Getting Healthy & Fit is really very simple.

Do you think, getting back your original healthy & a fitter self is that difficult? let me tell you very bluntly.... its simple. its damn simple, if you try to understand the science and not driven by the bro science.

The Most damaging Food Lie, we have ever been told ;

• Fat makes you fat and causes heart disease
• To lose weight you need to eat less and exercise more.
• All calories are the same.
• Weight loss is about math—calories in/calories out.
• If you eat more than you burn you will gain weight.
• If you eat less than you burn you will lose weight.

You’ve heard it before: To lose weight, simply eat less and exercise more. Right? In theory, that makes sense. Actually, it’s not just in theory—science has proven that burning more calories than you consume will result in weight loss. But the trouble is that this only has short-term results. For long-term weight loss, it simply doesn’t work. Eat less and Exercise more, does not work in reality. Blaming excess weight on people simply not changing their eating habits goes back thousands of years. It is high time, we should stop viewing weight as something separate from other biological functions—like hormones and hunger and the effects of what foods we eat, not just how much of them.

How would you feel, if I say DON’T COUNT CALORIES. EAT AS MUCH AS YOU WANT. And by doing this, you won’t gain weight, rather lose those excess piled up body fat and you will achieve your best health, in terms of improving some of your critical health markers.

Low Carb in a Nutshell :

A low-carb is not a diet per se….. It’s more to do with lifestyle ….. Eating way of lifestyle. It means that you will try to consume your daily BMR calorie by eating fewer selected High fiver – Low GI carbohydrates, a higher proportion of fat & moderate amount of protein based on your health goal & condition. For decades we’ve been told that fat is detrimental to our health. Meanwhile low-fat “diet” products, often full of sugar, have flooded supermarket shelves. This has been a major mistake that coincided with the start of the obesity, Diabetics & enhance (LDL) cholesterol epidemic. Enough scientific studies today show that there’s no reason to fear natural fats. Fat is your friend. On a low-carb diet, you instead minimize your intake of sugar and starches. You can eat other delicious foods until you are satisfied – and still lose weight.

The Basics :

 Eat: Meat, fish, Chicken, eggs, tons of Green vegetables growing above ground and natural fats from Clarified Butter (Ghee), Butter, cheese, cream, Coconut Oil, Olive oil, Nuts, Avocado, Low GI fruits & Berries. Strictly Avoid: Sugar and starchy foods (Refined flour products like white bread, pasta, burger, white rice etc.) Eat when you’re hungry, until you’re satisfied. It’s that simple. You do not need to count calories or weigh your food. And just forget about packaged & processed low-fat products.

The reason is that our weight is not decided by the calorie only, rather it is decided mostly by the source of those calorie & are regulated by certain hormones. Cutting down all source of easy sugar ( Glucose, Fructose, sucrose ………..) by eating fewer ( complex) carbohydrates lowers blood glucose & lower the fat creating , storing & protecting hormone ” INSULIN”. This makes it way easier for our body to access and burn the excess body fat, without hunger or calorie counting.

Benefits of LCHF (WOE) Lifestyle:

 1. Weight Loss ( Abdominal FAT Precisely) : By LCHF way of eating essentially your body uses fat as an energy source – so there are obvious weight loss benefits.

3. Mental Focus : People with this way of eating are achieving increased mental performance. When body start utilizing Fat as its primary energy source, it produces ketone bodies. Ketone is a great source of fuel for the brain. When you lower carb intake, you avoid big spikes in blood sugar. Together, this can result in improved focus and concentration.

Some blood pressure issues are associated with excess weight, which is a bonus since Low Carb diet tends to lead to faster weight loss.
