Numbers don’t lie….
Average TEF (thermic effect of food—increase in metabolism) = 15%
Dieting Tip
One of the mistakes people make when dieting with a high calorie deficit (consuming very low calories) is increasing there activities too much. Yes you will still lose weight (because of the large deficit) but it won’t be as fast as it would be if you decrease your activity to MATCH your calorie deficit level
You must dare to disassociate yourself
from those who would delay your journey… Leave, depart, if not
physically, then mentally. Go your own way, quietly, undramatically, and
venture toward trueness at last.

Busted Myth:Eating more frequently
One of the most prevalent myth is that eating more frequently speeds up your metabolism. Eating six times a day isn’t going to help you burn more calories than eating 3 times a day. The idea behind this myth is thermic response —calories burned processing the food you eat. The idea is the more frequent you eat the higher the thermic response and thus more calories are burned. A lot of people swear by this as the reason why the lost weight. They misunderstand the cause and effect of the reason. Its a matter of eating pattern. They eat SMALLER frequently which makes them less hungry causing them to eat less— thus creating a CALORIE DEFICIT. The last two words is the ONLY reason you lose weight/ body fat….creating a CALORIE DEFICIT…not eating more frequently. So eating six times a day isn’t going to speed up your metabolism anymore than eating 3 times a day.
Bonus: Muscle doesn’t burn as much calories as people think
Tip of the day Nutrition
Carbohydrates doesn’t contribute to fat gain the way some people think—-that is DIRECT conversion to fat (a process called De Novo Lipogenesis). The 2 times this RARE occurrence happens is
1) Total dietry fat is under 10%
2) 700-900 grams of carbs per day for 3 straight days from a carb depleted state (so the time would be shorter if you were not carb depleted).
The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries.

CHEAT
CHEAT: A lot of people make the mistake of NOT cheating during their diet. Cheating (going back to maintenance level calories or above briefly ) allows you to raise the hormones that are surpressed during dieting , raise your metabolism and go back to an anabolic state thus mitigating muscle loss —all of which adds up to increased rate of fat loss.
Like ripples in a pond that reverberates to the edge & back to the stone that was thrown in it, so does whatever you do to other people—-Not only does the ripples affect the person & others we never thought it would…. It eventually comes back to you
