I used to eat 6 times a day (and was always hungry)
|
Hey Reader, Most diet advice says eat 5-6 small meals a day to "stoke your metabolism." I tried it for two years at 280 lbs. I was hungry all the time. Here's what I learned later: every time you eat, even a healthy snack, your insulin goes up. When insulin is up, your body can't access stored fat. So you're hungry again two hours later, even though you have 60 lbs of fuel on your hips. Six meals a day = insulin elevated six times a day = constant hunger. I flipped it. Three meals, no snacks. Then 16 hours fasting overnight. Now I do mostly one meal a day and I'm rarely hungry. The first three days were hard. Day four was easier. By week two, I'd forgotten what real hunger felt like. That hormonal shift, plus 6 other hacks, took me from 280 to 200. Ten years ago. Still here. Hack #3 in the book is Intermittent Fasting Made Easy. How to start at 12 hours instead of 16, what to drink during the fast, and how to time it around social meals. Currently #1 Amazon Bestseller in Low Carb Diets and #1 in Diabetes.

Hey Reader, A lot of you have written to me about the same thing lately: weekends. The pattern goes something like this. Monday through Friday, you've got a rhythm. Breakfast is the same, lunch is close to the same, dinner follows the order you already know works. Then Saturday shows up, the schedule disappears, and so does the routine. Brunch at 11, snacking through the afternoon, dinner out, and by Sunday night it feels like the week's work got undone in two days. Here's what I'd say to...
Hey Reader, A while back you clicked through to check out my book on Amazon. You didn't pick it up, and that's totally fine. No pitch here. But I'm working on the next version of the Fix Your Insulin material, and the people who almost bought but didn't are exactly who I need to hear from. You saw enough to be curious. Something stopped you. That gap is where the most useful insight lives. So I'm asking one question. No survey, no form, no link to click. Just hit reply. Here it is: When it...
