If you’re expecting me to point the finger at any specific macronutrient in your diet as the cause
for your excessive weight, it’s not going to happen. Blaming the excessive consumption of carbs
and fats for your weight gain is totally wrong. W e get fat through abundance — by consuming
more calories than our body needs on a daily basis, over a period of time.
You and I both know that your excess weight did not just appear overnight from eating a candy
bar or cupcake. It just doesn’twork that way.W e gain weight by regularly consuming more

In the upcoming pages, you will learn how to calculate exactly how many calories your body
needs every day,so that you can immediately and consciously put an end to any future weight
gain forever!

body is in the fed state, there is simply no way that it can burn body fat. On the other hand, when
your body is in the fasted state, it is constantly mobilizing stored body fat from your body’s fat
stores and using that fat for energy — resulting in weight loss. The more time your body remains in
a fasted state, the more fat you will burn. The problem, however,is that research has shown many
of us remain in a fed state for approximately 20 hours a day! That’s up to 20 hours of every single
day being 100% incapable of burning any of your stubborn body fat.What’s worse is that not only
