The lazy man's way to lose weight

I'm on a diet. Before I tell you what kind of diet I'm on,  we have to define the word diet.

Diet is basically being in a caloric deficit.  Any caloric intake which is  below your basal metabolic rate will put you in a caloric deficit.

My baseline calorie intake requirement for a 24 hour period according to an online calorie bmr calculator is around 2200 calories. This means anything below 2200 calories for my daily caloric intake at my present weight will produce weight loss which is the main goal of any diet.  Sounds simple right?

The problem is your body doesn't live off convoluted caloric deficit bmr calculators. Rather, the body is a  closed loop system that operates off of specific hormonal sensors. If you eat carbohydrates, it will be released into your blood stream as glucose which will trigger an insulin response.  Then the glucose will either be stored as glycogen in the muscles or as fat in the body's fat deposits.

Your basic goal in weight loss is to hack that insulinogenic response of the body.  Obviously you want to take in less calories if you want to lose weight but if you cut your calories without addressing the hormonal response of your body when you eat food you will fail miserably at your weight loss goals.

Now I'm going to give you the solution or the "hack" that should be applied for your weight loss, and it is fish oil pills. The cost is about ten dollars for around five hundred tablets at your local grocery store.

The way you implement them into your diet is by doing this. First when you wake up in the morning, eat your breakfast. You want to include protein for cell regeneration, carbohydrate for sugar supply to the brain, and fat for satiety.

Next step.  Now wait for four or five or three hours until you get so hungry you can't ignore it.

Third step. Take (3) or (4) 1000-1200 mg pills of fish oil and one broad spectrum multivitamin that contains all soluble and insoluble vitamins and minerals necessary for basic bodily function

This step is your key to weight loss.  Each fish oil pill is around twenty calories and each multivitamin is approximately five calories.  This means you're going to survive on sixty-five calories for the next five or four or six hours or however many hours until you're hungry again for dinner.   The fish oil pills basically shut down the hunger response created by certain hormones like leptin and glucagon.

Now you're probably crying like a little bitch because you can't stuff your face like you usually do at lunch.  It requires a lot of discipline to not eat for the ten or so hours between your breakfast and dinner.  You'll probably be lethargic and weak when you first start out but eventually your body gets used to an essential part of any diet -- the fast.

The fast is not only about not eating but it's also about teaching your body to function without caloric intake. The fast is also about teaching your body to use your stored reserves of fat for energy.

If you've experimented with ketogenic diets, you probably know that it is possible to live off of ketones which are derived from fat cells.  The ketones then enter the Krebs cycle whereby ATP is created to feed body cells.

That's the basic step in your weight loss -- to fast enough times and for an extended amount of time to force your body to use the fat that's stored on your body.


There are certain complications with fish oil pills. Some people have adverse dietary reactions to them.   In that case you may want to use flaxseed oil pills.
