Why aren't you losing weight even though you're not eating?


Prečo nechudnete, aj keď nejete?

Do you want to lose weight, but are you stagnating, even though you have significantly limited your food intake? What about your intake - expenditure and deficit or surplus in calories?

It is enough if there is a balance between income and expenditure within the month.

The basis of healthy functioning of the body is balance. The energy we take in (intake) in food and drinks must cover the energy needed for the functioning of the body and activity, i.e. the total energy consumed (expenditure). It does not have to be 100% every day. That is not possible.

We can better understand the issue of income and expenditure, as well as the secret of weight loss, if we transfer it to the world of money.

Count on us for 1 day:

Energy = money

Daily paycheck (daily energy intake) = 1000 money (so that we don't use euros, or kilojoules, or calories)

Overhead and living expenses per day (i.e. the mandatory energy expenditure for the functioning of organs, which is basal metabolism plus energy for normal activities) = 500 money

...and now: the extra money we spend on clothes, cinema, handbag, meeting friends, trips = 800 money per day (energy spent on above-average activities such as physically demanding work, a lot of walking, sports activities, stress...)

You probably didn't miss the fact that we earned a thousand, but we spent 1300. That means we are in debt - in a deficit of 300 money. And this is how we live every day and we increase our debt every day. The credit card will cover our luxurious life for now and we will get away with not paying the bills for some time. In a figurative sense, this means that we continue to exercise and continue to have a high energy expenditure, but we are starting to significantly lack the energy to cover the basic functions of the body.

What will our bank say about this over time? Our body?

He will start saving. He will not give us more money, nor a loan. He will demand repayment of the debt. Even with interest.
Basic life functions will slow down so that the energy received is enough to cover them, because they are necessary (I repeat, this is primarily basal metabolism and normal daily activities). When something increases, it will want to cover part of the debts. Let's stop this merry-go-round before health problems come and weakened immunity lets diseases in.

Well, the only way to get out of this mess is to start earning more (increase your daily energy intake - food) or start spending less on handbags and trips (reduce your sports activities). And if our debt is too big, we need to do both of these steps at once. Stop spending and ask for a raise - stop exercising for a while and start eating normally.

Remember, we don't want to be in the weight loss stage for long, let alone forever. We wouldn't be able to handle that physically or mentally, not to mention the body's adaptation to increasingly strict conditions.

And the second thing, very important, is that our refrigerators are, thank God, almost always full. And we will end the excessive and long-term creation of debt by jumping straight into its middle.

And don't forget that with ADI-PEX the pounds will go down even faster :)
