Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was always afraid of science, and that's why I was fat for as long as I was. But something changed, and I became curious about what was going on in my body. I learned that my body can either be focused on storing energy or burning energy, but not both at the same time. When I eat less often, my body has more time to burn energy and fat. #2 Fasting is a great way to cleanse your body and give it the nutrients it needs.
It is worth exploring whether you want to lose three pounds or three hundred pounds, or simply improve your health. The best scientific proof you can get is trying it and feeling the changes in your own body. #3 Many diseases are caused in part by excess body fat. Losing weight increases your good cholesterol levels and lowers your triglyceride levels, which helps reduce the risk of those same diseases. #4 When we eat, the pancreas secretes the hormone insulin, which signals to the rest of the body that food is now available for energy conversion.
The body stores food energy in two different ways: as sugar and as body fat.
