In this article I will tell you how to lose weight fast, without feeling ravenously hungry or energy deprived.
But before we begin, let me introduce myself.
My name is Kris.
I am a med student and personal trainer.
I have been obsessed with health, nutrition and weight loss for many years.
During this time, I have read multiple books and hundreds of scientific studies.

"What can I do to lose weight quickly?”
This is a question I get almost every day, which isn't surprising since weight gain and the diseases that follow are becoming the biggest health challenge of the 21st century.
This article is pretty long, so grab a cup of coffee (or tea).
How to Lose Weight Fast
To lose weight quickly, we need to get to the root of the problem.
The cause of weight gain isn't that people are eating too much and exercising too little.
How could that explain overweight children? Are overweight kids just "greedy and lazy”?
Of course not. The world didn't just wake up one day and decide to become fat.
It isn't simply a matter of choice or personal responsibility. ...
... No one, and certainly no child, would ever choose to be fat.
No, weight gain is caused by eating foods that make the body hold on to fat.
The obvious solution to this is removing those foods. And it works.
But before I get to the details, let me explain a few things that will make the rest of this article easier to understand.

(Side note: If you don't care about the science and simply want to know what to cook and eat, then this is for you: A Meal Plan That Can Save Your Life.)
Insulin – The "Gatekeeper” to Your Fat Cells
I'm going to tell you a little bit about the hormone insulin, which is best known for its important role in blood sugar control.
What we're interested in here is how insulin affects your fat cells (adipocytes).
One of the main functions of insulin is to send signals to fat cells, which are specialized cells in the body whose sole purpose is to build and store fat.
To these cells, insulin functions like a "gatekeeper”.
It sends blood sugar into the fat cells and tells them to turn it into fat.
At the same time, insulin tells the fat cells to hold on to the fat that they carry, and not to let any of it out.
With a western diet, insulin levels can become constantly elevated. They are high almost all the time, leading to the constant body fat accumulation we call obesity.
So to make the fat cells release the fat, we need to reduce insulin levels by changing the foods that we eat.

That is The Problem. This is The Solution
The most effective way to reduce insulin is to reduce carbohydrates in the diet.
I'm not talking about Atkins here, so bear with me.
When carbohydrates in the diet are reduced, insulin goes down, and the fat cells are free to release the fat that they are holding on to.
When fat is freed from the fat cells, suddenly the body has access to a whole lot of excess fat that it can use for energy.
At this point, the brain realizes that it doesn't need to eat so much anymore.
Really, what's the point of eating when you have all those fats now available?
Appetite goes down, and weight loss occurs without any sort of restriction in calories as long as the carbs are kept low.
