Thermogenic FAQ: A review/evaluation of herbal thermogenic products that also answers many common questions: Should you cycle? Adrenal exhaustion? What is the beta-3 scandal? Written Home |
Now if you were to say that you want to get rich, an intelligent person would tell you to study successful businessmen and see how they do it so you can imitate them. But if you say you want to lose weight, they will tell you to go hungry the rest of your life, or grub for roots instead of processed food, and park your car 10 miles away from the store so you get more exercise. I may be a heretic, but doesn't it make more sense to imitate the people who are successful at maintaining a normal weight -- you know, the ones that do it effortlessly! Now, my case is somewhat unusual: I had juvenile-onset morbid obesity with a reasonably normal appetite and no set point. I'm like the genetically obese mice that are "programmed" (like computers) to get huge. My sympathetic tone was so low that when I started taking ECA it seemed like a curse had been lifted. It is tragic that the medical industry is not telling massively obese people about this well-documented thermogenic defect. Of course, if someone has a HUGE appetite, they will also need a drug or something to NORMALIZE their appetite. (Note: the Chitosan/Vitamin C combination that I discuss in this post is by far the best solution for people with big appetites.) However, the thermogenic defect is so common that ECA should be standard treatment for otherwise healthy obese people. Energy expenditure is much more important than how much you eat. Think about it: when people who are naturally-lean eat a lot, they burn it off through diet-induced thermogenesis. Likewise, when they eat little, their metabolism adjusts down. Regardless of what they eat, their bodies effortlessly adapt to maintain a normal, healthy weight. This adaptation occurs because their biochemical responses are normal. ECA normalizes the obese persons biochemical responses. (For more information, see my Thermogenic FAQ and these illustrations.) If your body does not effortlessly adapt to a normal varied dietary intake, then your biochemistry is out of whack. If left uncorrected, permanent weight loss will be forever elusive. This oversight is the reason why conventional treatments have a near 100% long-term failure rate. Sure, I could lose weight faster by trying to live an ascetic monk . . . until my metabolism slowed down. Then, almost like magic, the weight would return. Never again! Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. I seek liberation, not a period of remission caused by unsustainable deprivation.

You have said that you lost a lot of
weight by taking ECA without dieting. How can you eat pizza and stuff and still lose
weight?
Eating pizza and losing weight might
seem impossible but just about every naturally-lean person that I have ever known eats
pizza. Indeed, WHAT they eat is determined by desire and HOW MUCH they eat is determined
by appetite. Yet, almost like magic, they effortlessly maintain a healthy weight because
their bodies adapt to what they do.
