How Long Will it Take To Lose 50 Pounds
Well, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve been helping people lose weight for over a decade now. And I’m about to tell you the things that you need to do, the things you need to not do, and the things you need to ask your doctor to do and not do and to check to get 50 pounds or more off of your body and get you back to good health. That’s the ultimate goal — good health.
How Are You Going to Lose 50 Pounds or More?
The first thing you need to do is you need to get your lab work checked and here’s why. If you have a thyroid issue, if you have an adrenal issue, if you have other hormone issues, you’re never going to lose the weight until you get those issues corrected. So, if you have low thyroid, if you have adrenal fatigue, whatever that might or might not mean, we’ll talk about that in a future video.
If your male or female hormones are not optimized, then no matter what you do, you’re not going to lose weight because obesity is caused by abnormal hormone actions, balances, and levels in your body.
The Truth About Hormonal Imbalance and Obesity
We’ve dispelled the calorie deficit myth. The more calories out than more calories in myth — that’s not why you’re 50 pounds or more overweight. You’re 50 pounds or more overweight because of inappropriate dietary choices plus or minus hormone imbalances that need to be optimized in your body.
So, go see your doctor, get your hormones checked — not only your thyroid hormones, but also your adrenal hormones. And also if you’re a man, your testosterone. If you’re a woman, your testosterone, estrogen and progesterone levels. That’s step one — find out where you are.
Step 2: Review Your Medications
Step number two is to go over your list of medications if you’re taking any, because there are medications that can make you gain weight or that can keep you from losing weight. And so, if you’re eating a less than perfect diet, and you’re taking this medicine and that medicine, then you’re doomed to obesity. Even if you fixed your diet, the weight would come off so slowly that you really couldn’t even tell you were losing weight.
So, go to your doctor and ask, “Hey, are any of my medications making me gain weight or keeping me from losing weight?”
So step one — get your labs checked. Step two — if you’re taking any medications, make sure they’re not the kind that make you gain weight or keep you from losing weight.
Step 3: Fix Your Diet — Why Ketogenic Diet Works
Now, the next big step is fix your diet. And there’s a reason after all the years I’ve been in practice, and all the different diets I’ve tried with patients, the different weight loss medications I’ve tried with patients — why am I focused on the ketogenic diet? And I’ll tell you why right now. It’s because it works better than any other diet I’ve ever recommended or any other diet I’ve ever seen in my entire professional career. Hands down.
The paleo diet works pretty darn good, and it’s great for maintaining once you get to where you wanna be. But if you wanna lose weight as quickly as is healthily possible, the ketogenic diet — that’s it. I’ve never seen anything else that works better.
It’s a big deal. If you’ve got more than 50 pounds to lose, you don’t need to look at any other diet except for the ketogenic diet.
Step 4: Learn About Intermittent Fasting
Next big step is to find out what intermittent fasting is. Now, fasting is not starving. It’s not just skipping meals. It’s not starving yourself. That is not what intermittent fasting is. I don’t recommend starving yourself or going hungry like that. That’s not medically recommendable whatsoever.
Both of these — what they do is they switch you over from being a carb, starch, and sugar burner to being a fat burner. If you’re 50 pounds or more overweight — so pay attention. This is it right here. This is what’s going to fix your weight issue and save your life — the ketogenic diet plus intermittent fasting.
When you combine those two, it’s the most powerful weight loss method.
And so if you’re done, if you’re sick and tired of trying this diet and that diet, counting calories, carbs, and everything else — stop all that. Throw it all away because it’s meaningless. Focus on becoming an expert on the ketogenic diet, and an expert on intermittent fasting.
Why Carbs Keep You Hungry and Fat
We’re trying to get you to stop being hungry constantly for carbs. Because when you eat a low fat, high carb diet, lots of whole grains like you’re told to do by some doctors, you’re hungry all the time. And that’s because your body’s burning carbs. You burn those carbs up and then you have to have more carbs every hour or two or three.
That’s no way to live because you’re constantly hungry, constantly eating. It’s expensive, it cuts into your productivity, and you never lose weight.
If you’ve got fat on your butt, your belly, and worst of all, in your liver and in your pancreas, and you wanna get rid of that fat, you have to burn it. And you will never burn that if you’re eating carbs constantly.
If you’re eating three meals a day plus three snacks, like all the experts tell you to do, you will never lose that 50 pounds or more that you came here to learn how to lose. You’ve gotta learn. You’ve gotta remind your body, first of all — you can burn fat. You don’t have to burn carbs, and you do that with the ketogenic diet. Then you have to remind your body you can burn more fat, and you do that with intermittent fasting.
When you combine the ketogenic diet with intermittent fasting, you create a synergistic atmosphere of weight loss in your body. I promise you’re going to see more results, it’s going to be easier, and you’re going to be less hungry than with any other diet you’ve ever tried.
So — get your labs checked, get your hormones checked, make sure you’re not on any medications that are hampering your weight loss, and then become an expert in the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. When you do those things, you’re going to lose 50 pounds or more if you have it to lose.
Health Risks of Being 50+ Pounds Overweight
Any time you’re that morbidly obese, your risk factors for heart attack, for stroke, for dementia, for cancer are huge. If you’re over 50 pounds overweight, you’re like double or triple the risk of cancer of any part of your body. Proven, no ifs, ands or buts. Nobody can argue with that. Your risk of Type 2 diabetes is sky high if you’re obese.
