And I never felt worse.
And yeah, I was stronger, but I was covered in fat.
So it doesn't work.

You can eat a Snickers bar and a Diet Coke, and they cancel each other out.
These people have never treated an obese person, and they've never had to come back from it themselves.
The techniques that I've taught to millions of people, you are never hungry.
It requires no willpower and you feel great the entire time.
And the weight just comes off because that's how your body is supposed to do it.
That feeling of hunger is your body telling you, we got a problem.
We don't have enough energy.

In fact, the number of particularly women I've worked with over the years who are not eating enough calories and they cannot get rid of their fat.
So they start eating more, including more red meat and maybe even exercising less to reduce cortisol.

Their cycle regulates.
They feel better.
And now they're lean.
America put the government in charge of what we should eat, which is probably the dumbest thing you could ever do.
