You're not losing any body fat.
So that's an example of how the calories idea is completely wrong.
Because if you continue to do that, what's going to happen over time is that you get tired because you're burning fewer calories.
You don't have enough energy to generate body heat.
So you're cold, you're tired, you're hungry.
So you say, okay, I'm going to go to 1800 calories.
So now you're eating 1800 calories, but you're only burning 1500 calories.
Guess what?
You gain weight.
And you say, but how can I gain weight?
I'm eating less than I did.
Yes, you are eating less than the 2000 calories you used to eat.
You're eating 1800, but you're eating the wrong foods.
It's very high insulin foods.
So therefore you're going to gain weight.
In fact, everybody says that.
And all the nutritionists, all the doctors, they just don't believe them.
They say, you're lying, you're cheating.
You're eating more than you think.
Yeah.
