The reality is that up until the late 1960s, we just didn't have the technology to send rockets to the moon. And when we did, it cost billions of dollars.

And it's also true to say that because the human body has certain fundamental constraints on how quickly it's willing to lose fat while still keeping you sane and upright, it is highly unlikely that you will lose 25 pounds of fat in that amount of time, in four to six months. it is much more likely that you'll lose about half of that fat.

But if you try to shoot for losing that much, just like shooting a rocket into space without doing your calculations, you're likely to have a bad time. You're likely to burn out of the diet. You're likely to rebound out of the diet. Even if you don't burn out, you're likely to regain all of your lost weight or the vast majority of it while doing a whole lot of suffering.

But if you aim for roughly half of that amount during that time, then there's a high probability that you'll have great success and be able to keep it off. And keeping it off is good for two reasons. One, I don't suppose you want to just get fatter later. So it's good for the obvious reason. Like someone's like, hey, here's a million dollars. And you're like, great.

And they're like, but you don't get to keep it. You're like, what? So no, thank you. But the other really good reason is that your body doesn't like to lose a lot of weight at once. because of those, again, evolved evolutionary mechanisms, good God, evolved evolutionary, that's a hell of a phrase, those evolved mechanisms that kind of freak out on you and go, dude, we're starving.

I've noted this in my little body's notebook, and as soon as I get around food, I'm gonna blast you back up into the stratosphere with all the fat I can, because we're gonna fix this starvation problem. However, after you maintain your new body weight, let's say you lose weight over the course of three months, let's call it 15 pounds, significantly more reasonable.

You probably need about three months more of just maintaining that new low body weight. And then the first few weeks, your body's like walking up and down the hotel hallway, chain smoking about it. Like, oh God, oh God, how do we get this body fat back on? This is bad. This is really bad. Calling all the calls and all this stuff.
