The short answer: You can’t. If you want to lose weight, stop eating. Fasting is the only way to lose weight since weight loss is 95% diet and 5% exercise. However, if you want to eat a lot, they say you can’t gain any weight from eating vegetables (except yams and sweet potatoes).
As the saying goes when it comes to losing weight, “You can’t outrun your fork.” However, it isn’t so much the calories in your food as it is the toxins that determines how much weight you lose. Eat a low toxin diet and eat less simply because you want to burn fat instead of carbs. Getting into the fat burning mode is not easy but once you do, it is like reaching nirvana. Also, keep in mind the energy in your fat is about 200 times greater than the energy in carbs on an ounce per ounce basis. The normal human body is capable of going 30 days without food using the on board fat. I did 26 days on juice and water and still could have lost another 10 pounds of fat. The point is it is done with your on board fat, not carbs. That’s why your body turns every carb into fat that you don’t use in the time after you eat. Your body hoards fat for the event of famine (30 days w/o food).
The actuality is you are going to “burn” a set amount of calories whether you are sitting, walking or running just to maintain the temperature of your body. Somewhat similar to the internal combustion engine that uses 75% of the energy in the fuel to overcome the friction in the engine. Maintaining body temperature turns out to be the bulk of your energy consumption in any event. Physical activity increases the transfer rate of the mitochondria activity so your body needs to cool off via perspiration when activity reaches a certain level. If you are concerned about the 1000 calorie meal you ate and are trying to “work it off,” your body is simultaneously converting a portion of the glucose to fat. So, even though you have done the work you still have some fat.
