The eat what ever you want and dont worry about it diet.

Dieting is one of those great ideas that works in theory and fails in practice.

Your body is a system, food goes in, gets converted to energy and is used or stored.

Thanks to millions of years of evolution our bodies were designed for a world where we reiceved, say, 100 units of food a day, and burnt 100 units of energy a day.
On some days we would get a little extra, say an extra 20 units, which could be stored as fat, and on some days we would burn more energy, say an extra 20 units.

So our bodies are designed to work in a narrow range of parameters:

100 of food in and 100 units of energy out.

Now fastforward to today: 400 unit of food in, 40 units of energy burned. Your fat. What do you do? you diet. You try to reduce the number of food units going in, either by changing what you eat, or eating less.

Basically every diet is about one thing: reducing the intake of food units.

Say you stick to your diet, which, if the statistics are to be believed, isnt likely, you might beable to get your average food intake back down to the 100 units your body is designed for. So now you've got:

100 units of food in, and 40 units of energy burned.

Result: your still fat! So what do you do? go on the more extreme dieting programs, the atkins, the red goo, the nothing but a deep breath and a ciggie diet.
So now youve got:

40 units of food in, and 40 units of energy out.

Result: you lose weight, except you body isnt supposed to run that slow, your body is designed to process 100 units of energy a day, every day, so your probably damaging your health, and your probably hungry as hell all day every day.


The problem is not a lack of food scarcity, its exercise scarcity.

The time before blue roses.

Right now, in the whole world and in the whole history of the world, there are no blue roses.
There has never have been, despite being the holy grail of rose growing, a single blue rose.
But next year, or maybe the year after, you'll be able to buy blue roses.
And from then on, there will always be blue roses somewhere in the world.
They will grow and die, and spring up again, and slowly evolve like every other rose.
And people will get used to seeing them and eventually they will be valued no more than roses of other colors.
But right now there are no blue roses.
