1/6 You've been lied to about obesity.

Obesity is a hormonal problem, NOT a caloric one.

Your body does everything in its power to prevent you from getting fat. Because during evolution, being fat = death.

Everybody is predisposed to be skinny. Your diet fucks it up.

2/6 Instead of asking why people are getting fat, ask why they are always hungry.

Ironically, the cornerstone of weight loss therapy for the last 50 years leaves people extremely hungry.

So what makes people hungry? Ghrelin and Insulin.

3/6 Cutting calories and eating high glycemic carbs increases ghrelin activity, which signals hunger.

Insulin shuts off all body fat burning.

Instead of being used for energy, insulin causes the fat you eat to go straight to storage.

4/6 The solution is lots of protein and fat.

Foods high in protein and fat are more satiating than anything else.

Protein releases peptide YY and fat releases CCK, which signals to your body that you are full.

5/6 Yet protein and fat consumption have fallen off a cliff.

For the last 50 years, we've been fed lies with no end in sight.

6/6 You're not overweight because you eat too many calories or don’t exercise enough.

You’re overweight because you're eating foods that throw off all of your innate weight regulating mechanisms.

It's time to take back control.

Start the carnivore diet today.
