If you think it's sustainable, it simply isn't. When the car runs out of gas, you can't keep running it on a deficit – you need to add more gas to the tank. The laws of thermodynamics say once you burn your energy, you need to take more in. You will bonk – your brain shuts down your body. Your brain isn't used to running on fat, it won't just switch over to those stores. People can white-knuckle CICO for awhile, but eventually, it just doesn't work. Biggest Loser shows a good example of how untenable this is. FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now! We need people to buy and review for it to stay at

However, thinking meat is bad for your health is a lie. Many "plant-based" foods are full of crap. Saying eating vegan is the only way to go is patently false. Obviously, consult your doctor, but perhaps veganism isn't best for strokes. SATIETY If you have trouble getting full, make sure you aren't eating something with hidden sugar. Usually, this is the culprit. Salad dressing is pretty common. Hidden sugar gets your hunger hormones going! FAT DOC IS OUT Go watch it now! We need people to buy and review for it t

When you start hitting Zone 3 or 4, you're not really burning fat, just sugar. So, the issue with burning sugar is that your body *does* need a certain amount of sugar at a time. You can get this with a lot of protein or some veggies, but why do this if it isn't necessary? The more exercise you do, the easier it'll be for you to stay in Zone 2.
