The Key to Obesity – and Weight Loss

Do you want to lose weight after the summer? Then you probably know that an LCHF diet is a good beginning. For many, a strict LCHF diet is all that is needed.

For others, LCHF doesn't do the job well enough. If that includes you, you can check out the page with more tips for how to lose weight.

If you want new insights that will take you all the way to your dream weight I highly recommend this presentation by the brilliant and entertaining Dr. Jason Fung, from the LCHF convention in South Africa.

You can watch a short clip above. Why is there an epidemic of obesity in 6 months old babies? It's hardly caused by babies exercising less these days! One probable reason is what happens to the baby in the uterus. This and other clues leads to fascinating conclusions with huge practical implications for deciding not only what to eat but also when, to lose weight.

The full presentation is available on our membership page ( free trial one month) or you can buy access to all presentations of the LCHF summit for a one-time fee of $49 - all of which goes to the organisers and funds future conferences.

The Key to Obesity

After watching this presentation I thought further about not only what I eat, but also when I eat. The result? I lost an additional 5 lbs (2 kg) without effort, or hunger. My weight has now been stable at exactly the same as when I was 20 years old - 203 lbs (92 kg) to my 6'7″ (202 cm). My BMI is now exactly 22.5.

This additional small weight loss was nothing I needed or strived for, but it's fascinating how simple it has been to consistently weigh exactly the same at age 43 as at 20.

An LCHF diet is all very well, but Dr. Fung points to an important point. Common obesity is not just caused by carbs, it's caused by the fat-storing hormone insulin. Large amounts of carbohydrates is the main cause of elevated insulin, but there are several other important causes. When you eat is also very important.
