The No Hunger, Eat-Anything, Weight-loss Plan
Imagine losing weight, without changing your diet, but by adding a table spoon of olive oil and a glass of sugared water to your daily routine. Sound unbelievable? Seth Roberts is an associate professor at the University of California. Twenty-five years ago, Seth had acne, insomnia and was overweight.
Today, Seth is clear skinned, well rested and has lost over twenty kilos. How? By using himself as a guinea pig, over a period of 5 years he believes he has discovered the trick to fooling the body's metabolism. Roberts's research stretches back to the Stone Age and is based on the development of the human metabolism whilst coping in a feast and famine situation. Seth believes in a body ‘set point’. That each body has an ideal weight which it will try to maintain, and which increases and decreases appetite at certain times to maintain—any serious long-term attempt to change this weight by dieting can be near impossible to achieve and then maintain. So he set out to find a way to trick the body's set point. he tried all sorts of methods, some unsuccessful, some too hard to sustain, until finally he found the trick of losing weight, keeping it off and still eating whatever he wanted. he found two agents, oil and sugar, that if taken between meals, were capable of tricking the bodies set point system.
