Eating Less but Getting Fatter?

Eating Less often backfires and doesn't result in weight loss and getting rid of belly fat. Caloric restriction is a two edged sword. It can also result in nutrient deficiency and lack of variety. There is a difference between calorie restriction and fasting. Cutting calories lowers metabolism while fasting can actually raise metabolism and burn more calories and reset metabolism. This does not include fruit juice by the way, which is not fasting. True fasting is just water, which includes intermittent fasting. When trying to lose weight, the last thing you want is a slower metabolism. Slow metabolism slows everything including the burning of belly fat. You must move your body if you ask how to raise metabolism and burn fat. Eating less calories and food is not necessarily the answer. WHAT you eat is very important though. Cut all the refined carbs and oils, eat from the grocery produce section and move your body more.

I’m 27 years old, and I’ve been raw vegan for 6 1/2 years and have been at a healthy and consistent weight for six months now. My mom says that I am at a healthy weight and that I look good. I have muscle tone and it’s because I exercise every day or almost every day, and I eat three meals plus a small fruit snack in between lunch and dinner and have a small dessert after dinner. I don’t count calories because that is too much work for me. I eat plenty of protein every day as well and healthy fats for dinner and that keeps me full for longer so that I’m not overeating late at night. I’ve followed a lot of your advice and it has been helping me significantly.

Eating a healthy salad now. Lots of greens and red cabbage, black beans, sunflower seeds, avocados… 😊

My weight loss froze. I was eating hardly anything and working out every day (Pilates mostly). I started my day with a 32 ounce green juice...then later a huge veggie salad, then later on a sweet potato and another salad. It started out working well and then my weight loss froze. 3 weeks with no weight loss. It's perpelxing. Thanks for the video!

I walk about 20, 000 steps per day and I'm thin. Thanks Markus!

Ive been an active vegan for 20 years, but I struggled with my weight in my 30s and it was difficult to cut and keep it off. Portion control ultimately made the difference for me and I dropped 40 lbs from my heaviest. now I’m feeling the most fit and active in my life at 13% body fat. I’m happy with what I’ve accomplished but let yesterday’s achievements become fuel for today’s drive, not stall it!

I look forward to your videos every week!
If i may, i watched the documentary featuring Celine Dion.
It was heartbreaking.
Is there anything that could be done to help her and others with this condition?
You’ve helped so many of us and I really appreciate it.
Celine suffers from Stiff Person Syndrome.
Thank you so much !
Love You and Cara
❤️💕🦄💕❤️

Stay busy than you will never notice hunger. I only eat once a day and it’s plenty enough for my body. Love my daily salads and never get tired of it. When I see people eat carbs and bars I have no desire to that artificial crap. I think the key is not to try to lose weight but stay healthy

Every Sunday morning I get up and the first thing I see is your Video 💜

[discoqueenmom]

I've had problems with watery bowel movements, they say to eat more starch foods, I've done that but still have issues. So I'm not sure what to do but love this video, going to implement it!

[cianka]

[richmarko]

I thought counting calories was obsolete?

[andreamck]

Markus, I just saw, that you have a page on the german wikipedia! 😃 If you like this - congratulations! Grüße aus Deutschland und Danke für das Video....Andrea 🤗

[glendarelli]

So Markus, let's see if I understand correctly...Intermitted fasting, plant-based, skip the gluten & sugar products, & Move my body...? Thx:^)

The real problem is fructose and cortisol together. When cortisol is the active hormone we can't break down fructose. Fructose traps cortisol inside the cell permanently but cortisol blocks metabolism. The real solution is what makes your skin yellow and vitamin D.
