Actually, It Just Falls Off

"Based on the research and information I have on August 06 the following makes sense to me," Harlan Jacobsen Copyright © 2006

Your liver is a small tank for stored sugar energy and holds about a days worth. 24 hours tops.

During that time and in famines the body goes in to an emergency, burn very little fat to stay alive thru the famine mode.

This is normal fat burning human system. However, you and modern man are so awash in sugar, your body has switched to running primarily on sugar.

You are unable to burn off any fat. You have become almost a total sugar operational machine, when your model body was designed and made to run on fat.

The only carbs coming in now are from vegetables, berries all tied up with fiber involved, slow digesting and slow sugar release etc and that is a very slow sugar source process...

Your body has to relearn how to burn fat.... It burns fat and makes new fat daily. It learns to run on fat primarily and sugar is just for quick energy from the liver and add in for extra when fat conversion of fat is too slow.

When you were in high sugar operational mode in contrast every time you had a drop in sugar level you went into "hungry" and "crave sweets" mode.

Even though it was against your better judgment, you just could not help yourself and gobbled it all down, and/or had another sugar laden soda or two.

Then you try starving your body of fat in particular, (by eating "low fat" and it goes into famine alert mode, save your fat, we are in a famine, and it slows down even further loss of fat to get you thru what it perceives as a coming famine..

Your body soon learns you are back operating on a fat burning system.

It will automatically draw down your fat, you wont be hungry, you eat whenever hungry and you will be amazed how little that occurs.

and the fat just

fell off on its own.

Here I see these people adding and subtracting, keeping track of this and that figuring how much exactly of this and how much of that they can eat and they go down a pound or two.

In the end they are back almost where they started.

My key was never going hungry. Pretty soon you find out if you eat a little every couple hours, (nuts and seeds are good and I always have "pemmican' around). (see issue three)

You understand I do not eat buffalo because it is low fat. I eat buffalo and fish etc because it is the right kind of fat.

I find it very hard so far to find grass fed beef, chicken, range raised pork etc., but most buffalo (you have to ask) is grass raised.

I actually go out of my way to find fat. (caveman did too) Caveman diet people never eat anything (labeled) low fat.

I get fat from COD liver oil, flaxseed oil, some olive oil, and even butter. (no bread of course) and I take some fish oil supplements. Also whole fat yogurt, and half and half on my odd ball breakfast mixture. Eat lots of nuts and seeds and get Mega 3 fats that way.

Atkins, the Zone diet etc are close to Caveman diet but you still have a nightmare of keeping track and phases you have to watch and go thru etc... who needs it.

I guess a lot of people stay on them cause they have gotten the impression you can keep on eating your favorite old stuff,,,( they do not want to give up anything) just not eat so much of it.

Caveman diet you just resign to give up totally, what ever is not on the list and eat what is on the list like crazy....Soon get over that, find out you really do not have to eat like crazy to get along just fine.

If you are on the internet, put the words "caveman diet", in Google, or paleo diet, or Paleolithic diet. Read up on it  Lot better writers then I am explaining it. When I write about Caveman diet, I have likely read thru over time, 50 articles written over a period of years, 2 or 3 books on the subject and write on my personal experience.

Never the less, I invite you to read up on all of these things I discover, consider important enough to get your attention and try to get you to...explore,.....and go far further then my writings.
