Understanding the science of losing weight is not difficult at all!  For a human to lose weight, they merely have to consume less energy than they burn.  If they do, they WILL ALWAYS lose weight - they must.  It simply is not any more complicated than that.  If I describe this in even simpler terms, for a human to lose weight, they must consume less energy than their body requires to stay alive, which forces the body to access and use stored fat and protein for energy.  In reality, it becomes very complicated because the human body is an astonishingly complex biochemical machine that has an overriding control mechanism that is responsible for survival.  Once the readily accessible energy stores (food) have been depleted, the body turns on one of the most powerful of all human drive mechanisms - even more powerful than the male drive for sex - and it is called hunger.  Even before the body begins to access stored energy, it will signal hunger.  This drive is extraordinarily commanding.  To begin any fitness program, it is essential to understand this drive, learn to never ignore it - but instead learn how to satisfy it.  Few people can control it.  But that's just fine!  Hunger is a sign of health and was never designed to be controlled.  If you wish to lose weight - we can be most successful by respecting this drive as a positive one and by satisfying it intelligently.  We accomplish this by what we eat and when we eat!  Stay with us here day by day at Fit Science, and we can share our experiences and successes at satisfying hunger in order to lose weight, getting fit and staying healthy.
