The Secret to lasting weight loss

The media has painted such a horrific picture of what it is to be over weight or obese that that extra weight also carries with it a crippling shame. Female celebrities in particular are torn apart if they are carrying some extra weight, even the tiniest amount of cellulite is criticized by every woman's magazine you can buy.
Why? The world has created a debilitating myth that gluttony and sloth are to blame for obesity. Almost one in three are now considered over weight and we suggest the reason for this is; food is cheaper and easier to get hold of, we live more sedentary lives, and kids are lazier because of video games.
Half the planet is on a diet at any one time (No idea if that's true but I wouldn't be surprised) why is the world not getting any thinner?
If you give a dog more food it doesn't get fat it just has more energy and moves around more. If you give it less food it sleeps and rests more. Why do we believe we are any different?
Energy in = Energy Out
This is not something we need to force, it will just happen. Are you a tired person? Are you exhausted at the end of the day/ part way through the day? You don't do more than everyone else, you don't work harder than everyone else ( No, you don't) you just don't eat enough.
What are you trying say?
If you were to eat 10,000 calories a day and you choose the right food you would not gain fat. FACT
If you make your plate smaller, miss meals, reduce fat intake and eat much less than your recommended calorie intake you will not, will not, will not lose fat FACT.
If you eat the same amount of calories per day but increase the amount you burn, by walking or taking the stairs or clenching at your desk you will not burn fat. FACT
Neither gluttony nor sloth are to blame for your weight gain you are not lazy, you are not greedy.
In the early part of last century Anorexia was believed to be a physical disorder rather than the psychological disorder we know it to be today. With this in mind the best method Doctors could find to increase weight rapidly was to inject insulin into their patients. The results of this were phenomenal; Anorexia suffers reported anything up to 10 lbs in weight gain within a week.
Before a cure for Diabetes type 1 was discovered sufferers would die emaciated their body fat would literally burn up completely. It is insulin that is used to balanced sugar levels in the body and prevent the burning of fat.
So what does this tell us? In the first case we can see that extra insulin in the body will cause increased weight gain. In the second case we can see that insulin can prevent the body from burning fat.
What does this all mean?
It is not eating excess food that causes us to gain weight. Weight is gained as a hormone response to insulin. When insulin is present in large quantities the body stores fat.
Just as hormonal changes in a pregnant woman's body will make her store fat in order to protect her unborn child, hormones are responsible for weight gain.
So what is producing this insulin and how can it be stopped?
Our bodies produce insulin as a response to carbohydrate intake. The higher the concentration of carbohydrate the greater degree of insulin is produce. This is the premise behind the famous Atkins Diet' the removal of all and any carbohydrates will result in rapid and successful weight loss.
Unfortunately many people fell ill as a degree of carbohydrate is required in our diet to provide us with energy. To achieve results equal to those seen with the Atkins Diet' we must only cut out the following:
-Starchy carbohydrates: Rice, pasta, potatoes, bread, cereal.
- Processed foods: pastries, biscuits, sweets, fizzy drinks.
- Sugar: Aspartame.
