I like to compare the human body to the power in a home. So lets consider your body a home, with a backup generator. If your home has plenty of energy (food) your lights will be bright, but when the power goes out in say a storm, the generator kicks on, but notice that the lights are dimmer, this is because the generator dosnt know when power will come back and it wants to conserve the energy it has stored just in case it takes a long time before it does. The body works the same way, your food is energy, your fat is stored energy, if you don't feed your body with good nutrients, often, it will store the food you do eat as fat for energy later. What this also does is cause your body to run on the least amount of power possible, that is why we get tired in the afternoon, most dont eat breakfast which causes your brain to slow everything down (dim the lights), you must feed your body if you want full power, the trick to losing fat and eating to maintain energy is several meals spread throughout the day, and when you do eat, only eat half of what you think you need, and add more selection! collapse
