About this ebook
If you are overweight or obese, it's not your fault - and this book will prove it to you. For far too long now, our experts have been basing their advice on what the New York Times recently described as "A very weak kind of science". Current nutrition and weight loss advice is actually making us fatter rather than thinner. Control The Fat Hormone exposes that weak science. Then it looks at what the REAL science tells about obesity. Gluttony and sloth are not the causes of obesity, they are the classic symptoms of a fat-regulation problem. Fortunately this problem is easy to solve. This book will show you how to burn off your fat reserves quickly and easily, without ever going hungry, without ever counting calories, and without having to force yourself to exercise. This is the easiest and the fastest way in the world to enjoy a leaner, healthier, happier life.

INTRODUCTION
It's Not Your Fault!
The purpose of this book is to set the record straight regarding obesity and weight-loss.
If you are overweight or obese, it's not your fault. And this book will prove it to you.
The blame lies with our nutrition and weight-loss experts. And this book will prove that too.
Current nutrition and weight-loss advice is based around what The New York Times recently described as A very weak kind of science.
For far too long now, our nutritionists and dietitians have been dispensing advice that not only doesn't work, it actually makes us fatter. The problem is, our so-called experts still believe in that weak science
, and until they break free from their incorrect belief systems, they will just keep making things worse.
This book examines that weak science, it explains how our experts are actually causing the obesity problem, and why their so-called scientific
treatment methods can never succeed in solving it. They are locked into the belief that calorie-theory is a scientifically proven way to lose weight. But this book will prove to you that this is totally untrue. Calorie-theory is just a theory, and it has NEVER backed up its claims in the real world. The scientific principles behind calorie-theory (energy in versus energy out) were formulated to measure the efficiency of steam-engines. They don't work, not even close, if you apply them to something as complex as a human-being, and this book will explain why.
If we ever want to stop getting fatter and start getting thinner, we have to turn our backs on current nutrition and weight-loss advice, and look instead at what the REAL science tell us.
By the time you finish reading this book, you will be your own genuine weight-loss expert. You will know how to burn off your excess fat easily and forever, without counting calories, without ever going hungry, and without forcing yourself to exercise.
Abject Failure:
The experts tell us that we get fat because we eat too much and we don't move enough.
To lose weight, they say, all we have to do is eat less and move more.
But if I had a dollar for every time somebody had tried that, and failed, I would be the richest man on the planet. Almost three quarters of the people in the developed world are overweight or obese, and most of those people have tried and failed, again and again, to solve their problem by eating less and moving more.
A recent study showed that 99.9% of people who try to lose weight by eating less and moving more will either fail to reach their target, or will regain all of the weight they lost within a year. Only one in every thousand people will succeed, and that person will probably have less than fifteen pounds to lose. That's a pretty demoralizing situation for anybody who is trying to overcome a weight problem. Basically, it means that if you have more than fifteen pounds to lose, you have just about zero chance of succeeding.
If any other product had the failure-rate of eat-less-move-more, would we buy it? Would we buy a car if we knew it had almost zero chance of getting us where we wanted to go? Would we buy a washing machine if we knew it would only complete its laundry cycle once in every thousand attempts? Would we buy a plane ticket if we knew that nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine out of every thousand aircraft failed to reach their destinations?
I'm pretty sure we wouldn't!
We buy into eat-less-move-more (calorie theory), again and again, because the experts tell us that there is no alternative. Calorie theory is science, they tell us, it's a fact, and it's beyond dispute. And when it doesn't work, and it never works, they lay the blame on us.
It would work perfectly, they tell us, if we just had the willpower to stick to the rules.
As far as the experts are concerned, calorie theory is the solution.
But the truth is, the experts have no idea what they are talking about.
The Obesity Epidemic:
Since the 1980s, an obesity epidemic has swept through the developed world. In the 1970s around 12% of women were overweight or obese. Today that number is around 70%. That didn't happen because three-quarters of the world's women suddenly started eating more and moving less. It happened because our policy-makers and nutritionists made the biggest health blunder in the history of our species. We'll take a look at how and why they made such a blunder, how they actually caused the obesity epidemic in the first place, and why, until they haul their heads out of the sand and face the fact that they got things terribly wrong, they will just continue to make us fatter and fatter.
The Times They Are A Changing!
Over the years, the media has taken what the experts told them as gospel. The New York Times, for example, has published countless articles, repeating the facts
that the world was getting fatter because we were eating more and moving less, and that the only way to solve the obesity problem was to stick to the rules of calorie theory. But the times they are a changing! The quotes below were taken from a New York Times article published in February 2015. The article was called
The Government's Bad Diet Advice.
How did experts get it so wrong?
The problem is that nutrition policy has long relied on a very weak kind of science.
Instead of accepting that the evidence was inadequate to give sound advice, strong-willed scientists overstated the significance of their studies.
It’s no surprise that longstanding nutritional guidelines are now being challenged.
Uncertain science should no longer guide our nutrition policy.
Similar articles have started to appear in newspapers, magazines and TV programs all around the world. The word is finally getting out, our nutritionists know nothing about what really makes us fat. Which means they have zero chance of solving the problem.
We Almost had It:
Before calorie theory solved the obesity problem (which it hasn't), the endocrinologists (hormone specialists) were close to discovering the true cause of obesity. Most animals, including human beings, have a natural ability to regulate their body-fat content. In the wild, they never become obese. They carry just enough fat to keep them ticking over, but never so much that it slows them down. The endocrinologists believed that we become obese when something goes wrong with that fat-regulation process. Their studies would have solved the obesity mystery decades ago if the calorie theorists hadn't solved it first. But once the calorie theorists convinced the world that the answer had been found, the money for the real scientific research dried up, and the true cause of obesity, remained a mystery.
The Mystery Solved:
Fortunately though, some endocrinologists continued with their research.
They discovered, and they can prove it, that one hormone totally dominates our fat-regulation process. It forces us to store fat, and it prevents us from burning it The name of that hormone is insulin. I call it The Fat Hormone, and here are two key facts about it.
