That means most of these inadequate diet methods must
simply assume that you will be able to almost constantly fight some
degree of hunger, craving, aches, pains, or low energy levels while you lose
the weight. They call it "motivation", and "the will to succeed", and lots of
other things....
. . .But it's really just demanding that you "make
up" for their inadequate diet design.
On this Website we think about hunger in a
completely different way.
We say "hunger" is just a symptom of a
developing nutritional shortage that you should and must
correct in order to continue your diet and lose weight successfully -- and
which you easily can correct when
you know how.
Of course, there are a lot of different human
nutrients and therefore a lot of different nutritional shortages that
might develop -- and each one of them would then trigger that unnecessary
diet-destroying hunger. But none of them are very difficult to understand
or manage, once you know how.
The main point is that when you feel "hunger", this
just means your body isn't getting enough of something it needs.
So of
course it triggers hunger -- how else could it make you eat and
therefore get it more of whichever nutrient it must have to
keep you healthy?
Therefore, to lose weight without hunger, you must use a diet technique
that ensures you get
normal amounts of every human nutrient -- except Calories.
(You must get less than "normal" amounts of Calories, whatever
"normal" means for you).
This principle is simple to explain, and the
techniques are simple to do...
...but the specific methods are not so simple to
figure out on your own.
Here are the Methods that Work:
The methods you need are any ones that reliably
(meaning every day) give your body enough of every single individual
nutrient that it requires -- but that just as reliably don't give it
enough Calories to maintain your current weight.
That's not easy to do without help, because most people have no idea what
nutrients they need, or how much of them, or what foods to eat to get them
in the right amounts -- without also getting a lot of excess calories in the process.
But when you can do this successfully, your body simply
pulls it's daily Calorie needs out of your fat cells (which is why they
exist anyway), but still won't run out of any other nutrient that it must
have and
can only get by making you hungry and forcing you to eat.
Therefore, you will lose weight, but you
won't get hungry while it's happening. And that means you will be able
to stay on your diet for as long as you need to lose all the weight you want.
How Do You Do This?
There are about 50 nutrients that your
body could need when it makes you hungry. That's a lot to manage -- and
you can learn how to manage all of them on this site
-- free. (See the
category links in the top-left section of most pages.)
But we also give you much quicker and easier
short-cuts.
This site gives you a huge amount of nutrition and weight
control information (several hundred pages). Much of
this information is excerpted from
The 2004 Multi-Diet, a full-length softcover book we publish
(available
here and also thru any bookstore). It shows in detail how nutrition affects
bodyweight -- and which specific foods and combinations and techniques will let
you use nutrition to push your bodyweight down.
We hope you'll eventually read most of what we've got here on
our website. But there are much quicker and easier ways for you to get
results.
The Most
Practical Way:
The Simple Effective Weight Loss Practical Guide
The most practical way to get started quickly and
successfully losing weight is to follow the instructions and techniques
in our downloadable eBook:
The Simple Effective Weight Loss Practical Guide. This eBook gives you the known practical
techniques that will make sure your body never runs short of anything that
would trigger hunger. At the same time it ensures that your body must always
use stored fat calories for most of its fuel needs. This guide leaves nothing
to chance, you know exactly what foods and combinations, and how much of
them, you must eat each day to get all the hunger-killing nutrients -- but
very few calories -- so your body constantly burns stored fat for fuel. It
gives several different complete diets that will do this, as well as all
relevant practical techniques needed for when and how to use them.
That's what makes you lose weight and lets you
keep
losing weight for as long as you need to.

When you really want to become an expert on losing
weight with high-nutrition, low Calorie dieting methods, The 2004 Multi-Diet is the book for you.
The 2004 Multi-Diet
is a full-length softcover book -- published by us (Hamilton/Wolcott
Publishing) -- which you can order
through this website, or through Amazon, or through any other bookstore --
either online or
in your own neighborhood .
The Multi-Diet gives you everything we know about the
science, background, technique, nutritional deficiency (and toxicity)
symptoms, discussions of obscure food nutrition factors, even how
to use
exercise and various food sensations to improve and speed
up weight loss.
But Why Can't You Just Take a Vitamin Pill?
Yes, it would be nice if you could just take some
sort of "multivitamin supplement" to guarantee adequate nutrition.
Unfortunately, if it were really that simple, all the vitamin companies would
already be selling the supplement and nobody would be fat anymore.
One of the problems with this idea is that even the
best "multi's" can only reliably give you about one-half of the total number
of nutrients you need. There are good practical and safety reasons for this,
(which are explained in
The 2004 Multi-Diet). Note: We do recommend using the
right kind of
"multi" because that does help. It's just that multi's -- by themselves -- are
not enough.
You need more sophisticated methods.
Here's another problem with multivitamin
supplements: Many people (even nutritionists) talk about "vitamins &
minerals" as if these substances all belong to more or less one single
category of nutrients.
That misses a critically important practical
distinction.
There are thirteen vitamins and eight "trace
minerals" -- a total of 21 -- which are officially recognized as being
essential in human nutrition. These are all nutrients that are needed in such
small quantities that multivitamin supplement manufacturers can easily pack
all you need for a whole day into one pill. (The high-quality brands do a
very good job with this and we strongly recommend using them.)
But in addition to these, there are seven "major
minerals" -- not included in the above 21 -- which are needed by the body in
such large daily amounts that supplement makers can't put all you need
(or even close to it) into a
single multivitamin supplement. But you still need them -- and in these large
amounts. (And most of the popular diet techniques don't even
mention them, much less give you any reliable way to get enough of them.)
|
The 2004 Multi-Diet gives you all of both the theoretical and practical
information you need to manage the major minerals so you can successfully lose all
the weight you want.

That means you have to get these major minerals mainly from food (actually
there is also one other way, discussed in
The 2004 Multi-Diet) or you won't get enough -- and if you don't get enough, your
body will trigger hunger to try to keep you eating until you do get enough --
however long that takes -- and however many excess calories you get in the
process. (And you should think "loads of excess Calories" whenever this
happens.) Of course you won't lose any weight on any diet that lets this
happen.
Furthermore, these major minerals are needed in such large
amounts that you must eat more or less "normal" amounts of "ordinary" foods
in order to get enough. But "normal amounts of ordinary foods" also have
"normal" amounts of Calories -- and that makes it nearly impossible for you to
lose weight. (It's a classic "Catch 22".)
So to lose weight without hunger, you must eat
low-Calorie foods that also have concentrated amounts of these major
minerals -- rather than whatever "ordinary foods" are normal for you.
And in fact, there are quite a few common,
easy-to-find foods that do have concentrated amounts of the various major
minerals. But you need to know which ones they are and how much of them to
eat. (As an example, most skim milk products and pure tomato products are
excellent for several of the major minerals.)
The 2004 Multi-Diet, and The Simple Effective Weight Loss Practical Guide, explain many of the foods that are
suitable.
Essential Fatty Acids -- Another Neglected Nutrient
Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are other often-neglected
nutrients. They are just like vitamins -- your body must get them from food
because it can't make them from anything else -- and they are
essential to life
and health.
|
There are two essential fatty acids -- linoleic
acid and alpha linolenic acid. Your body needs each in specific known amounts to keep
you healthy. The 2004 Multi-Diet discusses these amounts and the best and easiest
ways to get them.

But most popular diets don't even mention the EFAs, which are nutritional substances found in some,
but not all, fats. At best, these
diets simply steer you toward "poly-unsaturated" fats, or sometimes toward
"mono- unsaturated" fats, and away from "saturated" fats.
That's not good enough either.
A few poly-unsaturated fats do have concentrated
amounts of the EFAs, which is great. But most poly-unsaturates have little, if any, of the EFAs. (Saturated fats and mono-unsaturated fats
never
have any EFAs in them.)
So you need better guidance on which poly-unsaturated
fats to eat and how much of them you need and what foods have them. You
rarely get such advice from ordinary popular diets.
You must get enough of the EFAs from food or your
body will quickly come under "nutritional stress" -- and that will tend to
trigger some form of the hunger, craving, aches, pains, or low energy levels that
make weight loss so unnecessarily difficult and unpleasant.
(You will also tend to suffer from areas of thin, dry, rough, flaky skin that
irritates easily. This is a classic clinical symptom of a moderate-to-severe
EFA deficiency.)
To avoid all that, you need to include the right
(i.e. small) amount of high-EFA poly-unsaturated fats in your diet -- and there are
several simple ways to do this. (Of course, you should still cut out most of
the other fats since they just give you those Calories that you obviously don't
need.)
(Note: In our opinion, the failure of most popular diets to
deal with this EFA issue is inexcusable. Nutrition science has known since
the 1930s that EFAs are essential for humans. This is not new, or
controversial, or even questionable anymore. And the approximate amounts of
each EFA needed by humans have been known for at least the last 15 years.
Weight-loss diets that allow their users to become deficient in essential
fatty acids therefore reflect, in our opinion, simple nutritional
incompetence.)
We give a lot of guidance on how to easily handle the
EFAs in the
The 2004 Multi-Diet, and in
The Simple Effective Weight Loss Practical Guide.

The weight-loss information in all of our
publications shows you how to eat high-nutrition, low-calorie foods, because
it is a particular type of "revolving" poor nutrition that causes you to gain
weight ... and also prevents you from ever completely losing that weight.
(Most of the theoretical details on this are explained by
The 2004 Multi-Diet in the threshold
theory chapter.)
This means the secret to weight control is simply to
learn what foods and supplements and combinations can provide 100% of your
required daily amount of each nutrient, but at the same time give you very
few Calories.
All of our publications are about various simple,
effective, and successful ways to do this. When you learn how to do this,
losing weight becomes simple, effective, and easy. Until you learn this, it's
nearly impossible, no matter how motivated you are -- or what technique you use.
The Key Problem
Whenever your body starts to run low on any nutrient
that it needs to keep you alive and healthy, it triggers hunger -- or some
other strong eating motivation -- to make you go eat. It does this because it
"knows" (in a sense) that eating is the only way you are ever going to get any more of
any
nutrient.
But just "eating" isn't good enough. You also have to
eat food that actually has reasonable amounts of the nutrient you need.
Because if you eat something with only small amounts of some nutrient you're
short of, your body will continue to make you hungry (or start doing it again
after only a short time).
That's why just taking a pill or using some
incomplete diet technique won't work for long. You need a technique that
correctly manages
all food nutrition every day because any nutritional shortage, no matter how obscure
the nutrient, can have this hunger-inducing effect.
The main problem you face in designing workable,
high-nutrient, low-Calorie diets is that no single food has all of the
nutrients you need -- but every single food (except water) has the one nutrient
you don't need -- Calories!
So obviously, it's a whole lot easier to "go wrong"
than "go right" -- and most diet designers -- including
professionals -- do go wrong, until they've learned
how to avoid the problems.
Whatever diet technique you use can't work unless it does
two things at the same time.
One: It must reliably give you normal amounts of
every nutrient your body needs -- except Calories.
Two: It must reliably restrict Calories to
well below
the amount you need to maintain your present body weight.
These two things must happen at the same time, and
they must happen reliably every day, or your diet won't work well --
and probably won't work at all after a while.
As you can see, most foods tend to push you in
exactly the opposite direction -- they reliably give you Calories (many of them
give you lots of Calories) and they just as reliably fail to give you enough
of many other nutrients. That's why you have to use the right combinations of
low Calorie foods in the right amounts.
The 2004 Multi-Diet, and The Simple Effective Weight Loss Practical Guide explain all the different tips, tricks,
and techniques that allow you to overcome this insidious imbalance.
Effective Diets Need Know-How --- Not Will-Power!
|
Whenever we've studied people who have lost a lot
of weight, we've found that -- in reality -- they were in some way eating a lot of
high nutrient, low calorie food.
Often, however, they didn't know that they
were doing this, and thought that their weight loss was due to some other cause.

Our Bookstore

Designing diets that have all of the known nutrients
but also have very few Calories, is lots easier said than done -- which is
why many popular diets say it without doing it at all. (But actually, most of
the time they
simply ignore the whole issue.)
As we've already mentioned, most diet techniques
barely even mention, for example, the essential fatty acids or the
macrominerals (and there are other nutrients that also typically go unmentioned).
But despite their importance, the essential fatty
acids and macrominerals are not more important than any of the other
nutrients.
Yes, a lack of EFA's will cause your diet to fail. A lack of any
other needed nutrient will also cause your diet to fail, because your body
will trigger hunger -- or some other eating motivation -- to try to make you get it
whatever it needs more of -- and that could be any nutrient.
That's why you need simple effective techniques that
will ensure simple nutritional sufficiency of all needed nutrients -- while at
the same time eliminating excess Calories.
You don't need some sort of oversimplified focus on
just one or two major nutrients. You don't need a "miracle breakthrough" that allegedly somehow
tricks your body into burning fat by using some obscure physiological
mechanism you've never heard of (and which -- truth be told -- probably
can't
work that way anyhow.
That's why we published the The 2004 Multi-Diet and
The Simple Effective Weight Loss Practical Guide. These books each use
different foods and combinations of foods to give you all necessary human
nutrients -- including the EFAs -- with very few Calories. Each is also easy to do
because they use ordinary supermarket foods and ordinary multivitamin and
mineral supplements.
Our Free
Material: An Easy Way to be Sure It Works
We've made all of the information you need available
free on this website. We've done this in order to give you an easy way to
prove to yourself that this method actually works.
That's not a trivial concern. We know you've probably
failed with several other methods. So naturally you're skeptical about maybe wasting
money on yet another one. So we've provided you this way to reassure yourself
that it will work as we say.
However, our books and e-books are easier, quicker, & simpler to read, understand, and use.
What does this mean for you?
Once you've read enough of our free material -- and if you decide that you'd like
to try the high-nutrient, low-Calorie method in its most focused and
professionally developed form, then we recommend
The 2004 Multi-Diet or
The Simple Effective Weight Loss Practical Guide.
These two books are different. The information they
contain overlaps but it is not identical.

The main focus
of The Simple Effective Weight Loss Practical Guide is to get you started fast by giving you twelve different
high-nutrition, low Calorie diets, any of
which you can use for as long as you need to lose all the weight you want.
You can also switch among them as often as you wish.
-
Each Simple Effective Diet is one you can use as
often as you like for as long as you like.
-
Each Simple Effective Diet uses ordinary
supermarket foods, so it is simple and easy to prepare.
-
Each Simple Effective Diet provides a relatively
familiar set of meals that still have all of the benefits of high-nutrition,
low-Calorie eating, but are simple and straightforward to prepare.
-
Each Simple Effective Diet uses (where appropriate)
simple, ordinary, generic nutritional supplements to eliminate
Calories and give you the officially recommended amounts (or more) of
specific
necessary nutrients.
-
Each Simple Effective Diet is therefore very simple
to use and very effective at making you lose weight.
The Simple Effective Weight Loss Practical Guide contains more of the pre-developed meal plans and
recipes and other practical information -- and less of the background
information on nutrition, do-it-yourself diet design, and other weight
management issues. It contains all of the practical techniques we have
so far developed or become aware of, but less of the information that you'd
want in order to understand nutrition science, develop your own meal plans, and adapt
them to your lifestyle. It contains all of the tips, tricks, and techniques
for simple effective weight loss, but fewer discussions of various
diet-related issues that you may have heard about from other sources.
The Simple Effective Weight Loss Practical Guide
also
gives you:
-
Brief discussions of the nutrients you need to
manage, so that you'll have a clearer understanding of what you are doing.
-
Brief explanations of some otherwise confusing
issues that might worry you if you didn't understand them while you were
following the Simple Effective Diets in the book.
-
Brief discussions of most of the foods you use on
the diets and how to buy the right ones (because in a few cases you can
easily -- without knowing it -- get some brand or type of food that won't work).
-
Each Simple Effective Diet gives you all of the
nutrients you need for a full day -- in the right amounts -- but only about 1500
Calories. (Unless you are bed-ridden, you cannot avoid losing weight eating
only 1500 Calories per day.)
The Simple Effective Weight Loss Practical Guide is the book you want if you just want to get
started fast without first reading about a lot of the background and science
behind the techniques!
The 2004 Multi-Diet
The 2004 Multi-Diet is the "magnum opus" of this technique.
This is the book you want if you really want an
in-depth understanding of science and technique so that, for example, you could
fine-tune your diets to your own particular situation -- or even create your own
simple effective diets.
The 2004 Multi-Diet contains :
- all of the background information on the
theory behind these methods
- the science that supports it
- the known requirements
for each different nutrient
- the foods that contain these nutrients in the
largest amounts, and
- many suggestions for designing your own diets using
these principles.
- It also contains a several complete simple effective diets. (But not as
many as the Practical Guide.)
Among other things, The Multi-Diet explains:
-
How much protein you really need per day; why more
protein than this is not good; why less is even worse; and how you can
calculate your own "personal best" amount.
-
How much carbohydrate you really need and why.
Preview: Moderately low-carb diets are excellent for weight loss. But
ultra-low carb diets make losing weight very difficult -- and most are
also doomed to stop working after a certain amount of time.
-
The kind of exercise that will help you burn stored
fat calories -- and the kind that won't -- and why.
-
How your body handles a mixture of different
"fuels" including alcohol. Preview: Even dieters can drink alcohol if they
understand how their body will handle it -- and of course if they can stop
before it gives them too many Calories.
-
What are the seven macrominerals? How much of each
of them do you need? How do you get them? Which foods have them in the
highest amounts? What are the known deficiency symptoms? What about toxicity
(i.e. getting too much and poisoning yourself)?
-
What is your "Ideal Body Weight"? Can you trust
this number? How do you use it? What about the related "Body Mass Index"?
-
What foods have which nutrients in the largest
amounts? With the fewest Calories?
-
The Multi-Diet discusses all these issues in
detail, as well as the traditional "much, much more".
The 2004 Multi-Diet is the book for those who want the most
comprehensive understanding of the whole issue of weight loss -- and the methods
to make it really happen -- and why they work -- and how best to fine-tune them so
they can work best for you.
You can read many sample chapters of
The 2004 Multi-Diet
on this website. We hope that you will stay awhile -- or return -- and do so. (To make
it easier to come again, I suggest you bookmark this page now.)
