Introduction
Weight loss plans fail. It’s a fact. Why then are we so confident that this one will help? Several reasons.
First, let’s look at why most weight loss plans fail miserably.
There’s one reason behind them, but the reason is so important it is the grave of many diets.
The reason is deprivation. Most weight loss plans call for it, and for no good reason, too. According to the average weight loss plan out there, you have to have patience and survive these first few weeks, valiantly battling cravings, eating less than you ever did in your life, and struggling to find the flavor of the bland dishes prescribed.
You manage. You pull through. You complete the weight loss plan, and go back to your old life, only to put that weight back on.
Deprivation-based weight loss plans simply don’t work. You can’t deprive yourself for your entire life. What you can do is change some of the habits that make you put on the weight. You won’t have to cavalry-charge them like a fairy-tale knight too. And you won’t have to perform feats of patience of willpower. All you have to do is want to improve. Gradually. Without heroics. Slow and steady wins the race. Slow and steady loses weight.
This short book is going to explain the theory and practice behind weight loss, and it’s geared specifically towards vegans. It deals with weight loss, but it also takes into account pros and cons of a vegan diet. It describes minerals and vitamins vegans are most likely to be deficient in when dieting, and it explains how to get enough essential nutrients to feel better than ever while losing weight the vegan way.
If you are anxious to start right now, start with the part called “The Practice”.
It describes the steps that you need to take to start your final weight loss journey.
Be sure to take your time and learn The Theory too. You will understand why you are doing what you are doing, and it is going to let you expand your options and motivate you on your quest.
Let’s begin.
THE THEORY
When we speak about weight loss, what words come to mind? For some its Atkins diet, low-fat diet or maybe color-diet. For others, exercise comes to mind, be it cardio or resistance training, cycling or swimming, working out in the gym or jogging. Most people will give both answers. Most people will say that in order to lose weight, a combination of exercise and diet is in order.
What is so magical about this diet-exercise pair that makes everyone think of it when the weight loss topic comes up? Well, to put it bluntly, that’s because it works. Diet and exercise will help anyone lose weight, no exception.
Why, then, many people report that dieting or exercise doesn’t work, and why so many struggle with losing their weight? After all, everyone knows that if you just exercise and go on a diet, you will get slimmer, fitter, happier, healthier, the list of benefits are endless. Why then for so many this formula just doesn’t work, especially with all the information out there that helps people pick ideal weight loss plans for them?
Well, in addition to the reason stated in the introduction, there’s just too much information.
You don’t have to know a lot to lose weight. You certainly don’t have to know about tons of existing diets that claim to help you lose weight. What you need to know are the core concepts behind weight loss, the most important of which is the Calories In, Calories Out principle.
Calories In, Calories Out
You’ve probably heard about this. If you did some research, odds are you know that there are conflicting opinions on the calories in, calories out principle. For the sake of readers who see this formula for the first time, and for the sake of clarity, let’s recap on this a bit.
Calories In, Calories Out (CICO) is basically a model of how our bodies deal with calories. The goal of the model is to simplify its real-life representation to make it easier to understand and study, and the Calories In, Calories Out model does just that.
The model views human body as something like a car, and calories as fuel. Calories from food go in, the body can go a certain distance, or perform other activities. If calories from food provide more energy than needed for the activities performed, weight is gained in form of fat. If calories from food provide less energy, weight is lost.
That’s the gist of it. Since it’s a model, it’s inherently an oversimplification. For that reason, it’s been receiving a lot of undeserved flak recently. Let’s look it over in more detail to understand it better.
Calories In
A dietary calorie, AKA kilogram calorie or kcal, is the measure of energy required to heat one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
If you take a hamburger worth 400kcal and completely burn it, it will heat a kilogram of water by 400 degrees Celsius. Amazing, right? That’s actually almost how the caloric content of foods is determined. Almost. Most foods have indigestible substances, like fiber, in them. And while they burn well and good, they can’t be digested by our bodies. Simply burning a whole hamburger doesn’t provide an accurate estimate of how much energy will human body derive from food, since fiber, which can’t be digested, will still be counted towards the total energy of the food.
That’s why a method known as Atwater system is used. The method involves simply adding up the calories available from the nutrients, which can be digested, of the food item. The calories available from the nutrients are determined just by burning them separately, and measuring the water temperature.
Here’s the list of these nutrients, and the associated caloric values:
Carbohydrates (this includes sugars and starches, with your basic table sugar or honey being the prime example) contain 4kcal per gram.
Proteins (the building blocks of your body which are very important, rarely encountered in their pure form) contain 4kcal per gram.
Fats (butter, olive oil, and so on) contain 9kcal per gram.
Ethanol (beer, wine, spirits) contain 7kcal per gram.
Now, remember the method by which the caloric content of these nutrients was determined? That’s right, they were simply burned down. And while all of them are digestible, and the first law of thermodynamics states that this energy has to go somewhere – it can’t just disappear – it doesn’t mean that eating 500kcal worth of food means the same thing for everyone. In fact, it doesn’t even mean the same thing when we look at different nutrients as source of calories.
This brings us to two very important conclusions:
