Mind boggling indeed, especially considering that it works all the time.
But it's annoying, and Americans want ease and convenience every step of the way.
I was approximately 20+ pounds overweight after all my pregnancies. I walked ... a lot. Ate less, moved more and shazzam, the weight came off.
I'm not gifted with will power or magical metabolism. Far from it. My ideal night is pizza, beer, and couch time.
But I wanted weight loss and fitness and I did what it took to get it.
If a lazy person like me can do it anyone can.
So, it works like statins.
If my fat burned it would be enough to heat a city up north.
I made the mistake of going on a fast before my last checkup. I wanted to impress mu doctor on a little weight loss. The blood panel showed my bilirubin levels sky high and he wants to do a scan of my liver. I said whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. I told him I was on a fast but he paid me no attention and didn’t write it down. Now go look in those medical books or even Wikipedia and see that bilirubin levels increase during a fast. So no, no liver scan for me.
In this instance, the west Texan is quite correct.
Which is a surprise, given how they drive.
“What could go wrong?”
Ever read the short story by Stephen King, “Thinner”?
