1st Month Session: Understanding Real Hunger

Introduction

The first month of our weight loss course is dedicated to understanding “Real Hunger.” If you want to truly recognize your actual hunger, you must first understand two crucial hunger hormones: Ghrelin and Leptin.

These hormones signal the brain when the body needs food and when the stomach is full. Understanding them is essential to managing hunger effectively and achieving sustainable weight loss.

Why We Don’t Recommend Carbohydrates

In our Fastest Weight Loss Course, we do not recommend carbohydrates. Carbohydrates include:

• All types of grains
• All types of pulses
• All types of sweets
• All types of fruits

Why Avoid Carbs?

1. Highly Addictive – Carbohydrates create cravings, making it difficult to control portion sizes.
2. Poor Hunger Hormone Regulation – Carbs interfere with ghrelin and leptin, leading to overeating.
3. Non-Essential Macronutrient – Unlike proteins and fats, carbs only provide energy without essential functions in the body.

What Should You Eat?

• Fats
• Proteins

Why Fats and Proteins?

• Our hunger hormones regulate them well, preventing overeating.
• They are essential macronutrients that support overall body functions beyond just energy.

First-Class Proteins: What You Should Eat

Proteins are classified into First-Class Proteins and Second-Class Proteins.

Recommended First-Class Proteins:

Vegetarian Sources:

• Buttermilk
• Paneer
• Cheese

Non-Vegetarian Sources:

• All types of meat
• Seafood
• Whole eggs (rich in fats and fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K)

Why Only First-Class Proteins?

• They contain all essential amino acids, making them complete proteins.
• Second-class proteins (e.g., pulses, soybeans, tofu) are incomplete and contain more carbohydrates.

Healthy Fats: What Should You Eat?

Fats are categorized as Natural Saturated Fats and Unsaturated Fats.

Recommended Fats:

• Butter
• Desi Ghee
• Coconut Oil

Avoid These Fats:

• Refined oils
• Palm oils

These unhealthy fats are processed and harmful to overall health.

Importance of Water and Saltwater

Water Intake

• Recommended: 4 liters daily.
• Purpose: Hydration, not weight loss.

Saltwater Intake

• Needed to replace essential salts lost due to modern water filtration systems.
• Recommended types: Black, White, and Pink Salt (Mix in equal quantities and store in a container).
• How to Prepare: Mix ½ teaspoon of the salt mix into 1 glass of water and drink.

Who Should Avoid Saltwater?

• People with high blood pressure.

When to Adjust Saltwater Intake?

• Increase if experiencing cramps, migraines, or dizziness.
• Decrease if experiencing loose motions.

Avoid Taking Saltwater with Carbohydrates

This combination can cause swelling and bloating.

Black Coffee: Benefits and Limitations

Benefits:

• Increases energy levels.
• Helps delay hunger.

Limitations:

• Should not be consumed after 2 PM to avoid sleep disturbances.
• Not recommended for individuals with high blood pressure.

Micronutrients & Supplements

Modern diets often lack essential micronutrients. We recommend:

• Omega-3 Supplements – Natural sources like fish or flaxseeds are insufficient for daily needs.
• Multivitamins – Support overall nutrition.

Healthy Sugar Alternative: Stevia

• Regular sugar is restricted due to its high carbohydrate content.
• Stevia is a natural, safe alternative made from sweet basil.

Why We Avoid Salads

Salads have little to no nutritional value and can interfere with understanding real hunger. Hence, we do not recommend them.

Factors Affecting Real Hunger

1. Age: Children have lower hunger levels than adults.
2. Lifestyle: People with physically demanding jobs require more food than those with sedentary jobs.
3. Diseases: Conditions like fever can reduce hunger temporarily.

Hormonal Pills & Steroids: Why Avoid Them?

• They disrupt the body’s natural balance.
• They slow down weight loss progress.

The Role of Sleep in Weight Loss

• 8 hours of sleep is crucial.
• The body undergoes Autophagy (repair & recovery process) during sleep.
• Sleep hormone melatonin is released at night, making nighttime sleep essential.

Task for 3 Days

• Eat only fat and protein between 12 PM – 8 PM.
• Drink water and saltwater throughout the day.
• Optional Beverages: Black coffee, green tea, or black tea (before 2 PM).
• Take 2 tablespoons of coconut oil before meals.
• Consume supplements after meals.
• Eat only when truly hungry.

Homework

1. Weighing Scale Picture: Submit a photo of your weight.
2. Daily Meal Picture: Track and share your meals.
3. Daily Progress Report: Monitor changes and report findings.

Golden Statement:

“Not feeling hungry does not mean you are starving. If you didn’t eat for a day because you weren’t hungry, it means your body didn’t require food.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I eat fruits on this diet?

No, fruits contain carbohydrates, which can trigger cravings and hinder hunger regulation.

2. What happens if I feel weak while following this diet?

Ensure you are consuming enough fats and proteins. Also, increase saltwater intake if experiencing dizziness or cramps.

3. Can I drink milk?

Yes, you can drink milk because it contains first-class proteins that are beneficial for the body.

4. How soon can I see weight loss results?

Weight loss varies per individual, but most people see significant changes within the first 2-4 weeks.

5. Can I exercise while on this diet?

Exercise does not directly cause weight loss; it mainly helps improve stamina. However, if you want to exercise, you can do so.
