Ori Hofmekler author of the Anti Estrogenic Diet explains the 3 main hidden weightloss obstacles that are keeping you overweight and unhealthy.
1. Wrong Meal Timing that works against the fact that humans are natural nocturnal eaters. According to Ori "our body is biologically preprogrammed to work around the circadian clock (i.e. active during the day and relaxing at night). Our inner clock is controlled by two antagonistic autonomic nervous system; the SNS, with its highly alert "fight or flight" state, responsible for action and reaction to stress during the day, and the PSNS, responsible for relaxation, digestion and sleep during the night. (See Fallacy #1.). For that matter our body digests and utilizes nutrients better at night while at rest, then during the highly stressful hours of the day. Furthermore, night is the time when growth hormone (GH) reaches a peak level. GH is known to be a potent muscle and bone builder and a fat burner. Late meals, if applied correctly could be most anabolic". Anti Estrogenic Diet Solution: Start eating your main meal at night when people are telling you not to eat. For maximum fatloss you should undereat during the day and overeat at night.
2. Endocrine Destructive Chemicals that disrupt the body's ability to regulate it's own weight and that are found in our food, water, and every day products. These chemicals accumulate over time in our fat cells and in the fat cells of the foods we eat. They then mimic the female hormone estrogen and in excess this wreaks havoc on the body and promotes fat gain but worst of all makes it virtually impossible to burn fat, specifically stubborn belly fat. Anti Estrogenic Diet Solution: Avoid foods containing hormones, pesticides, chemical additives, sugar alcohols, artificial sweeteners and fructose but most importantly start eating organic and start eating herbs and foods that help you remove toxins.
3. Wrong Food Combinations that cause weight gain even when eating healthy food. Ori explains that "there is a substantial amount of evidence to the fact that humans have primarily adapted to strive while rotating between different seasonal foods and thus different ratios of macronutrients. Furthermore, due to primal necessity to survive on different accessible food sources (i.e. vegetarian or animal food) humans were forces to cycle their diet and adapt to different ratios of protein/fat/carbs. There is no "one ratio that fits all". Anti Estrogenic Diet Solution: Eat foods that support your natural feeding cycle; raw fruits, raw veggies, and small amounts of proteins during the 20 hour undereating phase and all food groups in the right combination during the 4 hour overeating phase.
