Fat Loss Diary. Resurrection.
At the end of August I decided I had to lose fat and began writing a fat loss diary. People enjoyed it, and it made me concentrate on the process and outcomes, which helped me lose weight. I focused on it and did better at it. That’s a rule of thumb I’ve never seen disproven.
Another rule I’ve never seen convincingly negated is that people are fat because they eat and drink too much. How much is too much? Any amount that makes you start gaining unnecessary fat. What’s unnecessary fat? For a normal, psychologically healthy person, it’s any amount exceeding what you want. By normal I mean people who are not on steroids, or other dangerous ‘performance-enhancing’ substances. By psychologically healthy I mean people who do not suffer from illnesses such as anorexia or body dysmorphia.
Because steroids help people get the sort of physique that can attract a lot of followers on social media, more and more people outside professional bodybuilding and other sports are using them. This is good news for the people who sell steroids but not for anybody else. The age at which bodybuilders have been dropping dead has steadily decreased since the 1990s. Hopefully, you are not suffering from an eating disorder and you are not injecting yourself with or ingesting harmful substances.
