THE SHOCK

I was lazy as fuck. Always binging on whatever I could get my hands on.
To be really honest, I never cared about what I was eating as long as I had
food on my plate and on top of that I was a vegetarian.

Fast forward to Summer 2018, I was feeling very lethargic & it continued
for days. I thought maybe it’s because I was skipping my breakfast that I
have no energy (which is bullshit). This continued for a couple of months
& I was really sick of it. As everyone else does, I too started googl’ing
why was it like that as if it wasn’t obvious that it’s my lifestyle.

And then it occurred to me, maybe, there's something wrong. Maybe I


should get my blood test done. So I got my blood tested, I was scared
TBH! Years of drinking alcohol might have fucked something up, I
thought. And I was right but the junk I was consuming was the culprit.

Hypothyroid (TSH - 13.9)


(Real cause of fatigue)

Gastroesophageal reflux disease


(Inner chest wall lining burning all the time)

Single digit Vitamin D


(which ideally should be more that 50 ng/ml, Cause #2 of fatigue)

Vitamin B12 deficiency

(Cause #3 of fatigue)

High levels of bad cholesterol


​(LDL and TC/HDL ratio)

High body fat %

The doctor just told me to eat home made food and reduce drinking
alcohol to once a week. I didn't know how big of a deal thyroid was until
the doctor told me that I'll have to be on a life-long medication. TAKE A
PILL EVERYDAY BEFORE I EVEN GET OUT OF MY BED? I was like what in
the fuck did I do so bad? This led me to take a deep plunge in vast sea of
nutrition …

We have 3 major macronutrients :

Carbohydrates
Proteins
Fats

Carbohydrates & fats provide energy for the body to function & protein
takes care of your muscles. The body can function without
carbohydrates but not without proteins & fats. So there must be
something in a diet consisting of only fat & protein, right?

All types of diets are a modified version of LCHF (Low Carb - High Fat -
Medium Protein) or HCLF (High Carb - Low Fat - Medium Protein) You
can lose weight on any diet but are you really getting healthy is the real
question. To figure out what healthy really is you will have to unlearn
everything you’ve learnt about nutrition. We’ve been lied about almost
everything related to nutrition and it goes deep into its roots. This article
will be too less of a place to uncover the lies so I advice you to get

onboard on my twitter. I’ll be writing more on this soon.

How did I hack my diet?


Losing body fat is 95% food & 5% exercise

Losing body fat is 95% food & 5% exercise. People won’t tell you this but
this is the real truth. You can, however, harden it for yourself by going the
longer route and losing motivation midway. As I dived deep into the
science of losing weight & fixing my conditions connecting 100’s of live
anecdotes & hypotheses I realised a couple of things.

Most people talk about calorie restriction as the main standard for losing
weight (which works) but there’s more to it. Calorie In Calorie Out isn’t a
gold standard and certainly not the only way to lose weight. Below are
the three ways anyone can lose weight.

3 different ways to lose weight

100 calories of sugar and 100 calories of fish, are they same? Certainly
not.

(Counting calories does work in losing weight only provided you do it the
right way, but that’s not what you will learn from me here!)

Your body has a metabolic pathway for proteins, fats, sugars, complex
carbohydrates. It does not have a metabolic pathway for calories. Your
body has strong satiety signal (feeling of being full) for fats and proteins,
but not for carbohydrates & definitely not when you combine
carbohydrates with fats (which is why we overeat them). You can only eat
up-to an extent when you’re having chicken/pork/fish but you can eat
unlimited Popcorn/Icecream.

And then I stumbled upon something which is like a key to unlock the
cells to absorb the energy from the food. When you eat anything, your
insulin gets spiked, once you’re done eating, it slowly goes down. If we
keep eating all the time, this insulin will keep getting spiked. The more
the insulin is spiked, the less the fat will burn. Simple. It’s really that
simple!

When you eat anything, your insulin gets spiked, once you’re done
eating, it slowly goes down. If we keep eating all the time, this insulin
will keep getting spiked. The more the insulin is spiked, the less the fat
will burn.

This is how you might damage your insulin hormone on a carb heavy diet

If you keep messing around with your insulin, it's gets fucked. Once it
gets fucked, there's no coming back (extremely difficult)

The body cannot use all of the energy at once (it will catch on fire if it
does), so it requires a system, food energy is stored in the form of
glucose (minimally) and body fat, (majority) and INSULIN is responsible
for all of that. If you keep snacking all the time, the body will never get to
burning fat and that extra food will be stored in the reserve as Body Fat.

So what you need to do is to stop spiking your insulin, control your insulin

at your whim.

The best way to go about losing fat is to minimise insulin spike cycle

What do you eat to control your insulin?

Just eat proteins & fats till you're full in a specific time-period, no
counting calories.

1. Restricting carbohydrates will keep your insulin low


2. Fasting will keep your insulin low

I just combined the power of two to burn fat faster.

I combined Dietary Restriction i.e. Minimum carbohydrate & Time


Restriction i.e. Limited eating window. However, I didn’t restrict on
the amount of food my body wanted to get done with its hunger.

Your body primarily uses carbohydrates (glucose) to make energy unless


it is made into tapping the other energy reserve. This is called Ketosis

https://www.hackyourdiet.xyz/ Strona 8 z 14
How I hacked my food & lost 20kgs in 60days 13.02.2020, 15:29

and it requires strict carbohydrate restriction (0-20g carbs depending on


the individual). If all this sounds new to you then I’m pretty sure you have
never tapped into fat to run your body. It’s a total different state of mind
when it’s running on fat instead of glucose. Fat is the real fuel your body
needs to use.

There are 3 main ways of getting into Ketosis :

1. By eating ketogenic food


2. By fasting
3. Extreme workout (Let’s not take this route)

Combine them & you’re a fat burning monster.

WHAT DID I EAT?

Week I : Substraction
Quit Sugar completely.
Boycotted everything that tastes sweet. (Anything sweet raises your
insulin levels. There are more than 60 different names of sugar)
Started cutting down on carbs & checked every item’s nutritional
value (Just google the name of product/vegetable/meat followed by
nutritional value)
Lessened dairy & got used to black coffee.
Switched from vegetable oils and used only ghee/coconut oil/butter

https://www.hackyourdiet.xyz/ Strona 9 z 14
How I hacked my food & lost 20kgs in 60days 13.02.2020, 15:29

(these oils are rich in Omega 3/6 ratio)

Week II : Adaptation

Introduced Intermittent Fasting & started cooking my own Keto


meals
Fasted for 16 hours everyday & ate only in an 8-hour window.
Stopped Snacking completely.
Included Fatty Meat cuts (Chicken thighs in place of chicken
breasts) and paired with eating sauté low carb vegetables.
Added supplementation of important Vitamins (B12, D3 with K2),
Magnesium & Omega 3
Replaced white salt with himalayan pink salt

Week III & IV : Optimising

Started doing longer fasts : 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours every


alternate day followed by a keto meal. Thing here is to stop your
body from adapting to a particular pattern.
Repeated everything above and kept changing timelines.
Added more of Red meat (Steak/ Mutton ribs) with low carb veggies.

Introduced 100 hours fasts followed by 48 hours of eating Keto

Monday - Friday fasting.


Saturday - Sunday feasting.

FUN FACT : In 1971, a 27-year-old man survived on water and

https://www.hackyourdiet.xyz/ Strona 10 z 14
How I hacked my food & lost 20kgs in 60days 13.02.2020, 15:29

supplements for 382 days and shrank from 456 to 180 pounds. I
don’t recommend more than a weeks fast.

Every-time I broke a fast I ensured I took Magnesium supplement


after my meal to avoid cramps in muscles.
Kept altering the number of hours I was fasting from 80 - 110

Increased the number of hours every week. (Don’t let your body get
comfortable with a particular number. Make sure you break a fast
with rich fats and proteins since you are in ketosis.)

2nd Month: Stabilising

Minimum 72 hour fasting followed by 1 day of feasting and 3 days of


OMAD (One meal a Day - keto only)
Always took salt with water when fasting, had black coffee how
much ever I could handle.
Most importantly, I trained my body and mind that I need to fix
myself now. Right now.
Added home workouts & sprints in a fasting state. Just 15 - 20
minutes of High Intensity workouts. (Working out is totally optional)
48-72 hr fasts, kept experimenting, by this time I saw so many
positive changes that Keto became a lifestyle.

This is how the food looked like


Chicken, Bacon, Eggs, Sausages, Veggies

And this is how I did it. Looks like a 5 minute read but it took me
countless studies, numerous books & hundreds of articles to get this
right!

It's been around 1 and a half years since I got my first blood tests done,
I've REVERSED my thyroid condition, Inflammation, Doubled my good
cholesterol (HDL), reduced my bad cholesterol, triglyceride levels,
Vitamin deficiencies & almost doubled my T levels. My body fat %
dropped significantly. I’ve gained quite a few kilos of muscle mass (since I
started lifting weights 4 months back) & the best part is my energy levels
are through the roof always. No mood swings.

Thinking of getting blood test done but not sure which ones? Read my
twitter thread

I don’t follow strict keto anymore but I stay in a strict Low Carb High Fat
diet & pull off a 3 day fast every month. It’s become a Lifestyle. I still go
into Ketosis every 2-3 months for two weeks at least. It’s important to
know how your body works, how it responds to certain foods with certain
macronutrients. This stuff is life changing, it truly is.

My goal is to help you and as many people as possible about nutrition


reality, about longevity, living with no regrets and feel connected to
yourself and the beautiful world around again.

A low carb can be extremely beneficial if you've any of these conditions


. I suggest you to try for atleast 2 months. You'll be amazed how just
restricting certain foods can do so much to your body.

If I can turn from a vegetarian to a hard-core meat eater & cure chronic
diseases, you can too. If you can't, see you on the other side, a little later
;)
