Einstein Predicted My Weight Loss
We all know that Einstein said that energy and mass are related and one
can be converted to the other. His insight lead to the creation of the
infamous atomic bomb and the development of
nuclear power for peaceful purposes. And his insight also lead to my
weight loss without diets that I did not
like. It can lead to yours.
Few of us ever compare the masses hanging around our beltlines and
buttocks to nuclear power. We know that the fat in our bodies is a
ticking time bomb and will soon result in some
medical disaster for us. But we don't think about it as a mass of
energy that will act according to Einstein's laws.
Like millions of others, my bookshelf is lined with books and articles
on diets. I call it the diets in diets out section. I tried this and
tried that with the end result that the roll
in the middle kept on going and growing.
And then along came Einstein. He said that your body is an energy
machine. It has a storage bin, an energy converter and a refuse system.
It turns mass (whatever you put into your stomach, in this article
called "potatoes") into energy. You eat "potatoes". They are
mass. Your body converts part of the "potatoes"
into the energy that allows you to walk, talk and function as a human
being. It stores some, and it rejects the
refuse.
The more you walk and talk, the more energy you need. Your body, the
energy machine, does not really care from where it gets the energy. It
just needs energy.
Now your body is real smart. It knows that it has to protect itself
from times of energy shortages. So it stores your "potatoes". And it
just happens to store your "potatoes" around
your middle or on your bottom until you need them. And being a nice
guy, you help your body by eating a lot of extra
"potatoes". But then, of course, your middle or bottom keeps growing.
The process of changing the size of your storage bin (be it in the
middle or at the bottom) is simple. You put "potatoes" in the storage
bin. You use them for energy. As long as you
keep putting more "potatoes" in the storage bin than you take out to
use as energy, your storage bin gets bigger.
When you take more out than you put in, your storage bin gets smaller.
Some "potatoes" have more energy than others. Some are better for you
than others. Some have bad things in them that make your body wear out
and fall apart. Some have bad things that
make my your body, the energy machine, work less efficiently and
shorten your life. And some have good things that
make everything better and help you live longer. You read about this on
all sorts of warning labels and so on.
But regardless of what you put into your storage bin, they are all
"potatoes" that are converted to energy.
So I listen to Einstein. If I get rid of energy faster than I take it
in, my storage bin goes down. It does not matter what kind of
"potatoes" that I eat, it is just a matter of using
energy faster than I take it in. If I put more into my storage bin than
I take out, my storage bin gets bigger.
So, according to Einstein, to lose weight, just use more energy than
you put into your storage bin. You can do that in many ways, but the
end result has to be the same.
It does not matter what time of the day, how fast or what kind of
energy it is. Less energy means less size.
So, according to Einstein, how do you do it?
If you are 30 pounds overweight, it means that you have to use 30
pounds of energy more than you take in. It all comes down to getting
rid of an extra 30 pounds of energy from your
storage bin.
You do that by doing two things.
Change the type "potatoes" that you eat. If you change from fast food
hamburger type "potatoes" to fruit type "potatoes", you put less energy
into your storage bin. And the size of
your storage bin goes down. (See information about checking how much
energy you put in. http://www.masterpage.com.pl/calorie_counter
)
Increase the amount of energy that you use. The more energy that you
use the more your storage bin goes down.
Increasing energy use is easy. The easiest is to walk or use an
elliptical trainer exercise machine. Walking is easiest. But elliptical
exercise machines do have some advantages
because they can be used year round and in the privacy of your home or
office. (See information about using them at
http://www.masterpage.com.pl/outlook/elliptical_trainer_machine
)
You can do one or both of the above. Nothing says that you can't eat
what you want. Nothing says that you have to eat things that you just
don't like. All that you have to do to lose
weight is to put less energy into your storage bin than you use. Eat
what you want and when you want. But keep the
amount in less than or equal to the amount out.
So whenever you eat, remember Einstein's famous formula, Calories =My
Weight Squared, and change the amount of energy you are putting in and
increase the amount of energy that you
are taking out.

pounds of energy more than you take in.
