If I was to ever realistically crossdress (panties! suspender belts! skirts! bras!!) or have a change to look hot with small breasts, I would like to look fit.
What's the deal?
Does estrogen make a person fat? If so, doesn't aromatase make them fat too?
If NBE increases estrogen, won't that make it worse?
Does DHT helt with weight loss?
I used to subscribe to the Calories In, Calories out hypothesis but no longer sure.
Keto was the only thing that made me lose weight, and I'm sure I was eating a lot more calories than I was burning.
I want to do keto again but am finding it harder to stay motivated.
Who wants to help me stay motivated?
Im sorry for not giving you a motivation boost or something like that. But what i can do, is give you a sure fire way to lose weight.
Take keto as an example. The reason why it works is really simple. You eat low calorie foods. And because you now eat low calorie foods, you can eat a lot more food before you reach a calorie surplus (you are more likely to have your stomach explode). So… Technically speaking, calories in, calories out, is how you lose weight. It’s not some hypothesis. You just need a diet and lifestyle that reduces the intake and increases the output. How you do this can be a where most people loses it. Since the research can be very overwhelming. You can do stuff like exercise, detox, fasting and many others to help you out. But its not the root cause. I believe the root cause is in the diet. Because you are what you eat (literally). So if you strip a healthy diet down to its roots, down to the basics of the basics, then there are only 2 things you need to do.
1. No seed/ vegetable oils. - No seed oils of any kind. No unrefined bullshit (Unrefined can be worse in some cases). There are some very special cases where this does not count, but use this as a general rule. Some of the special cases are olive oil, avocado oil and peanut oil. But this is something you should research yourself, since it’s way too much science involved as to why these are allowed.
2. No sugar. - No sugar means no sugar. If you think you can get away with no sugar coke, then you need to go back to school. I think you have a lot left to learn. Only exceptions to this rule are honey and fruits.
But keep in mind that most fruits are technically genetically modified to be more sweet and sugary. Which is why I don’t recommend too much of it. Honey is almost the same, but is the best way to help a sore throat. So only use it when you need it.
That’s it. If you do these two things, then you have reached very close to the threshold of the optimal diet. And I can now give you a 100% guarantee that you’ll lose a lot of fat. If not all of it.
But if this sounds easy to you, then think again. It took me more than a decade to have zero sugar in my diet. Its like your body cannot function without sugar. And I believe its the worst addiction to befall humanity. But if you manage to consistently avoid seed oils and sugar from this point on, or have been doing it for a long period of time already, then give yourself a big tap on the shoulder. You have fought or are fighting against something unimaginable to many. An addiction so strong that it has rooted itself deep down to your very bones. I know it’s not easy. But your body and children will thank you.
Now some additional tips to help you out with eating healthy.
- Big and few meals. You have to be crazy to eat 4 or 5 meals a day (at least in my opinion). Just like everything else, you need to rest. The stomach is not some kind of magic machine that turns food into energy. It cannot function properly if it never gets any downtime. Remember that your stomach is filled with acid. And that acid needs to stabilize itself between every single meal. So please try to be hungry once in a while. I really recommend 2 meals a day. And when i say two I mean it! No snacks in between. Just two. Not only do you give your stomach the time it needs to adjust itself, you also get the effects of fasting (to some degree) if you space the meals far apart fro each other.
- Once again, Big meals. You almost have to make big meals if you want to stay healthy. Unless you have a personal chef (a wife). No person can work for 8 hors and use almost 4 hours a day just to make some proper meals. So make them big. Stews are one of the best examples of this, as you can make a lot and store the rest in the fridge or freezer. You now have dinner for the next few days. So if you want to make pizza for example, make a lot, and freeze them down. Your time spent won’t be wasted.
Here’s a great video that can give you a little insight on the recent history of seed / vegetable oils

And here’s what i believe to be the best research so far on the effects of sugar on the human body. It may be old, but as they say, old but gold.
