The Best Summer Foods To Eat If You Want To Lose Weight

Follow the plan: Eat. DNP had been familiar as an industrial chemical for a long time—it was used in fabric dyes, wood preservatives, photographic film developers, pesticides, and most usefully of all, as an explosive. Its fat-burning capacities had first been noted among French munitions workers during World War I, who absorbed the yellowish, powdery substance through their skin and lungs. It caused them sweat like crazy, and occasionally, they died—several pounds lighter. On a molecular level, DNP is a natural explosive: It blows up the pathways by which cells convert fat and carbohydrates into useful energy and instead generates excess heat, setting tiny internal fires that can raise the body's temperature to lethal levels. Side effects include cataracts, skin lesions, liver and heart problems, and an eerie yellow tinge to the eyes. Once it hit the market, people bought it by the truckload.

Grazing is a surprisingly good idea because it helps you avoid metabolic slowdown. "Your body will be tricked into thinking it's constantly eating, so it will never slow your metabolism down," explains Bauer. Aim for five small meals (200 to 500 calories) a day rather than three large ones. Also try not to go more than four hours without eating — if you eat breakfast at 7am, for example, have a snack at 10am, lunch at noon, another snack at 3pm and dinner at 7pm.

We performed an intention-to-treat analysis in which long-term weight loss for persons who withdrew from the study early (after at least 6 months of participation) was imputed on the basis of a rate of 0.3 kg per month of regained weight 34 and a rate of 0.3 cm per month of regained waist circumference after withdrawal (see Methods in the Supplementary Appendix ). Risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes were also analyzed according to the intention-to-treat principle, with zero change from baseline imputed for missing data. The study was powered to detect a 1.67-kg weight loss as an effect of the level of protein or fat in the diet over the 2-year period, assuming a withdrawal rate of 40%.
