The upshot is that it is much more difficult to just eat less, especially if what you're doing is eating primarily carbohydrates. The reason is interesting: Insulin tells your body not to burn fat. So if you're eating enough carbohydrates to stimulate a significant amount of insulin (as the volunteers did in the starvation experiment — around 1000 calories of carbs a day) it isn't enough fuel for your body, but it prevents your body from accessing your stores of fat, so you starve.

PhenQ is a dietary supplement and it’s therefore designed to promote and encourage weight loss. Wolfson Berg Ltd makes PhenQ. The company has been in the weight loss business for over 10 years. They’re based in the US but they also have factories in the UK. They are approved by the FDA.

Experts who are stubborn and refuse to consider other alternatives get left in the past.
