OVERVIEW
David Ludwig opens his book Always Hungry: Conquer Cravings, Retrain Your Fat Cells, and Lose Weight Permanently with testimonials from people who have taken part in his program during the pilot phase. The pilot phase of the program, Ludwig explains, was only 16 weeks long, while the program within the book is on a larger scale, taking months and becoming something that is more long term and permanent. Each person’s testimonial describes their thoughts, feelings and emotions during and after this 16 week trial program. They talk about how the program, not only helped in their diet and weight loss goals, but how it helped improve their lifestyles, and enhanced their way of living.
After this portion of the book, Ludwig describes why some diets tend to fail and why we struggle so much with losing weight and even gaining weight on a long term scale. While we may lose the weight, it tends to only be temporarily, and it usually comes back. Ludwig states there is a way to lose the weight and keep it off permanently. He describes how many diets and weight loss plans look to deprivation, calorie counting and excessive work outs in order to lose this weight, but it always falls short of what we truly need to keep the weight off. These weight loss plans, he says, do not approach the real reason we struggle with weight. They only scratch the surface issue rather than scratching the core cause of weight gain.
He proceeds to talk about what we need to do in order to change that way of thinking and how when we begin to change our thinking when it comes to diet and weight loss, it becomes easier to lose that extra weight. He discusses how our bodies react to foods whether it is in a positive or negative way, and how that is actually what creates access body weight rather than having too many calories, or even too few calories. The problem with calorie counting and working out to burn the calories, we tend to not get enough calories to our bodies and it thinks it is starving. That in turn makes us feel like we are hungry and are in dire need of food. He states that our bodies already have a natural weight loss and weight gain system, that when we deprive the body of food, that system gets thrown out of whack.
Ludwig presents the problem that falls in the idea that in order to lose weight, you need to eat less. When you eat less, you deprive your body of calories and nutrients it needs. It begins to feel like it is starving and then hordes the calories it does have which in turn results in fat cells not sharing these vital nutrients and us gaining weight. When you provide your body with good foods the body doesn’t become a hoarder and it becomes easier to lose weight as our body readjusts to maintain a healthy metabolism rate. He uses studies to show where his thoughts and ideas are stemming from as well as presents his own research and studies to show a foundation in his program, including an experiment that he conducted on himself before taking it to clinical trials.
