Dr Katakol shared stage one of weight loss in his post. According to the neurosurgeon, in stage one, if someone is trying to control their weight, they should start with three important rules that will help them lead a healthy and happy lifestyle, in their best shape.
Step 1: Start simple, not with what you eat, but when you eat. Eat only when the sun shines. Sundown, hands down.
Step 2: Fix the number of meals you have in a day: one, two or three -- your choice. But no snacks in between.
Step 3: Do not change what you eat just yet. Just focus on maintaining the timings. Maintain the same meal timings every day for 21 days.
What happens when you follow these rules for 21 days?
According to the neurosurgeon, when you follow these rules for 21 continuous days, your brain will lock them in as a habit. Dr Katakol said, "These three rules train your brain and metabolism, not just your body. These are the rules for stage one."
