Question from Reader

From: Zaina

Hello, I have been taking a teaspoon of honey for the past few months and i have amazingly lost 2 stones so far. I just wonder if it ok to contiue with my honey if i am pregnant.
I am so hooked on the honey... I have to give exceptions once in a blue moon! thank you.
Another thing... I have just downloaded the training recommnded with the diet...but it is so simple and would be more useful if there are illustrations on how to do these.
PS: diet alone doesnt and will never help anyone to lose weight and I did it all along side an hour aday excerising in a gym and I eat normal but less than I used to as in quantity and much healthier.
Thanks

Hello Zainab,
The consensus of medical opinion is the honey is safe during pregnancy.
Honey should not be given to an infant of under one year because some honey conntains botulism spores that a baby cannot deal with.
Older children and adults have no problem with these spores and a pregnant woman would likewise have no difficulty.
Thank you for the suggestion of illustrations.
We will certainly look at that.
You are correct that exercise helps to burn fat, but the real pay off is during recovery biology, during which more may be be used than during the exercise.
This is contrary to popular opinion but is easy to demonstrate.
During rest we burn 70% fat, during low level exercise it drops to 35%, during moderate exercise it drops to 20% and during intense exercise to 10%.
During sleep we should burn fats but if the liver is not fuelled prior to bed we release stress hormones froom the adrenal glands and thsese hormones do not burn fat.
They degrade muscle and bone.
This means that millions of people go to bed with a depleted liver, activate the adrenal glands and do not recover.
If you do not recover you do not burn fats.
Essentially this is the purpose of the book, to encourage people to optimise their recovery biology and recovery biology is fat burning biology.
