My typical daily food and exercise pattern:
Staple food from Monday to Friday: 700 grams of cake made by 350 gram day corn meal.
Staple food for Saturday and Sunday: 2 lbs of fresh corns or sweet potato.
Broth: made by 1 lb of grounded beef everyday (may vary).
Vegetable: 1 lb to 2 lbs of carrots, potato, etc.
Fruits (not juice): 3 lbs (typical: 2 bananas, 4 large apples, may vary season by season).
Weekend meat: 50 grams weekly (made in general way, not broth, such as fish or chicken).
Major exercise: climb 40 levels of stairs (not 40 steps), 4 to 5 times each week.
I counted the amount of calories of my daily intake, it’s abound 140 to 170% of my daily consumption (exercise considered). My wife takes the pattern too, major differences of her plan from mine: 300 grams of staple foods; 0.5 to 1 lb of vegetables, 4 lbs of fruits, 200 grams of weekend meat, less exercise. Her weight loss effect is worse than mine. But her weight reduced about 10% anyway. I’m not sure what the root causes of the difference of weight loss effect are.
Is it possible? You are highly in doubt. Right, we were expecting weight increasing, our major purpose is to cure heart pain. Result? Heart pain is gone from both of us, with many other health improvements, while body weight reduces.
What is the reason? Mr. Liu’s explanation is: “the cells of the staple foods suggested by the pattern, such as corn, have harder shell, which can’t be easily destroyed by machine while making corn meal and can’t be destroyed by our digestive system. The cells of rice and wheat have thin and weaker shell, and can be destroyed easier by machine or our digestive system. The nutrients in the hard shell can’t be absorbed in high rate, because the carbohydrates in the shell can’t get out easily, while the nutrients in rice and wheat foods can in high rate.” And there is no fat in broth and the vegetable dishes, so losing fat is easier.
Is his explanation scientific? I’m not sure. Again, I don’t see strong scientific support on either side (positive or negative). You can investigate and judge yourself.
But what I know is that the cake made by corn meal tastes dry, and when you eat, you can feel coarse. Does it mean it’s harder for corn meal to absorb water? I’m still not sure. If it is, is then the digestive juice harder to get into the shell of corn cells? You judge.
Warning: please do not follow this pattern blindly, since some DOs and DONTs have not been proved correct yet, while not proved incorrect either. My suggestion for you is to try other plans first. Put this plan at the last one in your alternative list. I’ll post Mr. Liu’s explanations and my thoughts here, with other details of the pattern. You have to make your own judgment before taking it. One thing I can tell is: the plan is safe. We’ve followed it for more that 3 years. We have not found any, tiny negative side impact yet. I’ll report here if any negative. Oh, ya, one thing negative. I can’t wear my good brand pants bought before. And it’s hard for me to buy one now. In adult department, my size usually is not there; while I can’t find proper style in teens department. Pay attention to this impact.
