0:09.9	Today I'm going to share with you groundbreaking new information about weight loss and fat loss.
0:15.9	Most people are completely unaware of why sustainable weight loss is so difficult.
0:22.3	In fact, it's the primary reason why, according to a meta-analysis published in the journal Obesity Reviews, 85% of all
0:29.5	conventional weight loss attempts fail long term. You see, when you undertake a conventional
0:35.6	plan of diet and exercise, cutting your calories
0:38.9	and exercising more, your biology adapts to those changes that you're making. In fact, one of the

1:57.1	day sometimes, late year. 367 days a year, access to every food, delicious delicacy that you can imagine.
2:07.4	We're swimming in conditions that are at war with how our genes and our cells have evolved.
