The Untold Science of Weight Loss

Dexter Nelson - Wedding (The Untold Science of Weight Loss)

See the guy on the left with the gut that’s blowing out a 48L suit? Yeah. That’s me, a few years ago at my sister’s wedding. That was the day that I became entirely disgusted with myself for letting my body get so badly out of shape.

At over 350 pounds, I was morbidly obese, and had stacking health problems, including chronic pain, sleep apnea, and persistent edema in my legs. My sleep was very poor and I’d wake up with raging headaches, drenched in cold sweats.

And I was so out of shape, that walking to the end of my driveway to get the mail and back left me out of breath.

That was the day, looking at myself, I knew with certainty, that if I didn’t do something to change my health and my life, that I would end up in an early grave. That same day my health journey began.

My Journey To The Science of Weight Loss

My new book, The Untold Science of Weight Loss is all about my health journey. It’s about my failures and successes, and ultimately how I was able to not only lose weight but also fix my health with just a few simple lifestyle changes. And just as important as the lessons learned, is the strategy I created called The Double-G Deplete Strategy, based on the science of biology.

I decided to become a student of biology, especially metabolism, because, like most people, I had experienced many failures and setbacks, including rebounding weight which was a problem. For me, it seemed like if I let up on my routine for more than a day or two, the weight I lost would come right back, and it would be even harder to lose it again.

Not only that, but when I did finally lose the weight and reach my target goal, none of my problems really went away, and I learned the hard way that just because you lose weight, it doesn’t mean that you’re necessarily healthier, and I wanted to get better!

So, I became a student of biology. I started reading books, (including old college textbooks), taking courses online, hopping on webinars, and talking to coaches and trainers. I really wanted to understand how the human body worked, especially metabolism.

See, my health journey up to that point felt like an uphill battle. I was fighting my body, and my body was winning, but I knew that if I could figure out how my body worked, then I could also figure out how to burn the fat, lose weight, and heal myself.

Now. See the guy on the right? Yeah. That’s me just a few weeks ago in front of my bathroom mirror, feeling pretty proud of myself, especially with my abs starting to pop.

At this point of my journey, I’m around 318 pounds, which doesn’t sound like a lot of weight loss from over 350 pound… but here’s the thing. Even though I was 318 pounds, I had lost over 72 pounds of fat! How is that possible?

Simple. I also gained 40 pounds of muscle! I had dropped down to 278 pounds through pure fat burn, and thanks to resistance and body weight training, I gained 40 pounds of muscle. I was more fit at 318 pounds than when I was at 278!

But more than being fit, I was also much healthier as I’ve seen my health problems reverse – no more edema, no more waking up with headaches and cold sweats, no more sleep apnea, and recently, no more chronic pain. Even the tinnitus in my ears are gone.

As for my endurance? I can consistently run 5k (3.2 miles) without even getting winded, and I’ve gone as far as 10 miles as I work towards being able to do my first half-marathon, which is 21.1k (13.1 miles).

And today, as a 47-year-old, I’m faster, stronger, have more endurance, and I’m more conditioned than I have been since I was in my 20s, and probably more so. I even look younger – and I accomplished this without working out for hours on end, without any strict or weird diets, without any memberships, or expensive medications. I workout no more than an hour a day, from home, and still eat all of my favorite foods.

How did I do it?

The Double-G Deplete Strategy

To be clear, none of this is by accident. I didn’t stumble unto some miracle cure, or magic pill, or some long lost secret held by gurus and ancient mystics. All I did was follow the science.

Remember earlier when I said, “… if I could figure out how my body worked, then I could also figure out how to burn the fat, lose weight, and heal myself“? That’s exactly what I did! And if I were to show you a chart of my fat loss, you’ll see nothing but a plummeting line of consistent fat loss.

In fact, here you go! What you’re about to see are two recent screenshots of my body composition logs spanning 12 months. Specifically my fat mass and body fat.

And the beautiful thing is that it’s permanent fat loss. I’ve gone as much as a week with minimal working out and my body was still burning fat. It’s like my body is in a permanent state of ketosis, except without the carb tricks.

What the Double-G Deplete Strategy does is condition your body to burn fat as your preferred fuel, and with a few simple tweaks to your lifestyle, and one tweak to how you exercise, you can start applying the science and seeing results too.

But before you can learn the strategy, you must first learn the science… and that’s why I wrote the book, The Untold Science of Weight Loss.

Currently, my book is on sale in digital download (PDF) for just $7 USD.

And when you purchase the download, you will get immediate access to two very special guides that I wrote.

  1. The Quality Sleep Guide, which teaches the strategy of how I retrained my body to sleep, (and how I cured my sleep apnea).
  2. The UVB Light Guide, which is guidance on how to leverage sunlight to help accelerate your fat burning.

The printed version and the audio book are coming soon, as are additional tools and resources to help you on your own health journey.
