Are You Still Trapped in the Calorie Myth? Take the Quiz.

Published · Updated

Why is it difficult to lose weight?
Written by 

This quiz is based on the article: Why Is It Hard to Lose Weight? The Truth About Insulin.

You have read the science.

  • Did you learn that the old “eat less, move more” advice is fundamentally flawed?
  • Have you fully grasped the “10 Idli” logic?
  • Do you know how to use the “School Period” method to finally unlock your fat stores?

Losing weight is not a test of your character, but this quiz is a test of your metabolic knowledge. I have put together this quick, 12-question quiz to see if you truly understand how your body works.

Take this quiz to:

  • Unlearn decades of bad diet advice.
  • Confirm you know exactly when to eat, not just what to eat.

Ready to see if you have mastered the Hormone Theory of weight loss?
