Life is a batch process. Adjust your schedule to it.

6 By 6 Is the Fix. Yeah, It's That Simple.

Overview
6by6Living is the last course in the Nutrimatters curriculum. The details about how, what, and when to take action under 6by6Living are in the Nutrimatters 6by6Living Program section. Here, we'll pull all the other lessons together to summarize why there is a higher probability 6by6Living can help you avoid or reverse metabolic syndrome, obesity, and metabolic disease than other non-surgical or non-pharmaceutical programs. The 14 lessons provide a broad understanding of how to build a whole-system model of your body's nutrition systems to optimally deal with the daily complex nutrition choices presented in the real world. Then, after you build a model, it is customary to start testing it. Use the 6by6Living Program as your model testing plan.
The first signs of change are in the lesser symptoms of metabolic conditions, such as fatigue leading to becoming sedentary, brain fog, sore joints and muscles not related to exercise, and unusual hair and skin conditions. Typically, after 6 weeks, many of these are noticeably improved, particularly with the skin and hair and fatigue. Also, after 6 weeks, hunger begins to get more manageable, especially if you limit boredom and social eating. The brain fog lifts over the next few weeks, and the sore joints and muscles improve. If you're monitoring your bloodwork, you should see CRP, a measure of systemic inflammation, begin to improve.
If you deviate from the 6by6Living plan, the timeline resets. At first this is annoying, but soon it gives you the motivation to stick to the plan. You're likely to see a pound or two start coming off each month beginning in month three. That's not impressive compared with temporary weight loss programs, but you are less hungry and still eating well, and the weight loss will continue and really start to add up.
The best part is you'll understand why it is working and be able to personally experience the connection between action and result. If you can make 6 months of uninterrupted 6by6Living, you will likely never return to your old lifestyle. You will very likely reach the 2-to-3-year mark on 6by6Living and permanently avoid or reverse metabolic syndrome, obesity, and metabolic disease.
Actionable Knowledge
  • 6by6Living gets its name based on doing all your eating in one continuous 6-hour period, and that period should not be within 6 hours of falling asleep. But there is much more to 6by6Living. The "when" to eat is emphasized because it is such a new understanding and so important, not because the other insights of 6by6Living are any less critical.
  • Another significant new Nutrimatters finding is demonstrated by the fact that 14 lessons preceded this one because you have to take a whole-system approach. If you have completed all prior Nutrimatters courses, that took a lot of motivation. That motivation likely comes from your disappointing results with just about every other Program focusing on weight loss and metabolic conditions.
  • But it was likely never about you. Whether a Hail Mary effort from the most obvious of charlatans or the best science of the most prestigious institution, they likely failed you because both, and everything in between, are typically based on a fundamental flaw in applying the scientific method.
  • One-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) is also known as a trial-and-error approach and what scientists call a heuristic approach. Regardless of name, they only work if variables meet the expectations of the scientific method, which we now know they don't for nutrition. Progress avoiding and reversing metabolic syndrome, obesity, and metabolic disease requires you to understand, build, and permanently maintain a whole-system model of your body's nutrition systems. The 14 lessons help you build that model. 6by6Living is the plan to develop, test, and thrive using that model.

The impact of food changes by time of day.
The same food and calories eaten at different times of day have very different effects on the body. Like the hormones that affect sleep change from day to night, so do the hormones that affect digestion. As a result, foods eaten in the day are processed differently than those eaten at night.

Temporary vs. permanent changes everything.
It all begins with understanding the difference between permanent and temporary weight loss. They are totally different processes that must be addressed differently. Avoiding and reversing obesity and metabolic disease results from permanent change, not temporary change. Temporary change is about looks, permanent change is about life.
