**Because we’ve been believing the biggest lie of our time — “Eating fat makes you fat.”**
It was the year **2006.**
A well-known doctor from Tripura had written a book that came into my hands.
I don’t remember the exact title now — perhaps *“Lean Body, Fat Body”* or something similar —
but I clearly remember one line from it:
> “Fat is a dangerous thing — painful when present, and painful when absent.”
According to him, the only way to stay fit was to avoid oily foods.
At that time, I was desperate to lose weight.
No matter what I tried, the numbers on the scale wouldn’t move.
So when I read that book, I thought —
*“Ah! Finally, I’ve found the secret key!”*
And so began my mission: a complete **No-Oil Diet.**
I stopped eating everything that contained fat.
I’m a disciplined person — once I decide something, I give it everything.
For three whole months, I didn’t even look at a drop of oil.
But when I finally stepped on the weighing scale, I was shocked —
My weight hadn’t gone down at all!
Instead, my skin had dried up, my nails had become brittle,
and my hair started falling out like never before.
It felt as if my body was whispering to me —
> “You’re walking the wrong path.”
I had no choice but to stop that “no-oil” experiment.
At that time, I didn’t know the truth —
that fat was never the real culprit; **carbohydrates were.**
—
Today, after many years of study and experience, I can say with certainty —
**“Eating fat doesn’t make you fat.”**
Fat is not your enemy. It’s your essential ally.
Your brain, hormones, skin, and heart — all thrive on healthy fats.
It’s not the oils that make you obese —
it’s the excess *rice, bread, sugar, and processed food* that trigger insulin spikes,
and that insulin quietly stores all the extra energy as body fat.
In short —
**It’s not fat that makes us fat.
It’s our wrong thinking that does.**
—
And this wrong thinking has been passed down through generations.
Many still believe that *“without fish, meat, or eggs, you can’t stay healthy.”*
Even some doctors reinforce this false narrative.
But **nature is never that cruel.**
The human body is a self-healing design —
if you feed it with the right balance of **natural fats, proteins, and whole foods,**
it knows exactly how to maintain its own health.
If the root cause of a disease is misunderstood,
no amount of medicine can ever truly heal the body.
Real healing begins only when we recognize the truth.
So now, I tell everyone —
> “Don’t fear food.
> Fear misinformation.”
—
From my own journey, I’ve learned —
**Fat is not the villain;
excess carbohydrates are the real reason your body stores fat.**
You don’t lose weight by avoiding oil —
you lose it by **restoring your insulin rhythm**
and teaching your body to burn fat again.
Honestly, I feel grateful to that old doctor —
because his mistake led me to the truth.
And now, I’m sharing that truth with the world through my book —
so that no one ever walks the same wrong path I once did.
