The 999 Diet is more than just weight loss program; it’s about redefining your thoughts on the things you put into your body. We believe that if you want to truly lose weight, you have to rethink traditional eating and enable the natural needs of your body to take control. Throughout this diet, you’ll be freeing yourself from both mental and physical toxins as you become more aware of the quantities you eat and how it affects your weight, mood and health.
The “after 9” concept is based on the idea of eating the most calories early in the day and slowing tapering off in the 9 hours after waking up, and finally not eating anything within 2 hours of bedtime. Studies have shown that you digest food differently later in the day and more of your calories will be stored as fat, putting a roadblock on your weight loss efforts.
