Low Calorie Diets are Not the Way to Go
It's highly important for you to read this article before starting any low calorie diet plan. This article will help you understand why low calorie diet plans do not work and never will.
I cannot tell you how many folks used to follow popular low calorie diet plans for a few weeks only to find out that they didn't lose much weight. As a result, they felt that weight loss is impossible and quit the diet program altogether!
Unfortunately, they did not have a chance to read this article. If they had, they would have found out that low calorie diet plans make your body become malnourished. And if that's not bad enough, you will start to feel ill and tired all the time, sometimes unable to complete regular activities, let alone exercises.
All these happen because your metabolic rate is low. If you want to lose weight successfully, keep these two things in mind:
1. Many people believe calories are the problem. That's not true. Calories are our friends, they supply our body with the necessary nutrition and energy. Enough nutrition helps increase our metabolism which leads to weight loss.
However junk foods, such as cookies, fried foods, or donuts are bad calories. While at your next cookout, I would recommend not to consume that entire double chocolate fudge cake, that will surely get you fat. Instead try the Jello or fresh fruit.
You have to stay away from empty calories foods (i.e. junk food) and stick to negative calories, like fruits and vegetables.
"Negative calories" doesn't mean they do not have calories; it only means our body will burn more calories to absorb these foods than what they actually provide. And burning more calories means weight loss.
2. You must build muscle. Are you aware that in order to maintain themselves, your muscles will burn a lot of your calories? In other words by building our muscle, we will get rid of unwanted weight more easily.
Protein-rich foods can help you to build lean muscles along with regular exercise routine. Protein-rich foods have an additional advantage; you won't feel hungry too often, thus preventing overeating.
When you eat low-calorie foods, you're not able to build muscles; instead you LOSE them. When your body doesn't have enough lean muscles, it can't burn fat since your metabolic rate remains at an abnormally low level. So that's one more reason why low calorie diets don't work.
Most low-calorie diets will only assist you to lose water and muscles. Unfortunately, you may think you have lost a lot of pounds, however you have not lost the most important of all: fat. If you can't lose fat, you can't get fit! - 17269
