Why Your Diet is Making You Fat

By Rico Kidd

Diets do not work. Learning to eat right is the best way to lose weight. When you diet, your metabolism slows down as it thinks you are starving. When your metabolism decreases, every calorie you consume burns slower and turns into fat storage.

When you go on a diet and reduce your caloric intake, your body thinks that you are starving. Even though you know your intentionally not eating, your body thinks differently and thinks you are unable to find enough food. This triggers your body to slow down its metabolic rate and store fat for future "fuel".

Eating less actually does not help your body. Some people who diet might gain weight, rather than lose weight. The reason is that once your metabolism has established itself in "starvation mode", you will burn fewer calories and store more body fat.

Eating more meals (and smaller portions) will actually make you lose more weight. The reason is that when you eat more meals, your brain thinks that food is abundant and will not trigger the survival mode effect. If your body is not in survival mode, you will burn calories faster and this will lead to weight loss.

Once you've trained your metabolism to burn calories quickly, even eating fatty foods once in a while will not be a problem. Since your metabolism burns calories faster, it will burn heavy fattening foods at a faster rate than it would if your body was in survival mode. Unlike diets, once your body's metabolism has increase, even slipping up once in awhile will not be a problem. - 17269
