Low Calorie Diets are Not the Way to Go
Are you planning to follow a low calorie diet plan in order to lose weight fast? Before you do, read this article to find out why low calorie diet plans don't work.
I have heard from many individuals who have tried at one time or another, a popular low calorie diet plan for weeks, give 100% effort only to lose a couple of pounds. Can you imagine how upset, frustrated or defeated they became?
The prime reason low calorie diet plans are unsuccessful: your body becomes malnourished which makes you feel ill and tired. I myself tried a low calorie diet and found it difficult to accomplish my daily activities, let alone going to the gym.
The reason for this is their metabolic rate was too low. If you wish to lose weight successfully, you must keep a couple of things in mind.
1. Calories are not your enemies. Calories are not what you should avoid, they're required to supply your body with the necessary nutrition and energy. When your body gets enough food, it'll increase your metabolic rate, which will automatically result in weight loss!
The bad calories are those available in junk foods. So while you won't accumulate fat by eating 10 apples per day (even though a single apple contains almost 100 calories), you will surely get fat by eating 10 burgers!
You need to let go of empty calories foods (i.e. junk food) and hold on 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.
By following a low-calorie food diet, you do not have enough energy to build muscle. Instead you lose muscle and your body can not burn fat since your metabolism remains lower than normal. This is one of the reasons why low-calorie diets are not effective.
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! - 17273
