Extreme Diet
Why Fad Diets are not a Long Term Fat Loss Solution by Jacqueline Allyson
Hundreds of people fall for fad diets and fail to find the long term Weight Loss results for which they are striving.
These diet plans are so crazy, you need a will of steel just to keep on them. Then you end up with a yo-yo effect after you try these weight loss programs several times; you Lose Weight and then rebound.
When you rebound from starvation, you usually end up gaining more weight than you lost. It doesn’t seem to make sense and it can be extremely frustrating.
There are two truths that you really must swallow when you think a fad diet is the answer; and that is that (1) there is another way and (2) there is a better way.
The key to weight loss in the long run is not the latest crazy plan or diet pill, rather it is a lifestyle change. A lifestyle change is usually small but it is significant in order to lose weight permanently, i.e. keep it off forever and control your weight month to month, year to year.
There are different goals that people must conquor in order to switch their lifestyle habits. It’s best done in baby steps if You Want to achieve the body shape you’ve always wanted and be able to keep it.
The first of these goals is breaking down the three meals a day mentality.
The traditional meal pattern is breakfast, lunch and dinner each day. There is also a saying that “square meals make round people”!!!
The first error a person makes on a fad diet is reducing their calories too low. They do this by reducing their food intake to once or twice a day, skipping breakfast or lunch (or even both!)
This kind of extreme dieting can result in hormone changes and pushes the body into starvation type of metabolism; that means your Fat Burning slows to super low level to preserve energy and keep stored fat in place – the opposite of what you’re aiming for, right?!!!
Once you move off the fad diet, you will gain the weight you’d lost, and ALSO you’ll start gobbling down food like there’s no tomorrow and gain even more weight.
To some folk it may not make sense that increasing meal frequency to 5 – 6 a day would be logical. This is the key to shifting your metabolism to fat burning mode and not only Losing Weight, but making a lifestyle change you can keep up with.
There is research that shows that eating more meals each day can help you lose weight. Eating more frequent, mini-meals increases the thermic effect of food, or basically, the energy it takes your body to digest food. This is the basic of the Negative Calorie Diet.
Most certainly you will lose weight more slowly, but it will have longer lasting effects. It doesn’t mess up your hormones like fad diets can.
Eating 4-5 meals a day is a nutritional plan that may take some getting used to, but once you do, it’s possible to stick to this for lifetime fitness. Many people complain early on that they just do not have the time to eat more frequently.
If you give it a chance for a month or two, it will form a new habit that you’re likely to enjoy. It takes some patience and determination, but the payback is huge.
To begin this change in habit, take the quantity of food that you would normally consume over three meals, and for the following 2 weeks, spread it over 4-5 mini-meals. You will just be eating the same amount of food over a longer period of time.
You will be burning quite a few more calories just by keeping your metabolism stoked up and doing this consistently.
Make increased meal frequency part of your day-to-day routine. Once it becomes more normal, you will find that cutting calories and exercising is also far more beneficial to your weight loss results.
To your success!
