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 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 number one reason why low-calorie diet plans don't work is: when you eat low-calorie foods, your body basically remains malnourished. You feel sick and tired at all times. Forget about exercises, you don't have enough energy to complete even your regular activities.
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!
Most individuals have a sweet tooth. I am sorry to inform you those junk foods are bad calories. Consuming junk food will surely add more fat to our body.
That's the basic difference. You need to avoid empty calories (i.e. junk foods) and embrace negative calorie foods, such as fruits and vegetables.
"Negative calories" doesn't indicate that there is no calories in those foods; it only indicates that in order to absorb themselves, they will require your body to burn more calories than what they provide. This caloric shortage will allow you to lose weight.
2. We must increase our muscle mass. With exercising we will be able to build more muscle. And more muscle means easier weight loss because muscle needs calories to maintain.
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 of these low calorie diets will only help you lose water and muscles. While you may believe that you have actually lost several dozens of pounds, you have not lost the single most important thing that is keeping you from becoming slim: FAT. Unless you lose fat, you can't be fit!
