The other problem that can occur with fast weight lose, crash, or low energy
dieting, is that they can slow down your body’s metabolism. This means, if you don't eat
enough food, the human body has this built-in ancient survival instinct that takes over, and
your body automatically enters "Starvation Mode". In "Starvation Mode", your metabolic rate
will slow down to conserve your body’s energy, and this slowing down then makes it even
harder for you to lose weight. In short, you either end up burning less fat, or your body
goes into starvation mode, and weight loss on
the smallest of portions
may seem near impossible.
Another point to consider
with fast weight lose,
is that your body may lose muscle when you use a crash or low energy diet. Body muscle helps
to burn calories, the more muscle you have, the more calories you can burn.
So, a crash or low energy diet may end up giving you a double whammy, because, not only can you
suffer a drop in your body’s metabolic rate, you may also see a drop in your body muscle, and both
the speed of your metabolic clock and muscle mass, contribute to helping you to lose weight. So,
slowing down your metabolic rate or losing muscle mass may cause you to suffer a lower loss of
weight, which means it ends up self defeating.
Most dieters who rely on
these fast weight lose, easy, crash or low energy diets, nearly always
regain the weight they lost once they stop dieting, and quickly as well.
Losing weight in a safe and reliable way and
for the long term requires a longer term approach to the diet you use to get there. To put it
another way, you need a diet that will help you to learn new eating habits, where you eat more
meals of smaller portions, during the diet each meal should contains fewer calories than your body
is using. This will help to maintain your body muscle, which in turn helps your body to burn fat,
once you are at your ideal weight, you don’t drop the new eating habits, you just increase the
amounts you are eating of the new healthy foods, which will allow you to maintain a healthy weight
for the long term.
So, the point of the new diet is
fast weight lose,
but to, not only help you lose the excess weight, but it is also to retrain you to eat
healthily and to include some regular exercise, and together will help you to maintain a
healthier lifestyle.
