Fast weight Loss!

That's usually how they entice you in...

"Fast Weight Loss"...

"Rapid Weight Loss"...

There are numerous low calorie diets on the market...

They know you want fast results...

I liken it to get rich quick schemes...

It's pretty obvious in a nutshell the main principle of weight loss is "eat less, move more"...

Which is partially true, unless taken to the extreme...

And I just don't see how low calorie diets are sustainable in regards to metabolism or being able to consume the amount of calories...

When calories are lowered significantly, we don't just lose fat, we lose muscle and water which explains the quick loss...

"Quick weight loss, that's great!” I hear you cry"...

The thing is if you lose water and muscle the number of calories you burn per day decreases...

Meaning even on a low calorie plan at some point results grind to a halt as the decreasing metabolism closes the gap on calories in and calories out...

Most would find a low calorie plan unsustainable and this is where someone with a slowed metabolism piles the weight back on...

I have mentioned it, I like my food, I couldn't think of anything worse than a restrictive thin air, dust diet...

I wouldn’t be too keen on the side effects either, dry mouth (I’m not that good at public speaking, I remember during one it felt like my tongue had glued itself to the roof of my mouth) diarrhoea or constipation, headache, cramps, hair thinning and they are just short term ones...

It’s all starts getting similar to malnutrition, the body needs all these  different nutrients for different reasons, without them the body starts shutting down certain things...

It’s about a balanced plan to steadily lose and exercising helps especially if you are recruiting big muscle groups; conserving the muscle you have (difficult even if you are trying to be healthily lighter) is key for maintaining a fast metabolism...

And when you exercise depending on the intensity and metabolic effect even in the short term you are burning calories!

If you have done these in the past and you find yourself back to square one or are doing the right things but are tempted to speed it up...

Just stay on that path you know works, a sensible long term approach to healthy eating where you just aim to look at what you enjoy eating now and make step by step healthier changes...

Of course there maybe blips, just except you are human and keep doing the things to keep making progress...

You can do this.
