You might be a man or a woman, you might be fat or in process of reducing it, you might have a great diet plan, you may be working with the best in the world. But this is a relatively new program I read about by a weight loss, fitness expert who also is a nutritionist. One of his e-books was "What are the 6 Biggest Secrets Of weight Loss?" This was a very unique book. I am going to let out only one of those six. I mean I bought the book so I wouldn't want to give away such a secret for free. I can afford to be a bit selfish here. You can also get the secrets and SO MUCH more later on. First let me tell you what I read. So let is begin with that.
Let me first ask you, have you ever celebrated the fact of being hungry and starved for the whole day? If not you, have you seen any one else? Do you consider your diet plan to be on track if you are just merely eating a half bagel and you lunch is a cup of salad greens? Well if you have been thinking this is the Mantra to actually lose your weight, you are RIGHT. Yes, you are, only you are losing weight in a non-healthy manner. Which these days many top nutritionists refuse to follow. But it is so true that what we see and hear, we tend to believe it. We see that the media and the Internet and non informative people always tell us that lesser is better. According to these, the lesser that goes into that mouth, the more fat will melt around your stomach. 12 hundred calories is better than 16, and a simple 1000 even better. But you will now be shocked to know that this is all just BOGUS. The truth is completely opposite to this "lesser food, more weight loss" strategy. That strategy is completely opposite to HOW OUR BODY WORKS. To understand what I am trying to say, I'll make it easy for you. What is the most important thing for a body? It is to stay alive. So now when you keep your body away from food for long hours, your body starts to get into a starvation mode, this is its defense mechanism. This is the way YOU BODY is protecting you from LACK of food.
I am not sure, but according to me many of you might have heard or read about the "starvation mode". If not you are here and are reading it. Even those who have read or heard about it before can be here as not many might have actually understood the concept. So allow me to explain. Now when you begin to curb the intake of food, especially when you restrict heavily the intake of calories, your body starts to send hormonal signs ordering the body to decrease metabolism, preserve fat, and increase appetite. This you might say is the perfect scenario for a dieter who is trying his best to lose weight? Yes I so believed too. Now in these processes, one of the major player is the hormone leptin. When calories are cut down heavily, leptin levels plummet, sending signs to the brain that you are not eating enough food. Now once this happens, all the other things we saw before (decreased metabolism, protecting fat, increase appetite) occur as a chain of reactions.
At this point of time, weight or fat loss becomes like a battle. This is frankly the only reason why so many people fail at the whole dieting for fat loss. So now this is a problem. Now this can be a problem you are facing too. So how do you go about it? What do you do?
Your answer is that you have to create a moderate caloric deficit through both diet and exercise, enough to have you losing fat at a constant, steady rate, but not severe that it triggers your body's starvation protecting mechanism. If you want some practical techniques and recommendation from a famous nutritionist for this problem, they are
Never skip any means! Ever! Breakfast is a MUST.
Be careful about your calorie intake. Do not take highly caloric deficit neither very low caloric deficit, you should follow moderate caloric deficit (not more than 500 calories below your daily maintenance intake).
Eat more, lose more is a counter-intuitive concept, but one that will save you a lot of dietary frustration when you follow it, this is from the book and the author is most recommended nutritionist is USA, and he guarantees it!
When you start following this new Mantra of weight loss, please do let me know the differences in your weight loss. This is because I am sure it is going to show you complete results and you will lose more weight in lesser time. So do let me know.
Thank you for reading...
