Fat Loss Tips.

People unfortunately are only interested in those weight loss methods, where progress is very quick. But quick weight loss is never permanent, if you can´t expect to lose weight extremely quickly and also expect to lose weight permanently. These two things do not match. Nobody seems to be interested in the fact, that the majority of people, never succeed with weight loss.

The side-effects of quick weight loss diet plans

- One of the top reasons why people just are never able to keep the weight off permanently, that they have lost with diets, is because the metabolism decreases. The less calories your body gets, the less calories it also burns. You may be on a very very strict diet and eat only 1200 calories, but eating this little, means your body also burns less calories. your metabolic rate can actually slow down by 20-30% or more. so if you cut your calories from 1800 to 1200, then although you may lose some weight at the start, but once your metabolisms slows down, then you hit a weight loss plateau, because your metabolic rate slowed down by around 30%.

- The second big side-effect of quick weight loss diet plans, is the loss of muscle mass. Your muscle mass is very expensive, meaning it takes a lot of calories to maintain it. When your calories are very low, like on a strict diet hoping to lose weight quickly, then you can lose up to 40% of muscle mass. The less you have muscle, the less calories your body has to burn.

- The third thing that happens to you, is that the fat storing enzymes in your body rapidly increase and fat burning enzymes rapidly decrease. All of this is done to prevent you from losing fat.

Because it is a survival mechanism. Your fat is nothing more than empty calories and calories are energy.

That is right, your body does not want you to lose fat. Why?

A diet is basically the same as starvation, so by holding on to the fat and getting rid of muscle, your body is trying to keep you alive longer. No matter what diet you are using, the same thing happens all the time.
