Don't Go on A DIET!!!

Hi guys,

Going on a diet is one of the worst ways to burn fats.

Reason? Look at the first 3 letters of DIET. D- I -E. The truth is almost everyone who goes on a diet, go off a diet after some time. And what is worst is research has showed that people who go on diet and lose weight subsequently gain more weight than before.

Ok, my definition of going on a diet is food deprivation, feeding your body 1000 calories or less a day.

For those who went on a diet beofre, you would probably experienced a point of time when you "just can't take it any more" You let loose and eat the the things that passed youforced yourself not to eat!

Besides not being able to take in psychologically, dieting also force your body into a starvation mode. What it means is that your body thinking that you are lacking food, will slow down the metabolism in your body and start to store fats.
"Very low calorie diet formulas are designed to be nutritionally adequate, but the body responds to this severe energy restriction as if the person were starving - conserving energy and preparing to regain weight at the first opportunity."

Another research-
In a New York Times survey of 31 men and women who had lost up to 194 lbs on liquid diets, 23 said they began to develop a strong fear of food, yet they experienced uncontrollable cravings and urges at the same time. One respondent said that after a binge that started with 7,000 calories in one day, he had regained 21 lbs in 15 days.

So remember dieting is not the way to go...

WAIT A MINUTE!!! Does that mean we should go and stuff our face with cakes, chocolates and everything that is so delicious and YUMMY!!!!?????

No NO NO!!! - the answer is in fact moderation and sutting down on food with higher fat contents.
Hey!! - is that asking us to go on a diet??

I don't like the word diet actually, i prefer to call it a nutrition plan. We should have the right nutrition planning to supplement our exercise regime.

Well, keep a look out for my other articles on nutrtion planning!
