Are You too Busy Dieting to Lose Weight?
Now that the official end to summer has passed and you’re looking to get back
in the swing of things you’ve probably started to tighten up on your diet. Or if
you haven’t, it’s at least on your to-do list…
One thing I want to warn you about is crash diets.
These types of diets severely limit the amount of calories you consume each
day in an attempt to drops pounds quickly. Although this system may work in the
short term, it is only setting you up for failure in the very near future…
Why?
The reason you will plateau quickly on this type of calorie restricted diet is
because your body realizes that you have limited the amount of fuel you are
feeding it each day, so it in turn decides to lower its amount of energy
production.
Your body is protecting itself from starvation and in turn you’ll burn fewer
calories per day to conserve energy.
As you can see, this type of dieting is leading you directly down the yo-yo
dieting path…
You crash diet –> lose weight (lean muscle) –> stop dieting because your efforts
stop working since you’ve lowered your metabolic rate –> gain all the weight
back plus a little more due to your now slower metabolism.
Then you try it again a few weeks or months later and the same cycle repeats…
Sound familiar?
It’s a vicious pattern that is all too common among dieters following old,
outdated, and useless weight loss strategies that only set you up to fail.
The good news is that it doesn’t have to be that way.
You can revive your metabolism and lose all the weight you’ve ever wanted, but
you have to do it the smart way this time.
A simple formula I like to look at is to make sure that your daily caloric intake
never drops below your ideal body weight x 10. For instance, if you want to
weigh 148 lbs you shouldn’t be eating any less than 1,480 calories per day.
That’s definitely the lowest you should go so that you don’t sacrifice lean muscle
or drop your energy levels. Also, make sure you don’t start this low either…
Now, here’s what you need to do.
The only true way to losing weight permanently is to turn your body into an
efficient machine that burns fat while you’re working out or asleep in bed. To do
this you will need to incorporate a manageable and realistic exercise program,
healthy and nutrient-dense diet plan, as well as healthy lifestyle factors to
complete your well-rounded program.
It doesn’t have to be complicated in order to work, but you do need a plan.
You should realistically map out at least 3 workouts per week, plus long walks
or being active everyday. Your nutrition also has to be on point with when and
where your meals will be so that you can plan ahead of time what your options
are. Lastly, you should have a system that sets you up to be a weight loss
winner and not to let you down once again…
All this is very achievable and people just like you turn their luck around
everyday using these principles.
I wish you good luck and stay tuned for future articles on how to make living a
healthy lifestyle and creating your ideal body a reality!
