How many diets have you tried?
Have you tried surviving on cabbage soup or eating nothing
but protein? Most people have tried all sorts of elaborate
diets but end up either putting on more weight, having
extreme cravings or feeling so sick that they just
can’t continue.
Over the years of working in the health and fitness
industry, I’ve discovered what fat loss programmes
work through scientific research and trial and error. My
evolution diet I have found to be by far the most effective
and as you read on you will see why. For me, this
isn’t even a diet but a healthy eating plan that I
personally employ on a day to day basis.
Evolution explains why most diets fail
We only have to look back at our evolution to see why most
diets fail. Many diets rely on a starvation principle that
heavily limits the amount of calories you can consume on a
daily basis. This does cause weight loss short term by
muscle wastage and water loss but very little of this
weight is actual fat. These starvation diets actually cause
us to store fat for survival and in turn put on more weight
in the long term.
Heavy calorie reduction causes a severe reduction in leptin
(protein), which in turn signals a starvation response in
our body. This response reduces our metabolic rate and
increases our hunger. It is believed that this response
originates back to our ancestors and the “Hunter
Gather Days”, when food was often scarce. Our
body’s developed a way to conserve its most valuable
energy source, body fat, in order to survive longer.
So starvation or heavy calorie restricted diets are not the
answer. Not only do these diets cause you to put on more
fat in the long term (yo yo dieting) but they also slow
down your metabolism, the exact thing you need to increase
to burn more fat.
The best way to lose weight is to eat natural
Everyone is different and we all have different
requirements for vitamins, minerals and general nutrients;
a lot of this is determined by our genetics and cannot be
changed. However, we do all have one thing in common
– we evolved eating natural foods. Foods that we
picked from trees & bushes, dug out of the ground or
animals that we chased down and killed.
Although the world has evolved at a very rapid rate our
bodies have not. We are still uncomfortable sitting for
long periods of time, require regular exercise, get
headaches and eye problems using computers, suffer in
really over crowed areas etc.
Our body’s still crave and require the natural foods
we ate and drank many years ago. Processed foods, simple
sugars, contaminated water, and artificial stimulants are
still alien to our bodies. All of these unnatural products
(toxins) are stored in our fat cells while our body decides
what to do with them.
We are suffering from an internal anxiety as our body
stores toxin after toxin!
