To Lose Weight

To Lose Weight
Many people using various diets and weight loss programs
find they just cannot lose weight. In many instances it's
not because of lack of effort on their part that they have
failed to get the desired results, but more likely that the
diets were not targeting the cause of their being
overweight.

Many diets leave you feeling hungry throughout the day and
this is not how your body was designed to function. If your
food is giving you sufficient nutrients to meet your energy
requirements, then you shouldn't feel hungry. Any diet,
then, that keeps you in a state of hunger is destined to
fail as you will find it too difficult to maintain.

In an effort to lose weight, don't just assume, for
example, that you can control your weight simply by eating
natural products only. Some of these products act only as
diuretics, causing a temporary loss of water and give you a
false impression that you are losing weight quickly.

The best natural products to eat each day are fresh fruit
and vegetables. You can feel assured while eating these
that you will have an abundance of the necessary vitamins
and minerals to enable your body to function properly.

Maintaining muscle mass while on a weight loss program is
one of the essential aspects you will need to concentrate
on as this will assist in keeping your fat percentage down.
Ultra low diets, for example, need to be avoided as the
body will react by eating into its own muscle tissue as a
defense mechanism.

You only need look at some of the slim fashion models who
exhibit high body fat levels in proportion to their
stature. This is because they have done little exercise or
resistance training to maintain muscle mass levels, coupled
with the likelihood of them being on a low quality diet.

These models would do well to add exercise and resistance
training to their daily routine. They would still be able
to retain their slim figures, but their percentage of body
fat would be lower and they would look better toned.

Conventional dieting, though, just doesn't work as far as
permanent weight loss is concerned. Yo-yo dieting in
particular can have a detrimental effect on your body,
causing your metabolism to change and you will find a
greater reduction in calories is needed to maintain your
new weight.

The most effective way to lose weight safely and
permanently is to adopt a natural eating style, a style
that is readily available. There is no starving involved,
you eat 4 meals each day, you have an unlimited number of
foods to choose from at any single meal, you never feel
hungry.

So, how do you lose weight with this program? The principle
of "shifting calories" is involved with the foods you eat
at each meal, like proteins and carbs, in accordance with a
particular schedule. Your four daily meals are spread out
as evenly as possible so that fewer calories are consumed
at each meal. This eating style enables you to burn fat
efficiently and you lose weight. It's possible to lose 9
pounds in 11 days with the shifting calories method of
eating.
