There are so many different diets available nowadays that it's kind of difficult to even remember what they are called! If you are one of the many people who are trying to get rid of some pounds, you more than likely tried one of these diets. You probably went for the latest and most popular one, too, like the one advertised as allowing you to lose ten pounds in a week's time.
So, you eagerly “went on a diet” yet again, and really had high hopes, too. When you lost that first five pounds, you rejoiced! This was finally going to be the diet that worked for you! But, your happiness was short lived. It was almost impossible for you to stay on. Tired of being hungry, you succumbed to a good-sized meal. And another one.
Soon, that five pounds you lost came creeping back, bringing with it several pounds of friends. You end up weighing more than ever, and you're very discouraged. You just can't seem to stick to any diet. No matter which one of the popular diets you try, you just can't seem to make them work for you. Are you doing something wrong?
No, indeed! You are simply making the same mistake that many other people are guilty of making. You chose the wrong diet. Fad diets, which is the proper name for those new and popular diets advertised in the weekly tabloids, were never designed for lasting success. Even if you had been able to continue eating this way, you wouldn't have lost much weight at all, and you may have ended up very sick.
Your last diets did not work because they did not go along with the way your body is designed. These fad diets are unhealthy and practically impossible to stick to long term. When you try to get by on eating very little, your body naturally assumes it is starving. It is programmed to take care of itself if at all possible, so it takes what calories you are consuming and stores them away to burn for energy.
Meanwhile, your metabolism is getting involved, too. It slows down, because the way it works is based upon what you ate a couple of days before. When the metabolism slows down, your body gets ready to store whatever you eat as body fat.
When you “go off your diet” and start to eat normally again, your metabolism is stuck on that slow speed. You'll burn very little of the food you eat as energy. Instead, it will be turned into fat. That's how you gain weight so easily after trying a fad diet.
The only way you are going to be able to lose weight and keep it off is to adopt a healthy diet. Sensible eating of four meals a day will heal your metabolism and speed it up, as long as you practice Calorie Shifting. Rotate your calories every couple of days, and you will fool your metabolism into thinking it is not on a diet. This novel idea works like a charm!
You must approach dieting as a way of life, and not something you will “go off” when the spirit moves you. Changing your eating habits permanently will allow you to reach the size you want to be, and keep yourself healthy, too!
