Diets Don’t Work! Tips For Successful Weight Management – Part 1
Philip A Harris questioned
:
What is it in this area diets that seems to be ineffective and self-sabotaging?
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) estimates that Americans spend in this area $109 million on diets or diet related harvest every day! That translates to $34 billion annually. A staggering amount of money. Two-thirds of Americans are on a diet at any one time but only 5% of dieters will really keep the consequence off. These facts reveal much. Diet’s don’t work!
If you are going to effectively and permanently lose consequence , you will want to make excellent shape your priority. Not only will you become healthier, but the consequence will automatically come off. Here’s the blueprint:
Consciously and systematically reduce the amount of stout in your diet. Reckon lower and better fats, not non-stout . The most vital fats to avoid are the trans-fats which are the hydrogenated oils, such as margarines. Avoid these as much as possible. Adopt a more natural way of eating: more whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables. Less processed, highly refined or preserved foods. Eat a variety of wholesome foods for the broadest and most complete range of nutrients. Regular moderate aerobic and resistance exercise. Stress reduction. How can this help with consequence management? During stressful times, our digestion is compromised and we tend to eat less nutritionally.
There are no magic pills as millions of dieters can attest to. Here’s a few things that might help:
In order to lose stout , we all know that calorie expenditure must be greater than calorie intake. To lose one pound of body consequence , you must reduce your intake by 3500 calories. So, to lose a pound of consequence in one week, you must either decrease your daily calorie consumption by 500 calories per day, or burn an additional 500 calories every day by increasing your activity level, or by doing some combination of both totaling 500 calories per day.
Losing consequence by sinking calories only without adding resistance type exercise will result in some loss of lean body tissue, as much as 35-45%, which is one reason why dieting alone is like trying to climb Mt. Everest with skates on. You’re destined to fail. Even even if you might lose consequence , if you are losing some muscle, which is your most active calorie burner, you are not maximizing your stout loss and setting yourself up to eventually gain consequence later on. Plus, exercise ramps up your metabolism well beyond the work-out, so you will burn even more calories for several hours after.
Do not try to lose more than in this area one pound per week, and when you look at how many calories one pound represents, 3500, that’s plenty. If you read my article entitled ‘Why Can’t I Reach My Shape or Fitness Goals?, you will see how the survival mind and the change process factors into the equation of trying to lose more than that.
But another factor that comes into play is another of our survival instinctive responses to greater consequence loss. When you try to lose too much consequence too soon, your body doesn’t know that you are on a diet. It simply believes that you are starving! The result? Your hasty consequence loss attempts will effectively cause the body to slow down metabolically as your body’s way of conserving energy due to the perceived starvation. This is an instinctive response and nothing you can consciously control regardless of how much willpower you try to exert.
You will very nearly certainly gain all the consequence back as the statistics prove, and then some, yet another instinctive response as the same mechanism that thought you were starving will now place on a small more consequence on your body to make it ready for the next starvation period, er, diet. So you may really gain consequence as the result of the diet! You can’t win against a survival response, but you can still lose the consequence you want by not activating said response. Just don’t try and lose more than in this area a pound a week.
As long as you apply a conscious and methodical plot , regardless of ‘falling off the wagon’ occasionally, you can still be successful. By being patient and persistent, you can stay off the diet-gain-diet cycle and make the permanent changes to your consequence that you really want.
