Rev Up Your Metabolism For Rapid Weight Loss
Fasting one food group or the other is usually the core strategy many well-known diets use to cause rapid fat loss.
It is the popular thought that depriving your body of the foods it desires, sometimes to the extreme, is the best way to lose weight fast.
What you may not realize however, is that if you suddenly decrease the amount of calories that you need, you may only fool your body for a short period.
Longterm, your body won't try to do more with less, however.
No - your body doesn't think the way your mind does. It doesn't continue to burn calories as usual to keep helping you to reduce your weight faster.
Why? Your body is first and foremost concerned with keeping you alive and well. So it cuts back on it's engines - slows down your metabolism.
Your body figures - something is wrong here - you're not getting the food you need, maybe there's a famine or something disastrous happening. It figures that it needs to conserve energy and decides to become very stingy. It holds back on converting your body's energy stores (primarily fat) to energy.
So it switches gears resulting in slower fat burning which means you begin to lose weight at a much slower rate.
That means it's not a good idea to become "calorie-phobic" if you want to lose weight quickly.
Sure, avoid empty calories - like that glazed double chocolate donut that has absolutely no nutritional value.
What you should focus on instead is making sure you consume a daily caloric intake that is proportionate to your body size, type, and weight loss goals.
You may also be happy to know that that eating small healthy meals frequently throughout the day can be very good for boosting metabolism.
It'll help you to avoid the severe hunger pangs that typically result in fast (unhealthy) food binging.
Plus, if you keep eating during the day, eating throughout the day, you are constantly keeping your metabolism in motion.
It's kind of like having a generator run all the time; it will simply use more electricity than if you powered it on 3 times a day.
Note - we're not saying to eat junk all day long, but be very aware of what you eat throughout the day to keep your body revved up without exceeding your optimal daily caloric limits.
