If you are planning to lose weight by following a low calorie diet plan you should hold fast until you have read this article that highlights why low calorie diet plans just don't work!
Having tried calorie controlled diets many people quit after realizing that they were losing very little weight, what they weren't aware of was that by eating low-calorie foods they were becoming malnourished. When the body becomes malnourished certain things begin to happen, like the metabolic rate slows down; this can cause you to feel sick and tired at times. You won't feel like exercising as you won't have enough energy for your day to day activities.
Losing weight successfully is easy as long as you keep a couple of things in mind.
1. Don't treat Calories as your enemy:
The body needs calories in order to function both for nutrition and energy and once the body has enough food the metabolic rate will increase which will result in losing weight.
Where most people get confused is with the type of calorie consumed. There are good calories and there are bad calories, those that are usually associated with junk foods are what we would class as being bad calories as they take fewer calories to digest than they actually contain and this results in weight gain if the excess isn't burned off.
There are foods that are classed as negative foods, these are foods that take a greater number of calories to digest than they contain, take an apple for example. An apple contains 100 calories yet it takes the body 150 calories to digest it, this results in a calorie deficit which then results in weight loss.
2. Weight training for muscle building:
Don't think that weight training is the domain solely of the body builder, it is not, weight training is used to build lean muscle. Lean muscle burns a lot of calories, so the more lean muscle you have the faster you can burn off weight. Protein rich foods help build lean muscle not only that, they also act as a natural appetite supressant making you feel less hungry and therefore eat less.
Low calorie foods don't allow the body to build muscle and will actually result in muscle loss. The less muscle a body has the lower the metabolic rate and the lower the metabolic rate the less fat is burned, so there is the reson why low calorie foods do not work.
In fact low calorie diets often mislead people into believing the weight that is lost, which won't be much, is fat loss when in fact it will be water and muscle loss.
Bottom line: You will not lose any fat, with a low calorie diet!
