Modern Diets Don't work

Hello everyone lucky enough to be reading this! I'm writing this because I am fed up of all the fad diets that appear year in- year out, that don't help you keep the fat off for good!

Guess what else bothers me! The diet pills that are sold in huge quantities is the answer; many have adverse side effects as well. If there really was a magic pill to effectively lose fat and keep it off why do you think there is a growing obesity problem in both America and in the UK.

More and more is spent every year on these pointless pills and fad diets; more and more of these products appear every year; but ironically people like you are getting fatter than ever. The fact they don't work just means people will keep on searching for a solution while these companies bring out more products to strip you of your hard earned money!

Take a look at any of these diets that are advertised and see what they have in common: they all have titles like, lose 10 pounds in 10 days, lose 14 pounds in 3 weeks, and the list goes on, if you haven't seen these then I imagine your very new to the internet.

They play on peoples' desire for quick results and advocate doing all the wrong things.

The main focus of these diets is to eat very few calories, the end result being is you drop weight fast and you then believe that the diet has been a success!

The reasons why the diet has not been a success despite appearances

Lets say you did the “14 pounds in 3 weeks diet” and did actually lose the target amount of weight. What most people don't realise is that alot of the weight lost will not be quality; i.e. as much as 60% of the weight lost will not be fat.

Much of the lost weight will be from depletion of muscle tissue and water and your metabolism will have grinded to a halt! This is a result of millions of years of evolution, if the body had not evolved this way thousands of people would have died in times of famine back in the days when there were no supermarkets or food stores!

By cutting back the number of calories you are eating your body assumes that their is a famine, or great food shortage at the time and so changes accordingly in the following ways(it does not recognise the difference between a famine or diet!):

1. It begins to use your muscle tissue for energy due to a lack of another source. Muscle is very metabolically active(every pound of muscle uses 50 cals a day even when at rest) and in times of need it will be turned into glucose to keep your body fuelled.

This occurs for two reasons: your body wants to hang onto its fat stores for when food really becomes limited, and burning your muscle tissue will mean your body then requires less energy for the rest of the famine period, which is definetly in its best interest. For this reason many people have survived for weeks with very little or no food; its also why anorexics look so awful, their own body has eaten away all their muscle and they look positively unhealthy.

What this means for you, having lost 14 pounds on the “14 pounds in 3 Weeks diet”

If you have lost 14 pounds in 3 Weeks you will therefore almost certainly have lost 7-8 (maybe more)pounds of muscle. If you continue with low calories you may lose yet even more muscle putting your body in an even worse position.

The lack of muscle which is highly metabolically active means your body is burning calories at a highly reduced rate; your body will have stopped burning fat altogether by now, as it desperately hangs onto it for your survival. It is highly likely on returning to your original eating habits you will put all the weight back on.

This time though you will have less muscle, your body will burn fewer calories a day and you will in many circumstances end up fatter than when you started.

If you try another low calorie diet again you may end up in the vicious circle of yo yo dieting! Each time you go on the low calorie diet you will lose even more muscle and slow down your metabolism even more. After several years of this it will become impossible for you to lower your fat levels unless you work to increase your metabolism; your body has become very inefficient in burning calories; this is why often some people are alot fatter than others despite eating much less!

More effects on the body caused by the low calorie diet!

2. Your body will adapt to the low number of calories by altering the chemicals it produces to make sure you stay alive during the famine (whether real or just a diet!). Your body increases the amount of the fat storing enzyme and decreases the amount of the fat burning enzyme. It also decreases the amount of thyroid hormone which regulates your metabolism. All these changes mean that is not suprising that you will put weight on rapidly once you start your old eating habits.

3. Your body adapts to survive on fewer calories by slowing down the number of calories you burn every day (aka metabolism). This means that you will get to a point whereby to lose any more fat you will have to cut calories to a ridiculously low level.

Not only will this be almost impossible to maintain but further muscle loss and the decrease in metabolic rate will mean rapid weight gain is even more likely. Even if you are the most hardened dieter you will have to relapse back to higher calories and your body is very vulnerable for rapid weight gain when this occurs.

4. Low calorie diet at you to go and find something to eat.

What also happens is that after a long time of not eating- say you skipped lunch or had no dinner in the evening as often is the case when on a low calorie diet- you will immediately binge on the first thing you can find. This often is something unhealthy that is full of sugar and saturated fat.

Your body will immediately turn this into fat(and it will often contain alot of calories) as it has not had any energy for so long it will assume it will not receive anything for a long time after the meal. Your body really does act like it has a mind of its own!
