2 Reasons Why Low Calorie Diets Don't Work, and Never Will!

By Thong M. Dao

Before you start your low calorie diets, I would recommend you to stop and read this article. I hate seeing folks start a low calorie diet plan to lose weight fast, just to come to a conclusion that it does not work.

We have received a huge amount of reports from individuals who have tried many popular low calorie diet plans, for weeks and even months. Unfortunately the success they had was small, only a couple of pounds. Many individuals have gotten so aggravated with low calorie diets, that they stop trying to lose weight all together.

Unfortunately, they did not have a chance to read this article. If they had, they would have found out that low calorie diet plans make your body become malnourished. And if that's not bad enough, you will start to feel ill and tired all the time, sometimes unable to complete regular activities, let alone exercises.

Our unsuccessful low calorie diet is due to our metabolic rate becoming low. Here's two tips that will help you lose weight successfully.

1. Many people believe calories are the problem. That's not true. Calories are our friends, they supply our body with the necessary nutrition and energy. Enough nutrition helps increase our metabolism which leads to weight loss.

However junk foods, such as cookies, fried foods, or donuts are bad calories. While at your next cookout, I would recommend not to consume that entire double chocolate fudge cake, that will surely get you fat. Instead try the Jello or fresh fruit.

That's the basic difference. You need to avoid empty calories (i.e. junk foods) and embrace negative calorie foods, such as fruits and vegetables.

"Negative calories" doesn't indicate that there is no calories in those foods; it only indicates that in order to absorb themselves, they will require your body to burn more calories than what they provide. This caloric shortage will allow you to lose weight.

2. Muscle building is a must. Do you know that in order to maintain themselves, muscles burn a lot of your calories? This means the more lean muscles you have, the faster you will be able to lose weight.

Protein-rich foods can help you to build lean muscles along with regular exercise routine. Protein-rich foods have an additional advantage; you won't feel hungry too often, thus preventing overeating.

By following a low-calorie food diet, you do not have enough energy to build muscle. Instead you lose muscle and your body can not burn fat since your metabolism remains lower than normal. This is one of the reasons why low-calorie diets are not effective.

Most of these low calorie diets will only help you lose water and muscles. While you may believe that you have actually lost several dozens of pounds, you have not lost the single most important thing that is keeping you from becoming slim: FAT. Unless you lose fat, you can't be fit! - 17274
