Dieting and ExerciseWhen you want to lose weight and get rid of excess body fat with Weightloss77 or any other diet, you must be at least as active as you would normally be – here is why: During any effective weight loss diet your body will burn more calories than it receives through the food. The body will see the diet as a period with scarce food supply, and try to cope with the situation in the best possible way, which means making the energy reserves (in this case your overweight) last as long as possible. WHAT? That wasn’t what you wanted, but unfortunately the human “program” was not optimized for dieting, since just a few generations ago, no one would willfully try to starve themselves. So unless you know how to trick this “program”, here is what will happen: First your sugar reserves – the day to day energy buffer - will be used up (this will happen in any case). Then your body will try to lower it’s burn rate, by cutting down on the tissue that burns the most energy – you guessed right: your muscles. This is exactly what you don’t want to happen – not only will a reduced burn rate make your diet less effective, it will also make you gain weight even faster after the diet. The good news is, that you can actually trick your “program” by convincing your body, that all your muscles are needed for you to survive the “starving period”. The only way to do that, is to make sure that you are at least as active during your diet as you would normally be – preferably a little more active. Have you ever tried a seemingly effective diet, only to bounce back soon after, to an even higher weight than your original starting point? Now you know why – you were losing muscles instead of fat… Only once your body knows, that your muscles need to stay, it will start burning fat, which – I’m sure - was your original plan. But don’t give up from the start - remember that being more active does not necessarily mean, that you have to go out and run a marathon. Just think about moving up a little on the activity ladder: lying – sitting – standing – walking – running/exercising. If you are normally lying on the couch all day, a 30 minutes walk would be a huge improvement. |
