If you are planning to keep the weight off that you lose then fad diets are not the answer.
The one thing that is common of all fad diets is that they are all diets.
Bell-bottom pants are much like fad diets. For a few years these diets are popular and then they are out of style. After a period of time they return again and why is that, the weight gurus decide that a new group of people have not heard of this diet fad so let's try it on them. When you're trying to burn body fat, you really should avoid these diets like the plague.
In the first days of a fad diet some of you will lose a little weight. You most probably will lose some muscle at first when you are on one of these diets. Let me stress this, losing muscle can be counterproductive for your fat burning efforts and your overall health.
But the most discouraging part of fad diets is that nearly all people who use these diets will gain the weight back, and then even more. Has this happened to you?
I need to keep the pounds off forever, this is most important for me.
One reason is the fad diets often recommend focusing too much on one type of food, like non-carbohydrate foods (meat and dairy only) or only carbohydrate foods (fruits and vegetables only). This type of diet will lead to unhealthy eating habits.
Whenever you limit yourself in the variety of foods that you eat to one category then you are going to be depriving yourself of many essential vitamins and minerals. Your body requires certain vitamins and minerals and if you don't get these vitamins and minerals it will lead to ill health and more health problems.
Variety is not merely the spice of life, but a variety of nourishing foods and food groups is also necessary for good health.
Fad diets are too restrictive to be realistically followed, especially for a long period of time. They are not only unhealthy but these diets are also very difficult to stay on because they take away many of our favorite foods. A rigid limited diet will prevent you from losing weight over a long period of time.
If you want life long weight loss and weight stabilization the solution is behavioral changes in your eating habits.
The very idea of this kind of fad diet just will not work. Why? Diets are based in a temporary mindset. The fact that someone goes on a diet means they will have to come off of the diet. This is not permanent...why must I struggle to lose 15 pounds when I will gain it back and more weight when my diet is ended.
That might sound simple, but most people just don't realize. Many people look to diets as the answer for their weight and health problems. The diets create more problems and they are not the answer. People who diet frequently won't lose weight in the long term and more often than not they will gain more weight back than they lose.
To respond to the question how can I keep the weight off, it is important for you to seek life long fat burning, health and fitness in a lean body, you should take some advice from my mom, and probably your mom too.
I got the most valuable nutritional information ever from my mom. My mom was right, almost all the time. My mom didn't have any knowledge about fat burning, but she fed me very nutritious foods while I was a growing boy.
I ate my share of healthy vegetables, including green ones, my mom made sure of that. She didn't totally cut out sweets and fast foods, but she did not allow me to eat it too often or too much at once. I ate well balanced meals throughout the day.
Thank you, Mom! Mom's diet was really quite sound, and I've found that heeding some of this advice in the pursuit of maximum fat burning and a lean healthy body for the rest of your life is a smart way to go.
You see your body naturally craves foods rich in nutrients, (antioxidants, phyto nutrients (plant), fiber, vitamins, minerals, etc.) When you eat most of your meals from foods rich in important nutrients, your body will be satisfied and overeating will no longer be much of a concern.
As a result of eating nourishing foods you will go into a fat burning phase as a natural result of giving your body what it thrives on and needs to be healthy. Because you are giving your body what it needs to be healthy you will be promoting natural alkalinity in your body and this will reduce your risk of disease.
When you find that you are eating and eating and never seem satisfied then recognize that this is your body telling you that you are not getting the nutrients that your body needs. Foods lacking in nutrients like, fast foods, fatty foods, sugary foods, etc. This means you will be taking in too many calories.
Eating too many calories means you will continue to gain weight, get fatter and be more prone to developing diseases related to being overweight. Your body will have an acidic environment, which is an further risk of disease when you gain weight and fat. You just will not burn fat under these conditions.
Nutrition to control your weight, fitness, and health all work together for your benefit. My Fat Burning Furnace students have changed their lives permanently, by simply altering what they put in their bodies and you can do it to.
Focus on foods rich in nutrients. Next, I will define a plan that will aid you in transitioning from where you are now to where you want to be. One where your body seemingly burns fat 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
One of the essential keys to healthy eating is to eat a variety of foods from all of the food groups regularly and consistently.
