Low Calorie, Starvation, Doesn't work for Weight Loss
People are taught that calories are the "enemy"; since consuming too many calories increases fat and weight,right? That's the reason that most overweight people "know" that the way to los fat quickly is to cut back on calories. This couldn't be more wrong!
But the reasoning goes like this: if a dieter is eating 3,000 calories per day and they decide to cut back to 1,500 calories per day – then obviously those extra 1,500 calories have to result in weight loss, right?
WRONG!.
When someone radically reduces calories (say from 3000 to 1500), what's really happening is that blood sugar changes will result in the systen naturally releasing insulin to compensate. This in turn lowers the metabolism and can lead to weight gain at the reduced calorie level. Learn how too much insulin relates directly to obesity.
Anyway, you decide to begin your “starvation diet” by skipping breakfast.
By the time lunchtime arrives you’re so hungry (and weak) that you feel absolutely miserable --- but yet you bravely tell yourself that you can handle this diet (because after all, you certainly don’t want to feel like a quitter). (All the while, your metabolis is slowing down.)
So you perhaps have a piece of fruit for lunch (or perhaps another small food item instead), since you're still convinced that you can starve yourself thinner. (The fructose will only increase your blood sugar level).
Finally, hours later when dinnertime arrives you’re so miserable and hungry that you have a major headache – and this is the moment when you finally begin to realize that starving yourself might not be such a good idea after all.
This is true because most of the weight lost on a starvation diet is water, and the extra insulin released helps to STORE fat.
Unaware of the basic relationship of simple sugars, insulin production and fat storage, you plug on and cut way back on calories -- so that you're now eating only 1,000 calories per day.
And your metabolism has slowed to a crawl.
Your body is actually like a big “engine” -- and the truth is that your body needs all 3 types of calories (protein, carbs, and fat) to some degree.
