Avoid Intense Diets to Lose Fat

By Joen Devenport

Most people are so surprised when they hear that you may lose more weight by eating more. It is true. Very low calorie dieting actually make you plumper in the long term. How is it feasible you say? Let me explain how it works.

To lose fat you need a deficit of calories. But the trouble with most intense diets is that the calorie shortage is too aggressive or too intense.

Sure you lose weight in the starting but finally your body conforms and you stop losing fat. If you cut your calories too much, with the idea of losing weight quickly, then your body gets into starvation mode.

When this happens your metabolic rate slacks down and you burn less fat. Your body thinks that there is no food accessible and to stop you from famishing to death it preserves your energy. Your energy is fat. Your body holds on to the fat to protect you. It is unfeasible to trick your body, it is just too strong.

Your body starts to release less and less fat burning enzymes and hormones. It happens as your body is trying to protect you.But one thing your body starts to increase is appetite hormones. which is why it is so tough to fight these cravings and eventually you surrender.

It is impossible to lose fats permanently with starving your body. These drop off fat quick diets never work no matter how hard you try out or no matter what people say. You don't have to starve your body to drop off fat. Here are a couple of tips how you may lose fat the appropriate way.

Decompress every day. Deep-belly breathing, meditation and muscle relaxation therapy (in which you tense and then relax your muscles, moving down the body from head to toes) are all tried and true ways to beat stress.
