Today there are literally hundreds of diet programs on the market that promise quick weight loss.

Unfortunately, on the surface many of them appear to work!

During the first few weeks on these low-calories or restrictive diets you lose what seems to be a lot of weight. Then suddenly the weight loss stops.

If you’ve ever hit this dieter “plateau,” you know how frustrating it is. And to make matters worse, just as you stop losing weight you also start losing energy! You get tired and irritable. Your appetite increases. You’re all set up for a giant binge—probably the end of your diet. And with that come feelings of guilt and failure.

When you do give up your diet, your weight not only quickly goes back to its pre-diet level; it usually goes even higher. Now you panic. Thinking you’re being punished for going off your diet, you quickly fall victim to the next fad program that promises miraculous results.

Most people go on diets to lose weight quickly. But there are two types of weight loss, and dieting only takes care of the first one. To experience real weight loss, you must go off a diet and go on a true Fat-Loss program.

Our bodies are primitive mechanisms, set up to preserve our lives and our health under any condition. When you go on a low-calorie diet, your body interprets this as Starvation. So it quickly reacts by shedding mostly water and muscle tissue – the first kind of weight loss you experience.

But when it comes to shedding fat, you are in trouble! Your body is conserving fat to keep you alive. It is doing everything possible to prevent real fat loss – including slowing your metabolism down and increasing your appetite. Your own body becomes your own enemy when you go on a low-calorie diet.

Lets say for example, you can lose as much as 10 pounds on a diet, and as much as 5 of those pounds will be lean muscle tissue. Of course it looks great on your scale. But you have sabotaged your own ability to burn more fat, and lose more weight because fat can only be burned through lean muscle tissue. The more lean muscle tissue you lose, the less fat you can burn.

By reducing your amount of lean muscle tissue, diets makes it harder and harder for you to lose fat, and easier and easier for you to gain it. The very thing that appeals to people about low-calorie diets – quick weight loss – is what keeps them fat and makes them fatter! Low-calorie diets defeat their own purpose from the very beginning. All they do is stimulate a vicious cycle of weight loss and fat gain.

No matter how over weight you are now, you should choose a program that concentrates on building up lean muscle tissue so you can burn fat easier and faster. It also should be based on the principles of eating that encourage you body to shed excess fat-weight. And it takes into account what the latest studies show – that your mental attitude can actually affect your physical ability to get slim and stay slim. And it’s without dieting, deprivation, or strenuous exercise.

By that not only you’ll learn to burn fat and reach your ideal weight goal, but also you will be rewarded with better physical and emotional health in the process. Learning to live and eat accordingly to your body own natural rhythms will make an astonishing change in the way you feel.

It is good to consider all the facts before taking on a diet. Can you stick to a healthy eating plan?. As always, please consult with your doctor or physician before starting any diet, exercise or supplementation program.
