The first thought that crosses many minds in the
quest to lose weight is to reduce the amount of food
they are eating. I am here to tell you that this could
be part of the solution, but not the best route there
is.

below a certain level could be dangerous and
hazardous to your health? I see you are
wondering, “How does someone safely lose
weight then?” Well, I can help you there. I have

First and foremost, beware of crash
diets. There is a misconception that
trimming down your calories in and
of itself can shed the excess. The
media has not helped this
misconception due to the various
low-calorie foods and drinks now
being advertised on TV and in
magazines. Most people do not
know there is a hidden danger to this
method.

Decreasing your calorie intake below required
levels will force the body to digest fats. On the
surface this may sound good, but this is not a
good thing. Did you know that burning fat takes
a lot of energy. In the body there isn't much
energy to facilitate the metabolism of fat. This
will make your body run at a slow pace which
will result in fatigue, sickness, and a weakened
immune system. Ouch!

Another minus of a low-calorie diet is the burning of
muscle. This is a result of the body overcompensating
which has a strange side effect. If you were to revert
back to your old eating habits you could gain back the
weight you had previously shed off! The composition
of this weight would mostly be fats. Did you know
that fats have more volume per mass than muscle?
This means that you end up having the same weight as
before plus more bulk. The rule of thumb is to lose
excess body fat only.

A way to remedy this
is to try eating smaller
meals are frequent
intervals. This will
keep your body happy
and keep your body
from storing the food
you are eating as fat.

Tips
Even though you are avoiding a “crash diet”, make sure
you do watch what you are eating. A tip here is to
maintain a variety within the foods you eat. This variety
ensures you are able to get the necessary nutrients from
your diet. You are probably wondering, “What types of
variety are you talking about?” Well, a couple of
recommendations are foods that are roasted, steamed, a
broiled (not fried). Also, make sure to include a good
amount of fiber in your diet. And, above all make sure
you are staying hydrated.

In conclusion, your diet is an important factor
on your journey to lose weight. However,
shortcuts such as “crash diets” can actually do
more hurt then good. There is a tried and true
path to getting in shape. Play by the rules,
avoid shortcuts and persevere. Take control of
your thoughts and see yourself positively. You
