Quick healthy weight loss

A quick weight loss diet program is not always the best option. If your goals is to lose weight for a certain event and you don´t care if you can weight back after that, then sure you can use that program. But most people want to get rid of their fat permanently. Losing weight quickly and permanently do not match very well.

why quick weight loss diet programs don´t work

Diets are not a very good way to lose weight permanently, whether they are low.fat diets, low-carb diets, very low calorie diets or something else. A diet is only a temporary solution to your problem and to lose weight permanently you need a different approach.

Understanding the core principles of healthy lifestyle is the first step. Changing your middset from temporary diets to healthy lifestyle is necessary for long-term success. The quicker you try to lose weight, the harder it is for you to lose weight. Because your body can´t tell the difference between very low calorie diets and starvation.

So when you cut your calories very low with the idea of losing weight quickly, then your body gets less calories, so the body has to save energy. So first of all your metabolism slows down, you start losing muscle mass, your body starts to produce fat storing enzymes and hormones, food cravings increase and so on. All of these factors make staying on a diet very hard, so 95% of people regain the weight. The real secret is not to starve your body, but to burn the fat and feed the muscle.
