Dieting Myth

Do you want to change your lifestyle? Do you feel sick of looking at yourself in front of the mirror? Do you hate all those flapping fats around the belly? But you don't know what to do about it? Try this!

There's a well known myth about dieting which is "Eat less, and you'll lose some weight". Some people take this advice seriously and try to cut back as much as they can. From 3x meals a day (breakfast-lunch-dinner) to 1x big meal a day(either lunch or dinner) hoping that they'll lose some weight. They also cut down the intake protein, carbs, and fats. They may also decide to exercise as well. This method of cutting food intake is a BIG MISTAKE!

Why? Now the body's very smart. When we don't eat enough protein as needed by our body, it'll start taking protein from our own body. Once the body starts robbing its own protein, it goes into starvation mode. And when the body's in starvation mode, the body resists losing weight and it holds onto fat. So this is why you can't lose weight only by cutting your food intake.

What is the solution then? The solution is to cut back and reduce the amount of carbohyrates and fat that we eat, but we don't cut back on the protein. Try to have the normal natural amount of protein that your body needs so that your body isn't forced into starvation mode where it resists losing weight.

Protein rich foods can be more satisfying than other foods because the protein keeps you full and more satisfied longer. Weight loss will occur when the body metabolizes fat for energy. Typically it burns glucose from carbohydrates, but when there isn't enough glucose in your bloodstream, your body will draws its attention to fat stores instead.
