Stop dieting!
1.
When you diet, you end up burning more muscle
then fat for fuel (by a ratio of 2 to 1)becuase
you are taking in very little. Muscle is there
to keep the metabolism going and burn calories.
This muscle loss slows down your system and
casues the calories you eat to turn into fat
rather then be burned off for energy.
2.
When you diet, this is a HUGE stress to the
body. It considers dieting a state of FAMINE
and an red alert goes off. It does this by lowering
the flame of metabolism: levels of T3(hormone
that raises metabolism). This will continue
to lower and lower, slowing your metabolism
until the correct amount of calories come in.
This is why most women gain weight after dieting.
When they start eating again, the body will
hold onto anything it can for fuel (storing
fat, glucose, etc) because of "its"
fear of dieting or famine again. This is the
greatest damage and takes time for your body
to feel safe again.
3.
When yo-yoing on a diet, you start to create
more lipogenic enzymes, which are the fat storing
enzymes in your body. The more diets you try,
the more these enzymes you create. Thus with
each new diet you try, the harder it is to loose
weight! At the same time, you decrease the number
of lipolytic enzymes, which are your fat burning
enzymes.
4.
Dieting causes an increase in cortisol and insulin,
which are fat storing hormones.
5.
Dieting puts up prison bars around you mentally
and emotionally telling you everything that
you cannot eat, It does nothing to teach you
how to live nutritionally after you end the
diet.
6.
You must get healthy to loose weight, not loose
weight to get healthy.
