The Problem With Low Calorie Diets

Simple math right: calories taken in-calories burned=guaranteed weight loss right? Well, until you get that pesky thing involved called the human body involved, it has all kinds of crazy survival skills programmed into it to help you well, not die. When you take in too few calories your body begins to hold onto fat in fear it will need to use it later for energy. Think of it like this, you have only a quarter tank of fuel in your car, will you drive all over town and just hope you don't run out, will you stop and gas up before driving all over, or will you stay at home because you can't afford to replace the fuel. Your body is you in this scenario and it can't create fuel on it's own, it needs new fuel added before it can get back to moving at a high velocity (metabolizing). You need to find your RDI meaning how many calories you should be taking in to maintain your weight. You can do that here: fatsecret.com.  If you want to shred fat, eat 500 calories below your RDI.  Your system will keep burning fat and excess stored energy without the fear of running out. It will maximize your weight loss. Starving yourself will only break down muscle and hold onto fat in fear you are not going to refill the gas tank. After you starve you will likely purge and then feel bad about yourself and have self esteem issues and next thing you know your riding a train though Tijuana feeding your Chiclets addiction! Seriously though lose weight, be healthy and be happy. After all the way you look is only a side effect of how healthy you are!
