Why Starvation Diets Don't Work

Many people turn to starvation diets when trying to lose weight. They drastically reduce calories hoping to lose weight as quickly as possible.

They're making a big mistake.

A very low calorie diet can produce quick weight loss, but what happens once the diet ends? Most people go back to the same old way of eating that caused them to be overweight in the first place and end up gaining back any lost weight.

The reality is that very low calorie diets almost never result in permanent weight loss. A very low calorie diet is a temporary way of eating that produces temporary results.

Another major problem that very low calories diets have is that they cause you to lose lean muscle mass. When you drastically reduce calories in order to starve away body fat, you also starve away lean muscle mass. Lean muscle mass is metabolically active tissue, so when you lose lean muscle mass your metabolism slows down. You also get weaker and your body becomes softer and flabbier.

For many people, the pattern of going on and off starvation diets and losing and regaining weight continues for years or even for an entire lifetime. With each repeated bout of very low calorie dieting their metabolism becomes slower, so they gain weight easier and have a harder time losing it.

If you want to permanently lose body fat and get fit and healthy, going on a starvation diet is not the way to do it. What you need to do is combine a fat loss nutrition plan with a fat loss exercise routine.

A fat loss nutrition plan is based on cutting back on calories, not on drastically reducing them. It's also based on eating certain healthy foods that are less likely to be converted to body fat. A fat loss nutrition plan is not a temporary way of eating like a diet is, it's a permanent way of eating that can be followed for a lifetime.

A fat loss exercise routine that includes aerobic exercise and strength training enables you to lose body fat without losing lean muscle mass and without slowing down your metabolism. There are also plenty of health and fitness benefits associated with aerobic exercise and strength training.
