Eat less, weigh less, right?
Yes and no.
You love my answers, right?
When it comes to successful fat loss, a caloric deficit must be created ~ you want to be eating slightly less than what you burn through your metabolism, daily activity and workouts.
I am not one to focus on or preach numbers, but when you are just
beginning it is important to take an inventory of what is going into
your body.
This can be as simple as keeping a basic food log for 5 to 7 days.
Now, let’s get into what happens when you do NOT eat enough.
Ten Step Process of Following a Low Calorie “Diet”
The truth about what happens when you drop your calories too low.
1. You decide you want to lose weight, so you lower your calories.
2. Your body weight falls.
3. Your body tries to regain the original weight by becoming VERY energy efficient as it begins to SLOW metabolic processes.
4. Your body senses a loss of body weight and perceives the current low calorie diet as Starvation.
5. Sensing Starvation from low calories, your body begins to ….
~ slow your metabolic rate…again
~ hold on to fat stores for survival
~ learn how to function on fewer calories
6. Your Body now begins to look for alternative sources of fuel for energy
7. Your body adapts to your energy needs by burning lean muscle for fuel….which in turn lowers your metabolism even more.
8. You now become Tired, Lethargic, and find it extremely difficult to stay motivated.
9. To make matters worse, you now begin to Crave foods high in sugar
and fat – - – your body is tricking you into increasing your calorie
intake.
10. Your body has learned to function on low calories and ANY increase in calories will be stored as fat.
Result => It is nearly impossible to keep this lifestyle up for a
long period of time. Once you begin to increase your calories, you
quickly regain what you have lost and are likely to gain an extra 5 to
10 lbs. on top of that.
Not exactly the results anyone would want.
