Understand this one thing and you will never diet again

?It?s not you, it?s me? I have heard that statement before in my life. I?ve gotten over it. However I wish there were a few people that would use that phrase more often, like government or banks. In fact, I wish that the diet industry would use it more often. Unfortunately they use the other form; ?Its not me its you?

Have you ever wondered why you regain the weight back so quickly? You see, diets won?t take the blame. I think it?s time that they did. Here?s why!

Diets set you up for weight regain- here?s the science to back it up.

Friends, I want you to be sure, if you grasp this one philosophy, you will never want to diet again. You will finally find out why it is truly hopeless until you change the way you approach health and fitness. You need to reach your goal without dieting but by making small changes in a few key behaviours.

Here are the facts! Typically the metabolism is reduced when someone is losing weight, predisposing the dieting subject to weight regain once they are done the diet. So in 1997 a group of researchers decided to see if they could do something about it. They took obese dieting subjects and separated them into three groups, a weight-training group, an aerobic training group, and a diet alone group. Their hypothesis was that the weight-training group would stimulate muscle growth and as a result preserve the metabolism as they were losing weight.

What they discovered is something that is rarely discussed in diet centers. Weight training did not prevent the decline in the metabolism.

Lets bring this research to a practical level.

This means that an obese dieting individual will not be able to prevent the drop in metabolism even with weight-training! (because we cannot keep up with the muscle loss due to the fact that we don?t need it anymore to move us around, see blog x).

Here is the truth. This means that after I diet my metabolism will be lower and there is nothing I can do about that. This is where dieting is very dangerous.

Case study:

Lets take Steve as an example. Steve is 300 lbs. and has a resting metabolism of 2400 calories per day (meaning he burns 2400 calories per day if he were to just lay in bed all day; definition of metabolism). Steve is tired of his weight and just wants it off. He wants it off as quickly as possible. So he signs up for a program that will guarantee him weight loss.

It?s a diet that requires him to take a supplement. He?s quite ecstatic about it because it?s easy and he doesn?t even have to think about it. He just has the shake instead of his regular lunch and then at dinner consumes vegetables and protein. This type of process is very typical for a high protein low carbohydrate diet. It?s perfect; he has too much on his plate to have to think about what to eat!

Fast forward a couple months and Steve is down 50 lbs. He finally reached his goal. The diet stated that he would actually boost his metabolism because it was a high protein diet (I won?t get started on that one). So unbeknownst to Steve his metabolism has actually gone from 2400 calories a day to 1900. That drop represents a 500-calorie drop per day, equivalent to a 45 min run. This is why exercise is such a great weight manager.

Now Steve decides to go off the supplements and start eating normally. He re-enters his old habits with a lower metabolism. What a perfect storm to regain all of his weight back.

Fast forward again and Steve has regained all of his weight back. The good thing is that because his body needs to support the extra mass his muscle starts to grow again and as a result his metabolism increases. Picture Steve again at 300 lbs. He is back to his old habits, has gained his weight back and is wearing his old clothes again.

The only change is that his metabolism is slightly lower. He now has a 2350-calorie metabolism (slightly lower than when he started the diet). As Steve wonders why he can?t keep the weight off he decides to go on a different diet. One that will work! Maybe the injections will help. So he re-enters the weight loss weight regain cycle.

Below is a visual representation of this cycle.

There is hope! In my next blog I will be discussing what Steve can do to stop this viscous cycle. Remember this, this pattern is normal. Don?t beat yourself up. Diets love this cycle. You will always need them; unless of course they do everything they can to help you avoid this.

At Fitmetabolism, we want you to avoid this cycle. We have done everything to assist you in this. This is why we don?t sell supplements, or meal replacements, or have you cut out something just to put it back into your diet. We work very hard to help people lose the weight and keep it off for good.

Do me a favor. I want you stand for justice. Share this blog with anyone who is caught in this cycle. Let them be aware, this is a science thing. We need to start breaking this cycle to see global change. Thanks Fm?ers for standing for the scientific truth.
