Why are we overweight? Well its definitely not because we don't exercise but the core reason is because we eat the wrong foods, the wrong types of calories, at the wrong times of day. This may sound odd but suspend disbelief a little: nothing else has worked maybe this can. I believe this idea will change the way you think about dieting. It did for me.
Food is the fuel in your engine! It truly has the power to make you slim or fat. Have you ever heard of the saying "You are what you eat". Well for it to be really accurate you have to expand the saying so it becomes "You are what, when and how you eat".
What you eat and when you eat it has a very powerful effect on your body. Together they can have a more decisive effect than any prescription weight loss pill. Your engine to be efficient really only needs certain foods at certain times, and if you don't eat the right foods at the right times then calorie burning will be slowed to a crawl and they'll be stored as fat tissue. This may sound counter-intuitive but eating more often (a.k.a. grazing) is a key factor in losing fat.
So the idea is that can SLIM down by eating the RIGHT FOODS at the RIGHT INTERVALS.
The Old Ways (which I have tried and failed with): - Low Calorie Diets. You can't lose weight by starving yourself because your metabolism will sense the drop in calories and it will then adjust itself by burning less calories a day. It's a survival mechanism Frustratingly it's why you can starve yourself on 1,000 calories a day and not lose weight while your friend can happily eat 3,000 calories a day and not gain an ounce.
- Low fat diets? Well have you noticed to that there is practically a "no fat or low fat" version of everything in the food store...and yet (and I don't think I'm talking about just me here) we keep getting fatter...despite this "low fat" help.
- Low carb diets have been immensely popular but they can be very restrictive. Some deny you a large apple when you start or let you eat out normally. As a result they tend to leave you feeling fed up and discouraged and as an aside (I know from experience) can give you horribly bad breath.
I was amazed when I found this system. It's different from anything I'd ever seen. They promise that you'll see a change in your body in just 11 Days. For me that was an eye catcher. I had to forget about past dieting failures for a moment and think WHAT IF it was really possible to change your body in 11 days?
So what is their (2 part) Secret?
1) FOOD IS NOT YOUR ENEMY. It is your friend! Every time you eat your brain releases fat related hormones into your bloodstream. There are 2 types and together they control Fat Burning and Fat Storage. However the really important fact is that these 2 hormones are controlled by the foods that you eat. Knowing that we can manipulate the fat burning hormones with our diet!
So the goal is to eat in order to manipulate these hormones so that after eating your body goes crazy producing more of the fat burning hormones and minimizing the fat storing hormones.
One of the key ways to do this is to eat more than 3 times per day because that allows us to control them better. Do you find it hard to believe that eating more often could be the solution to speeding up weight loss? Remember food is not the enemy instead think of it as the switch which can turn fat burning on and off. If I could turn fat burning on by eating I'd eat all the time (just kidding).
But sounds crazy doesn't it? Eating more often can be the solution to weight loss. Realize this isn't a magic pill. It will take effort. You must eat the right meals in the right patterns each day (clearly eating chocolate 10 times per day wont help you get slim). However, the bottom line is that you'll be eating MORE than 3 meals per day during the next 11 Days, you wont be hungry and after 11 days you'll be slimmer and lighter. What is there to lose? I am thinking..."the weight!"
2) CALORIE SHIFTING. This second part means that your body will be given different types of calories each day which will boost your metabolism and force faster fat loss.
Why does this work? Well your metabolism doesn't know how much food you'll eat tomorrow or the next day. So it burns calories based on your previous eating habits -- it assumes that you'll continue to eat in the same general way. However this system does the opposite of that so your body keeps burning at the higher level. So when you change the types of calories/meals every couple of days, your metabolism burns the foods entirely and then switches to burning your fat tissue.
Of course, in order for this shifting technique to work you need to eat foods which have been rated "Fat Burning Compatible" -- because the foods you eat must be easy to burn. This does not mean you will be eating celery 5 times a day. Far from it, but it does mean you can't go on a chocolate diet.
It's a simple program that uses science but makes it soooo easy.
However, it can be said that there is definitely a best way to lose weight for every individual, and it is best if you can find this out for yourself and follow it. If you are unsure about how to go about this, to begin with, you always have the option of contacting a qualified dietician or nutritionist who will be able to help you find the your own personal ?best way to lose weight?.
Or you also have the option of reading through various books and literature available on the subject of weight loss to find what is the best way to lose weight for you. As you can see there are a number of options open to you, and it only hinges on which one you take to get your weight loss under way.
Before beginning on any weight loss method however, it is always best if you consult with your doctor or other qualified person to decide whether this is the best way to lose weight for you.
In this way you can circumvent any future problems which might arise as a result of your weight loss, and you can also rule out any medical or health issues which might prevent you from losing weight the way you should.
To this end, even though you might think that you have found the best way to lose weight, you might not want to set that in stone. Always leave your options open and you will find that you are better off for doing so.
Keeping your weight loss program flexible also gives you leeway to change it as you go through it, wedding out the bad spots and fine tuning the things which work for. In this way especially you will find that you truly are reaping the results and that you have truly found the best way to lose weight, for yourself.
And once you have done this, the next thing that you need to do is to stick to your weight loss program. There is simply no use in having found the best way to lose weight if you don't follow through on it to the conclusion.
And when you have done this, you will know that you will be fighting fit and ready to take on the world. Why? Because you know that you used the most healthy and best way to lose weight, and that you now have the will power and the ability to keep the weight off.
