The Key To Permanent Weight Loss

Unfortunately, there is no ?Magic Pill? that will make you lose fat and build muscle. You may have tried many popular diets and found that either they do not work or they are a temporary fix. Many people who try quick weight loss plans gain back more weight than they lose.

Low-carbohydrate diets are unbalanced and can make you fatter. Once you begin to eat carbohydrates again you will gain back the weight and then some. Typically, a dieter will deprive themselves of carbohydrates. They can only sustain this deprivation for so long before they binge. And binge they do! Before you know it, they gain fat in abundance because they are overeating. Low-carb diet weight loss is mostly water and muscle. Do you want to lose muscle or fat? Your goal is to lose FAT!

By using fad diets you are essentially starving your body of needed vitamins, minerals and nutrients There is no pill that can capture the fat or carbohydrates you eat and pass them through your body undigested. Diet centers that prepare the food for you are expensive and unnecessary. You are much better off buying and preparing your own food so that you retain CONTROL!

Fad diets lead you to believe that carbohydrates make you fat. That is simply not true! Complex carbohydrates keep you lean. It is the simple carbohydrates such as sugar and excess dietary fat that makes you FAT!

Sugar is one of the most hindering ingredients when it comes to weight loss and overall health. Sugar, such as in ice cream, candy, cake, cookies and most sports drinks, are empty calories and are quickly converted to fat. Also, most of the foods I just listed are loaded with fat. The combination of fat and sugar are deadly to a fat loss plan.

Complex carbohydrates and protein are essential for maintaining good health and a lean body. Proteins are the building blocks for our bodies. They keep our organs healthy and help us build muscle. Carbohydrates give us the energy to perform our daily activities, as well as the energy to perform muscle-building workouts. Also, the fiber in complex carbohydrates and fibrous vegetables help keep our digestive system and colon healthy. Consuming at least 25 grams of dietary fiber each day is ideal.

A small amount of fat is necessary to maintain normal body function, but no added fat is needed. For example, if you are cooking steak or chicken, do not cook it in oil. The meat already contains enough fat.

Be Well & Stay Fit!
