Maintain A Good Dieting Health Without Crash And Fad Diets
By John Styrose
So you want to lose that butterball, fat stomach of your without sacrificing muscles? Then there are 2 widely used diets you should stay as far away as possible from. They are crash dieting and fad diets. Crash dieting involves a drastic reduction in calories, usually to about 800 calories or fewer a day, with equally drastic consequences, such as the following: - Muscle and fluid loss along with the fat loss. If you lose 20 pounds in 20 days, then the first 6-10 pounds would be fluids, the rest would be fat and muscle. - Loss of aerobic power. Your body will become less efficient in taking in and processing oxygen, which in turn will result in less available oxygen for your muscle cells to burn fat for fuel. - Loss of strength - Slower metabolism. Crash dieting also slows down your metabolic rate to a crawl. Crash dieting is a losing proposition any way you think if it. Nothing is gained, except more weight! Approximately 95-99% of people who go on this diet are likely to regain their weight within the year. Now fad diets are the eating plans that eliminate certain foods and shift your focus to others, and are just as bad. The major problem with fad diets is that they are nutritionally unbalanced and you could be missing out on a several vital nutrients for good health. Take the high protein diet for example. One of the most popular diets among strength trainers. At first it works great, you get on the scale and you see a huge weight loss, and you feel great--until you get off the diet. This is because high-protein diets are very dehydrating. They flush water right out of your system to help the body get rid of excess nitrogen. Dehydration is also dangerous potentially causing fatigue, heat stroke, loss of coordination, and even death. There are anti-fat exercise and diet strategies that do work, namely a fat-burning training program combined with an individualized, nutritionally balanced eating plan that emphasizes carbs and de-emphasizes fat. |
