On this beautiful cover of Elle “was” the headline proclaims “Zero complex, round and well in my body.” With a photo of a woman who can see the ribs. I guess we can be round and well in body, but still make a magazine cover, do not ask too much. We note in passing that the approach was that women’s magazines are redoubling their articles on the physics, slimming and weight loss … The most shocking perhaps is:
Again, one wonders where this woman find fat to lose.
I find it a shame to want to be thin to appear only on the beach, when you might want better health, a body more athletic, more comfortable and have more energy in general. But I’m not here to judge. The real problem is that the numbers “Slim For Summer” are sold on newsstands in the summer ….
We try to make believe that you can see easy to lose a large amount of fat in a short time. Any health care professional advises against the … for many reasons. In this article I will tell you why we need to slowly get rid of your excess weight. If not differ too much information that you have the habit of reading, and you do not know whether to believe me, then remember that I have nothing to sell.
Why it is impossible to lose fat fast
The mechanisms of the human body is not as simple as it can “cheat” with his body. Cheat his body is like a pact with the devil, you can be happy at first but we always end up biting them fingers …
Many people report extraordinary weight loss on short-term plan, such as “3 pounds lost in two days.” If Tata Raymonde assure you that it has lost much through diet and pineapple, the system of stars (sic), I assure you, it is only that it has lost water.
It is simply impossible to lose as much weight over a short period. 1 pound of fat loss = 7500 calories deficit. You work up to 2000-2500 calories per day. Even eating nothing, you can lose a pound every three days. Twice a week if you add the sport. Obviously this is a purely formal calculation, because there are many reasons why you can not lose as much weight:
1 – It is not natural to have too hungry
You are not done to “resist the hunger.” You are human, and all the discipline of the world will not prevent you from throwing you on the food you think is most delicious when you “crack”. This is especially a problem when you are used to find the sweet and fatty food “delicious” … A word of advice: start with changing that.
2 – Your body protects you against yourself
Your body is fantastic. If you deprive yourself of food for too long, it will save energy. Translation: you will be tired, very tired, and 2000 daily calories you need to run will be 1000 calories. What is already slowing in both your weight loss. This is called the fall of metabolism.
3 – You do not have that fat reserve
Come on, let’s say you want to lose weight so you are ready to lock yourself in a room with no food and no food … Even if it means being tired all the time … It’s just a few days or weeks to go, right?
The worry is that your body does not burn your fat … You do not give anything to eat! Your body thinks you are going to starve! He must ensure that you keep the reserves! So it will take care of cannibalizing your muscles instead.
In addition to adding to your fatigue, Nuratrim and more like a bag of potato post-regime, it has one major drawback: when you have finished with your weight loss, and even after returning metabolism in “normal” your body naturally consume less energy … since you have less muscle to feed … Personally I find that nature is very good things. Your body ensures your survival above all: he wants you to keep your reserves.
4 – The rebound will make you very ill
Your body is so assured that you burn fewer calories and less possible, and there is a minimum of muscles to feed. So you are now a real potato bag that crawls on the ground, but it does not matter! The big bad fat has decreased. Joy and Swimwear!
Not so fast. Your body still thinks you’re in the middle of the Sahara desert without any calorie available at your fingertips. And you’re still limited metabolism. And you have less muscle to feed. This means that if you eat a normal diet, 2000 calories, you can be sure that much will go directly to storage. And it will be like this until your body decides that you are out of danger.
In summary: If you want to lose weight, take your time.
Obsession with rapid weight loss: Why?
If you have a lot of weight to lose, ask yourself the question: why would I want to lose my weight fast? Your weight is the result of your eating habits over the past three years. In a way, it is telling of your person, your character, your habits the most innocuous.
A person who decides to lose weight quickly is a person who suddenly has “awakened” and can not stand her look in the mirror … And it’s an emotion to fight against-productive because the long-term. Happy people are more easily thin and thin people are not necessarily happier.
Give yourself time, be indulgent to yourself … There is no success or failure in weight control, only what you ate the last meal and what you will eat the next . Enjoy the process before the results! If you can not find pleasure in healthy food and balanced in sensation after a meal to be lighter, in the sense of bringing good things to your body and the right amount … So I can assure you will not do.
What is the right pace to lose weight?
I wish to give you an exact figure with numerous scientific studies behind, but it’s impossible. Metabolisms differ too much from one person to another to set a limit ideal. Therefore the only answer I have to offer to this question is: slowly.
Many say that 500 fewer calories per day is the maximum that you can withstand without starving your body (Remember, a woman should consume 2000 calories on average, a man in 2500, varying according to age, weight, activity, metabolism, etc.). Others recommend to cut 20% of your calories, while others recommend more conservative 10%. All these figures seem credible, but they have the disadvantage of being only just numbers. Unless you start counting your calories (which is very effective but not tenable in the long run …) I recommend you rather trust your feelings.
So I would explain in a future article the best way to lose excess weight as soon as possible … That is not too fast.
If you want to be thin to show off the beaches this summer, I hope you have started last summer.
