not just a nutrition program; it merges nutrition with exercise – a combination essential for permanent fat loss

To lose body fat, you must create a calorie deficit. There is no other way. A calorie deficit means that you burn more calories than you consume every day. There are two ways you can create this calorie deficit: 1) decrease your caloric intake from food, or 2) increase the amount of calories you burn through exercise.

Both methods should be used, but of the two ways, burning the calories is healthier, more efficient and more permanent. That’s where the phrase “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle” comes from: It means, don’t starve the fat with low calorie diets, instead, Burn the Fat with exercise. It also means keep your muscle mass intact at all costs with weight training and sufficient amounts of nutrient dense food. Losing muscle is unacceptable.

Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle is not a very low calorie

Most people are dead wrong in the way they diet to lose body fat.

Almost every conventional diet program ever conceived has one thing in common: Extremely low calories. Nearly all of these low calorie diets produce weight loss in the beginning. The problem is, none of them work for long – it’s physiologically impossible to lose fat permanently by starving yourself. The human body is simply too “smart” for this to ever work.

Fad Diets: Why Are They Bad?

It is not surprising that many people wonder why fad diets are bad when they seem to get results. You will find many sites on the internet claiming significant weight loss in just a few days. That type of weight loss is always temporary. It is usually 90% water which will be put straight back on as soon as your body rehydrates, which it must do if you are not going to suffer severe health problems or die.

Other fad diets are not so obviously crash diets with outrageous claims but they are over hyped diet plans that tend to be fashionable for a while and usually make a lot of money for the inventor in associated product sales. In the best cases these are good nutrition plans which will help you lose weight, but which you could probably have gotten for free from your doctor. In the worst cases they will prove so difficult to follow that you will give up after a week.

The bad of fad diets

1. Diets that promise quick and easy weight loss are usually based on eating more of one food type and none of another. These do not give the benefits that you would get from a balanced diet. They may suggest you take supplements but many supplements are not absorbed by the body unless they are taken along with the foods that the diet has banned. After a few weeks, if you stick to it that long, you may begin to develop nutritional deficiencies.

3 Bad Diet Mistakes To Avoid At All Cost

Even though there is so much information available about weight loss, the same diet mistakes are being made over and over every day. We are not talking here about little slipups where you ate a slice of pie that was not on the plan, but big mistakes that lead to failure to lose the weight that you want to lose. Understanding these errors can help you develop the attitude that will lead to permanent weight loss for you.

1. The All Or Nothing Attitude

All or nothing dieters will often pick out a complicated diet that is almost impossible for them to maintain. Before beginning, they will search the kitchen for anything that does not fit the plan and throw it in the garbage. They are planning to be the perfect dieter, and so they will be, for one day, three days, seven days or even a couple of weeks.

Then, inevitably, something happens that means they cannot keep to the diet one time. Immediately the whole thing is ruined in their eyes and the diet is over. They go to the store and buy all the things that went into the garbage last week and proceed to gain back all the weight that they lost, as fast as possible.

If you are this kind of dieter you need to ask yourself some tough questions. Do you really want to lose weight permanently, or just lose a few pounds so that you can enjoy putting them back on again? The way forward is to make small changes to what you eat so that you have a slow but steady weight loss.

Negative Calorie Foods

You will find a list of negative calorie foods below, but first let’s consider what this means. There is no such thing as a negative calorie – a calorie is a unit of heat and it cannot be negative. So when people talk about negative calorie foods, this just means a food whose calorie level is low enough that it takes more energy to eat and digest it than the food contains.

For example, if you consider water to be a food, then cold water is certainly a negative calorie food. It contains no calories at all and the body has to expend energy to bring it up to blood temperature. So every time we drink a glass of cold water we burn up a couple of calories and lose a little weight. But there are very few foods like this. Most foods that are on the list do not really use more calories than they add, or if they do the effect is negligible … until you remember that at the same time the body expends energy just to keep alive and breathing. Celery for example does not give us enough calories to cover both the energy that it takes to digest it, plus the energy that we expend even when we are doing nothing. So that is why people call it a negative calorie food.

Negative calorie foods are most attractive to anorexics. A negative calorie diet would obviously result in starvation in the long term and nutritional deficiencies can occur surprisingly quickly. The calories burnt usually come from muscle mass, and the result is debility and wasting.

What are Negative Calories

Negative Calories. What are they? Negative Calorie foods have what we will refer to as a negative calorie effect.

To give you an idea of what that means, we’ll go through the process. You eat an apple. The apple you consume has 80 calories however, your body’s chemical processing, digestion and breakdown of that apple causes you to burn off 100 calories thus, your negative calorie effect is -20 calories. Can you see the implications of a diet based on this premise?

Let’s talk about the word diet. What images do you conjure up when you see or hear that word? I think of starving. I think of not ever getting full when I sit down to a meal. I think of all the foods that I like. I think of all the foods that I’m missing. What do you think?

We’re going to change all that. The first step is to redefine the word diet. In reality, we don’t have to change the real definition, just the definition we’ve all been programmed to believe in. Go ahead; look up the word diet in a dictionary. Let’s do it together. Diet: 1. The usual food and drink of a person or animal. The other definitions are similar but none of the definitions define the word diet as a way to lose weight. Diet does not mean weight loss! Diet is simply the usual food and drink you consume.

I want you to start understanding, knowing, and feeling that diet is not a bad word. Just as a doctor would have a patient change their diet for some particular reason, we too will change our diet to produce the desired changes in not only our weight, but also our storage of body fat.
