This is what you're going to hear in just a short while. Your reply won't have any relation to diet. Diets don't work. You don't need statistics. Just look around you. How many of your friends have changed their body permanently with diet? Probably none, zero, zilch, nada!
Last month 1.3 million searched for "weight loss" and 0.7 million people searched for "diet" in Yahoo search engine. That's 2 million only on yahoo. It's around 10 million all over the internet (Google other search engines). These are shocking figures given only 5% succeed keeping their weight. Would you start a new treatment, investment, business, or relationship with 5% chance of success? I bet you wouldn't.
What Holds You Back?
Restriction diets fail because they act against your body. You have an automatic balancing mechanism called Homeostasis. This is a positive mechanism but it has an adverse impact when it comes to diets. The homeostasis defines every change as a threat and resists it. Try to starve your body, as calorie restriction diets do, and you'll find that your body is accumulating fat for "emergency storage". Amazing! Isn't it?
Don't Look Awful
The second reason your diet fails is because it aims for weight loss. You typically lose 65% fat and 35% muscle when you diet. But when you go off the diet, you gain 80% fat and 20% muscle. At the end of the cycle, even at the original weight, you're flabbier and older. You lose muscle when you're aging and you're losing muscle when dieting. Diets accelerate your aging.
The only way to change your body forever is stop dieting. Throw your weight scale and start to watch your "body composition". That's the ratio of "body fat" to total "body mass". Your goal is to gain muscle to offset your aging process. Muscle gain increases metabolic rate and enhances fat burning. That eliminates the diet's rollercoaster and makes you look great forever.
The Washington Post reported on Jun 13, 2005 that a team of researchers, from the United States and Britain, led by Dr. Tim Spector of St. Thomas Hospital in London has produced the first direct evidence that fat accelerates aging.
Undoubtedly, if you want to reverse your age you need to burn fat. Therefore you should manipulate the homeostasis by providing your body enough food to stop this vicious fat storing. That's true! Abundance of the right foods accelerates your fat loss in a safer and enjoyable way.
In just a few weeks you'll be astonished how your body is sculpted to a model's figure or a top athlete's shape. You will trim your waist and win a flat tummy. You even get a 6-pack abs no matter what age you are. Envision yourself in front of your mirror unbelieving it's your body. The most memorized experience of people who changed their body was the amazing feeling showering their sleek body that looks and feels like it doesn't belong to them.
