Think again!
There are many new weight loss programs that have you eat only 500 calories a day and take different supplements, creams or even HCG!
This CAN definitely work short term, because if I have you eat a very
small amount of calories, you will lose weight and this can be very
beneficial SHORT TERM, but the problem is long term.
Here is WHY?
Eating only 500 calories a day can limit the amount of fats, proteins and carbohydrates that are necessary to live. When you begin to deplete your body of these, your body goes into what it thinks is SURVIVAL mode because it thinks it's starving. When eating only 500 calories a day for a long period of time, it creates a LARGE loss of body protein, primarily from muscle tissue. The protein losses continue to decrease rapidly as the body thinks it's starving and up to one half of the total weight lost during a this type of fasting is muscle and water, a ratio which is unacceptable.
This is why as soon as you begin eating normal again, you gain your weight right back, you have spent lots of money and now your upset. There are NO shortcuts to health or losing weight. The key to losing weight is to move your body from a SUGAR burner to a FAT burner.
That is why Intermittent fasting with high intensity exercise is a much healthier and smarter way to....
1. lose weight
2. keep it off
3. get healthier
4. reduce inflammation
With Intermittent Fasting, it allows you to get the benefits of fasting, but you're still able to get enough calories of all the necessary, proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Instead of BURNING muscle and wasting away, your able to TRULY burn fat and still BUILD muscle.
