Quick Fix Diets – Can They Really Work
Quick Fix Diets or Crash Diets dont work in the long term. Yes you will shed pounds counting calories or as Beyonce did recently only drinking lemonade. But we all know that once we start eating again we will put the pounds back on. If you have dieted over the years you will see this familiar pattern. Part of the key to successful dieting is to understand why these quick fix diets on there own are not the answer.
Our bodies are designed to be able to survive during “hard times” and possible starvation. Therefore if you suddenly reduce the amount of food and subsequent calories you are having `the body will store the fat it has. The body does this by reducing the metabolic rate which will make sure you can live on less food. The main problem occurs when after living on Beyonces lemonade diet for a week you decide you are so hungry you could literally eat a horse. Your body, by then, has become accustomed to less food and will be able to survive on it and you will pile on the pounds.
What makes these diets even worse is you are often losing only water. The body is only really designed to lose approximately 1-2 lbs of “real” fat a week.
Well, where to begin there are so many quick fix diets to choose from we could run out of room here. If you need a mental boost to kick start your diet plan then use a quick fix diet for a few days.
This ensured that the quick fix diets hadnt slowed my metabolic rate down to much and my body then wasnt going to pile the pounds on when I started eating different foods. Pretty simple approach but it does work and its not a fad.
