Are the enemy Calories? The answer is No. Eating fewer calories will not result in weight loss. For example, if you are currently eating 2500 calories per day and drop to 1500 calories, you necessarily lose weight. If you cut your calories so drastically, you will reach a dieting plateau (you will reach a point where you will no longer lose weight.)
Let's begin with, how a person typically goes on a diet. One day you look into the mirror and see tight fitting close and you just don't look right. Your neck, arms, legs, and waist are larger than you remember. You put on a pair of jeans and they just don't pull on the way the use to, easily. They fit tight and are uncomfortable sitting down. Sound familiar? Anyways, on this day, you get angry and frustrated enough to finally put your self on a diet and decide to lose weight. And this time, you are going to stick to it.
Today you have enough anger, motivation and frustration that you decide that you are going to do whatever it takes to lose it this time. You start by skipping breakfast; after all, you'll be having lunch in a few hours. Getting closer to lunch, you feel like you might not make it. You begin feeling week, the motivation has worn off, and everything around you is reminding you of food. Your body is not accustomed to being without food for so long.
You try to bravely tell yourself that you can do this, but you feel miserable. You want to lose weight but you don't want to be a quitter. For lunch you decide to have something small or maybe a salad, but your stomach is telling you its "HUNGRY." You are still convinced that eating less will get you to your goal.
By dinner time, you're tired, hungry and you have a headache. You start to think, "Do you really want to go through this everyday? Can You?" Today, you are still so determined to lose weight that you decide to stick to it.
If you are really brave, you may have held off for a week, but chances are you have gone back to eating the same way after only a few days. Even if you were able to stick with it for a few days or weeks, you will not have lost any weight. Well, any weight worth losing. You may have made matters worse though. Since your body now thinks it is starving, it will begin to store every calorie that you eat.
You may have lost a pound or two, but this weight that was lost was only water weight and will be gained back as soon as you begin to eat normally again.
Now you know why you've always failed when trying to starve yourself in the past, since it's just not possible to lose weight by starving yourself. Serious weight loss cannot be achieved by starvation diet. Serious weight loss can only be achieved by giving your body the right types of calories at the correct times each day.
