Why Fad Diets Do Not Return Good Results

By Russ Howe


One of the biggest problems in the fitness industry is the number of people who can't lose weight on a low calorie diet regardless of what they do in the gym. If you fall into this category, you are certainly not by yourself.

The immediate course of action is to look at what you are doing right now and eliminate the things which are not working.
If you can\'t lose weight on a low calorie diet today\'s video will teach you the facts.


When people hit this wall, they will reach the conclusion that they cannot see progress. They normally have two big issues in common with each other:

1. They don't eat enough calories.

2. They have a tendency to do hours of cardiovascular exercise.

If you see yourself in either of those two situations, there is a very clear reason why you can not achieve the results you are trying to achieve on the gym floor. The combination of overly performing cardiovascular exercise and eating too few calories per day is an absolute show stopper when it comes to curbing your weight loss efforts.

If you have ever tried restricting calories and cutting out your most enjoyable foods for a week you will already know the problems this approach yields - yet it remains a commonly made dieting mistake. By restricting your favorite snacks your diet becomes the enemy, which is never good for long-term progress, and by restricting calories you run the very real danger of pushing your body straight into starvation mode, which is renowned for elevated fat storage.

Your body begins to slow down your metabolic rate in a bid to prevent you from burning off the fuels it needs to survive, i.e. your fat and carbohydrate stores. So despite the fact that you are pushing yourself through grueling 2 hour cardiovascular sessions doesn't make a jot of difference to your actual progress!

It is also quite common to see people coupling this poor strategy with overly long aerobic exercise. This type of exercise, when performed in excess, has been shown to break down lean muscle tissue and is a toxic ingredient in a weight loss plan.

Instead of falling victim to the same old mistakes, you can do two things. Firstly, structure your calorific intake to be roughly your goal body weight (in pounds) multiplied by twelve. This ensures enough quality calories per day are entering your system and, believe it or not, you will find it far easier to lose fat despite eating more food than you may right now.

Secondly, your cardio routine is in desperate need of an update. High intensity interval training has been shown to be more than six times more effective for disposing of unwanted body fat tissue, so that is certainly something to be looked at.

Before you jump to the conclusion that you can't lose weight on a low calorie diet and workout program, look at why you aren't seeing any results. By incorporating the latest science, as we have done today, you can see that the solution to your problem is not very complex at all.
