Eat less and exercise has been the mantra of doctors, friends, relatives, and television shows for as long as all these people have been around. It has been the central theme of a multitude of major Weight loss programs. If you want to lose weight, that's the solution they tell you. They bring out a chart that shows you how many calories your body will burn each and every day, and then they tell you that if you eat just five hundred calories less than that each day, you'll lose a pound a week. You continue to lose a pound a week, and soon, you'll be down to your goal weight in no time. But, with the advances of cellular science and the hefty funds and grants that have gone into weight loss thanks to the "Growing Epidemic" we've discovered that this information is not true, that it's bound for failure, and that people who do this are not failing because of a lack of willpower or intelligence, but, because that's not how the body works.
Skinny people stay skinny because they're metabolism burns at an accelerated rate and the body wants to keep them skinny. When they age, if they do not make dietary changes, they often find themselves gaining weight rapidly, even if the same diet, ten or twenty years ago, catered to them just fine. Meanwhile, a person of opulence may find themselves making all the dietary changes they need, and the weight begins to come off, and then slow down, and then stop altogether... and even worse, begin to reverse and start going up again, even though they are consistently following the plan, eating right, and doing what they're supposed to do. Why is that?
The first new revelation we've had that has yet to become fully known throughout the mainstream is that the body is excellent at maintaining a stasis. Let that sink in for a moment, it can be a bit confusing. What we're seeing here is not a nation of opulence and gluttony brought on by weak will and low intelligence, but a nation getting fatter because the poor quality of food is not working well with their body and is causing their fat tissue to grow and slowly stunting their metabolism as they grow, so the body then accepts the fat and wants to keep it.
Obesity often begins in childhood. More than 70% of obese children grow up to become obese adults. And the reason this is, is because if you're obese as a child, your body wants to keep that fat, it wants to keep every ounce of fat it has, and wants to store it properly. The body likes to keep everything it has, what it can't throw out of the body that doesn't belong there, it tries to make part of it, and what it has it refuses to get rid of. Children born with port-whine stains and other malformations and pigment issues who go for treatment find the body often trying to bring back the original malformation because to the body that is normal and the cure is not. And this is why the traditional wisdom of eat less and exercise and BMR (Basil Metabolic Rate) and all these other common wisdom things don't work.
The second new revelation we have is that you don't have the metabolism of the body you have when you're losing weight, but, of the body you had when you were fat. This one here is a bit complicated, but simply put, if you're fat, and you begin to lose the weight, you are still for the rest of your life going to have to eat less than a person your weight will have to just to sustain, because your metabolic rate will always be slower than a person who has been that weight naturally.
But all is not lost. There are three mistakes that people often make when dealing with calorie restriction and exercise that if not made, will make your weight loss easier, more consistent, and overall sustainable for the rest of your life.
The Three Mistakes And What You Must Do:
- People Maintain The Original Calorie Restriction That They Started The Diet With. If You Continue To Eat At The Calorie Level You Were At When You Were Fatter, You'll Be Overeating For Your New Body Type, and Your Metabolism, Slower Than A Normal Person's Will Eventually Slowdown To The Point That It Can Maintain And Then Begin To Gain the Weight Back. You Must Continue To Decrease Caloric Intake With Decreasing Weight To Continue Weight Loss. However, It's Not Advisable To Go Below More Than 1,200 Calories.
- People Try To Return to Eating The Calories That They Are Supposed To Be Able To Eat, Not Realizing That They Are Always Going To Have To Eat 20% Less. This Is Often The Downfall of Many People Who Succeed, Become Fit, And Then Watch The Weight Come Back On.
- People Overestimate How Many Calories They Work Off. To explain the math would be an article in itself. Just Know, It Takes About Two Hours To Work Off A Brownie, Only Ten Seconds Not To Eat It.
Weight loss isn't as difficult as people think, but, it's more complicated than those who have never had to do had ever thought. You can succeed on this journey. You can get the body that you want and the body that you deserve. You just need to keep focusing on it and working toward it, and make sure you don't make one of those three mistakes.
