Fad diets, they all have one thing
in common. They're diets. They are like a pair of bell bottom
pants. They are in for a couple of years and they're gone. Then
they find they're way back just when the fitness professionals
know we are ready to eat 'em up again... no pun intended. When
you're trying to burn fat, you really
should avoid these things like the plague.
Now, realistically many of these
diets will provide some initial fat loss for many people. So
you get some weight loss initially, but you could also lose some
muscle on these programs too, and you know that losing muscle
can spell disaster to your fat burning efforts. But the bigger
problem with these diets is that most who follow outlandish diets
gain back the fat they lost, and then some!
On top of that, they often recommend
focusing too much on one type of food, which can lead to unhealthy
eating habits. I've found they are too strict to be realistically
followed, especially for a long period of time, and they're no
fun. And anything you can't follow as a lifestyle will not burn
fat in the long run.
You see, the very concept of a diet
is doomed to fail. Why? Diets are based in a temporary mindset.
The fact that someone goes on a diet means they will have to
come off of the diet. This is temporary... why force yourself
to lose 10 pounds when you're just going to gain it back and
then some when you go off of the diet? That may sound simple,
but most people just don't get it... they look to diets as the
answer to their weight and health problems. But they're not the
answer, and they actually create more problems for you. People
who are regular dieters don't burn fat over the long haul.
If you seek life long fat burning,
health and fitness in a lean body, you should take some advice
from my mom, and probably your mom too. When I think about it,
probably the best base of nutritional knowledge I received was
from my mom. For the most part, my mom was right. She didn't
know anything about fat burning, but she
made sure I got nutritious foods growing up.
She especially made a point to make
sure I ate my vegetables, especially the green ones. She limited
sugary stuff and other junk, but didn't totally eliminate it,
making it a special treat for me on occasion. She tried to provide
a balanced offering of the different food groups throughout the
day.
Thanks, Mom! Mom's diet was actually
quite sound, and I've found that heeding some of this advice
in the pursuit of maximum fat burning
and a lean healthy body for the rest of your life is a smart
way to go.
You see, your body naturally craves
foods rich in nutrients (antioxidants, phyto nutrients, fiber,
vitamins, minerals, etc.) When you eat most of your meals from
foods rich in important nutrients, your body will body will be
satisfied and overeating won't be much of a problem.
You then begin to burn fat as a natural
result of giving your body what it thrives on. On top of that,
you're lowering your risk for disease by promoting a natural
alkaline environment in your body with these types of foods.
If you do the opposite and eat most
of your meals from foods lacking in nutrients, you'll keep eating
and eating and eating to satisfy your nutrient needs. This leads
to too many calories and a person who will just keep getting
fatter and more prone to develop increased risk for disease with
an acidic environment in the body. When this happens, you can
just kiss fat burning goodbye.
So nutrition for fat loss, fitness,
and health really all do go hand in hand. My Fat Burning Furnace
students have changed their lives permanently, by simply altering
what they put in their bodies... and you can do it to.
Focus on foods rich in nutrients.
In part two of this article, I'll get more specific in helping
you make the transition from your current lifestyle to the one
you desire. One where your body seemingly burns fat 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week with little effort.
