Avoid Extreme Dieting to Lose Weight

By Joen Devenport

Most people are so surprised when they hear that you may drop off more fat by eating more. It is true. Very low calorie dieting actually make you fatter in the long full term. How is it possible you say? Let me explicate how it works.

To drop off fat you need a deficit of calories. But the problem with most extreme diets is which the calorie shortage is too aggressive or too extreme.

Sure you drop off weight in the beginning but finally your body adapts and you stop losing weight. If you cut your calories too much, with the idea of losing fat quickly, then your body gets into starvation mode.

When that occurs your metabolic rate slows down and you burn less fat. Your body thinks that there is no food available and to stop you from famishing to death it preserves your energy. Your energy is fat. Your body clings on to the fat to protect you. It is impossible to trick your body, it is just too smart.

Your body begins to release less and less fat burning enzymes and hormones. It happens as your body is trying to protect you.But one thing your body starts to increase is appetite hormones. that is why it is so tough to fight these cravings and finally you give up.

It is unfeasible to drop off fats permanently with famishing your body. These drop off weight quick diets never work no matter how hard you try or no matter what people tell. You don't have to starve your body to drop off weight. Here are a few tips how you may lose fat the right way.

Relax every day. Deep-stomach breathing, meditation and muscle relaxation therapy (in which you tense and then decompress your muscles, moving down the body from head to toes) are all tried and true ways to beat stress.
