The Truth about Diet and Weight Loss

I want to talk tonight about weight loss. It’s a subject everyone is worried about. And the problem is that diets don’t work. Everybody has tried a diet. I haven’t met a person yet that’s hasn’t tried something, from kids to people in their eighties; everybody has tried some kind of diet and they just don’t work. In recent studies when they looked at a lot of their major diets (some good one’s, Atkins, The Zone), they put them all together statistically and found a ten pound weight loss on average. Now, these people lost a hundred pounds and gained it back of course. But, all that work, all that money, all those videos, for ten pounds of weight loss?

So the truth is, we have to find a life style that will allow you to stay at a weight that is healthy for you. That’s a much different way of thinking than all this crash dieting that goes on. What you have to learn is how to take care of yourself; you have to learn the appropriate foods; you have to make better choices. That’s the only way it’s going to work.

Try eating NOTHING ( I mean nothing) but apples and drink nothing but COFFEE and WATER for one WEEK..This is a trick the stars use for movie roles where they have to loose massive amounts of wieght for a role. It’s totally unhealthy but, MAN if you wanna shed it FAST, try this method OUT!

    Would it count as a …
    Would it count as a complete and balanced breakfast? No, but eating that piece of fruit for breakfast would be much better than eating nothing at all. Also, it really depends upon your goals/weight/diet. If you eat that piece of fruit for breakfast and then eat every 2-3 hours (small meals) you should be fine. But again, eating something when you wake up is better than eating nothing at all. You need energy when you go off of fasting (the night sleep).

  7. athleticbodysystems Says:

    The calorie content …
    The calorie content is the same. The difference is this. By sleeping in until 2pm you are going without food (energy) for a longer period of time. Specifically 4 hours longer than if you were to get up and eat at 10am. The longer you go without food going into your body, the more your body is inclined to store calories as fat the next time you eat. Why? Because your body is concerned with survival, not a perfect body. Also, sleeping too much can be detrimental as well.

    Of course they work, they need to be permenant tho. If you diet for a while and then go back to normal you will gain weight. This video is stupid!

  20. graciousSenor Says:

    Diets DO work, but you have to have an “after diet plan” ready for when you go off. I know tuns of people that successfully lose a good amount of weight on diets. Diets are good B/C (if you diet right) they put your body in a fat burning state that it needs to be in to burn those lbs’ off.

  21. Unilka Says:

    thinspirationa, yes …
    thinspirationa, yes diets do work but only for a short while. and in the long term they up your ecosystem… and then no matter what you do, you can not put u body back together. i have seen it hundreds of times in other people…
