The Problem With Quick Weight Loss Plans

By Howe Russ


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.

There is a major issue with all individuals who reach this sticking point. They share two things in common:

1. They eat less than 1000 calories per day.

2. They spend their time doing endless hours of cardiovascular activity.

Should you recognize any of the above conditions in your current predicament you need to change tactics. Overdoing the cv exercise and eating too little food is a sure-fire way to blast your body into a plateau.

Of course, on top of the list of dieting mistakes is the fatal error of removing all your favorite junk foods from your daily eating plan. In doing this, you immediately turn your new routine into an uphill struggle against your will. In turn, individuals who do this usually follow it up with the equally devastating move of restricting their calorie intake far too much. The body reacts by forcing itself into emergency survival mode.

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.

Perhaps you have looked at these two common mistakes and seen yourself making one of them on a regular basis. If so, that is a good thing, as it allows you to see where you went wrong and correct it for the future. Instead of starving your body, aim to consume a calorie intake of roughly 12x your goal body weight in pounds.

It would also be worth taking a week to familiarize yourself with high intensity interval training, or HIIT for short, which has been scientifically accepted as a superior method for blasting adipose tissue. It also provides you with shorter, more enjoyable workout sessions.

If you dream of owning a lean, defined physique typical of the type of body you would see on the cover of a fitness magazine or beauty magazine, you need to get your training and your diet in check first. If you can't lose weight on a low calorie diet the trick is to stop doing the things which are already not working for you. Change your approach, eat more food and exercise for less overall time but at a higher intensity level. This will fire up your body's metabolism and improve your fitness massively.
