Diet Cycle

You diet, you lose weight quickly.

This weight is actually muscle.

Less muscle equals a slower metabolism.

You splurge with cake to celebrate your weight loss success, or worse, you return to normal eating and...You end up GAINING weight!

"It was just one piece of cake! Why am I gaining weight?"

"I have to diet harder!"

And the diet cycle begins again!

THE DIET CYCLE!

When you diet, your body responds by holding on to fat because it thinks you are starving it. Even worse, it stores calories for future needs rather than burning them for energy! This starvation adaptation response actually lowers your basal metabolic rate (your metabolism) and makes weight gain inevitable!

How does this happen?

When your body hits the starvation adaptation response, and it does on ANY weight loss diet, it uses muscle for energy! You see, the body sees muscle as non-essential to long term survival, so it uses muscle for energy instead of fat (muscle is protein not fat)! Since muscle weighs more than fat, it shows up as rapid pounds lost on the scale. Now your diet is done but you have less muscle which means a slower metabolism! The diet ends, or so you think...

Suddenly, you find you gain weight fast & easily!

NO, NO, NO!

That's not what you wanted!

Even if you are eating less food than before, you gain weight!

"Oh no!" You think, "I need to find a better diet or a pill or something to lose weight!"

And the diet cycle begins again...

Now let's get this straight. I am not a doctor, I am a personal trainer. I have devoted my life to learning what works and what does not work for permanent weight loss. Anyone can lose weight then yo-yo up and down for many agonizing, frustrating, painful years.

I know how it is. I had my own struggles too. Despite exercise and dieting, I would yo-yo, just like you. Then I found the missing link! The key for permanent weight loss!
