There are so many obese people who have been struggling to lose weight fast. The theory of losing weight fast is being promoted by many articles and commercials which are promoting the use of steroidal supplements.

The other approach people take in there bid to lose weight is the use of fad diets which insist a drastic reduction of calorie intake. The use of fad diets never works because there is no relationship whatsoever between losing weight and going on a fad diet which is calorie restrictive.

What this does is increase the percentage of body fat and at the same time reduces the percentage of muscles in the body. When the percentages of muscles in the body are reduced, the body metabolism will be affected and therefore fewer calories will be burned because the metabolic process has reduced.
