Fast weight loss is the main desire of most dieters. The problem is that with most rapid weight loss ("fad diets)" the weight loss consists of water and muscle. Both must be protected. You must protect your muscle because it is essential to your successful fat loss. You do not simply want rapid weight loss...you want FAT loss.
Here is the truth about dieting successfully: In order to diet successfully, you must include all three food groups in your meals. Only by including all three can you cause your body to target its fat only.
There are so many fad diets on the market today, how can you know which to use? However, most fad diets limit the intake of one or more food groups (protein, fat, or carbohydrates), and as a result they tend to fight against your body's natural metabolic system making continued success impossible.
An example is the low carb diet...made popular in recent years. You may experience initial weight loss with low carb "fad" diets. However, this initial weight loss is composed of water and lean muscle. This is self defeating, considering the fact that you want to only lose fat and not muscle. When you lose water you deplete with it, the glycogen stores in your muscles. Leaving off carbs -your muscle fuel- causes your body to turn on its muscle tissue instead for its energy fuel. As you lose muscle, you lose strength and your resting metabolism rate drops which in turn makes it even more difficult to burn fat.
Another "fad" diet is the low fat diet. This will be a difficult diet for you to find any success with because as you cut out fats from your diet, you will tend to go into a carbohydrate craving mode which triggers higher insulin levels in your blood. Low fat diets also tend to adversely affect your hormone processes in your body which can in turn thwart your efforts to lose fat and retain muscle.
Eating a diet complete with fats and carbs can actually speed up your fat burning.In addition, you will have much more energy.
Again,you should not eliminate or restrict the consumption of any food group. Diets that limit these will always fail at some point. All food groups (fats, carbs, and proteins) are essential and serve important functions in your body. When eaten in the right quantities and at the right times, they promote a vigorous, lean and healthy body. The key is knowing the right times and quantities.
Giving your body all the food groups will give you much faster and permanent fat loss.
