If you need to lose fat, especially in those "hard to lose" trouble
areas, then you might as well throw in the towel and give up...
Thats right, a "miracle supplement" will come along to rescue
you... Or atleast thats what the supplement companies want you to
think.
The supplement industry is downright wicked. They want you to feel
helpless in the war against fat-loss. Making you believe that a
pill or powder will solve all your problems is their cash
generating bread and butter.
You're smarter than that, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this
newsletter. Unfortunately, the majority of the public isn't as
smart as you. They're still hoping on a $100 bottle to make them
sexy.
The chiseled, sexy, fitness model look is within your reach, but
let us tell you upfront, its not gonna be as easy as "they" want
you to believe.
However, depending on your goal, losing fat doesn't have to be hard
either. If you just want to shape up and look decent, then yes, it
can be pretty easy. If you want to be a human anatomy chart, then
its going to take more time.
Firstly, its important to note that dieting is dangerous. Yes,
dieting is downright dangerous. Here's why:
Dieting implies severe calorie restriction for some time. The most
popular "diet fad" right now is the 1200-1400 calorie diet plan,
and if you're serious about being healthy and keeping the fat off
in the long run, then this "diet" plan may just be your worst enemy.
The reason these 1200-1400 calorie diet plans are popular is
because they work, but only for some time. Any time you drastically
cut calories, your body will respond by losing weight...
But, you'll also end up losing lean muscle, create a nutrition
deficiency, ruin your metabolism, and teach your body to store fat
in the future.
Cutting calories triggers a "starvation response", a very
well-known scientific term meaning the body senses that it is being
starved. And, since fat is basically stored energy, the body tries
to "survive" by trying to hold on to as much fat as possible.
The end result is, in the long run, when you resume "average"
eating habits, your body is now trained to store as much fat as
possible, and thus, you gain the weight back and it becomes harder
and harder to lose it.
Another good way to put it is that you get "progressively fatter
with less food."
Thats right, the body's starvation response has trained it to
"cling" to the fat in the food you eat.
Pills don't work.
It's as simple as that.
