Are Low Calorie Diet Plans Successful

Some experts in the health industry would lead you to believe that low calorie diet plans are the best option for you to lose weight. I guess if their definition of low calorie would be lower than what you are now consuming than I would agree with them. But if their definition meant severely restricting your diet to unsustainable levels than I will very loudly disagree.

You may be able to restrict your diet for short periods of time which will allow you to lose some weight, but what happens after you have achieved your weight loss? Weight gain! Why? Because you would more than likely overeat after having starved yourself for any length of time. Not to mention, your body would have slowed down your metabolism to protect against the loss of caloric intake. There are plenty of people who have been dealt this blow after struggling weeks and months to lose weight. You probably have lost weight only to put it back on again.

The key is to control your metabolism and your daily calorie intake to maintain your desired weight. This can be done with an easy change in the foods you eat as well as avoiding some of the foods that prevent you from achieving your weight loss. Increasing you metabolism through increased activity will also help elevate you metabolism. You can easily increase your metabolism by changing a few of your daily activities. For example, walk instead of drive. Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
