How to Reduce Weight and Lose Body Fat

By Joen Devenport

1. The fat loss that occurs in those first few days will more than likely be a combination of fat, water and muscle.

2. If you are losing muscle it is because your body has gone into starvation mode and is in reality began to eat itself!!

3. Losing water is often something which happens at the start of the diet especially if you are suffering from any sort of water retentivity. This is only likely to have such a spectacular effect in the first week of your diet and will finally settle down.

4. Week 2 may not be so easy. You may start to feel hunger pangs or even food cravings.

5. The body moves into starvation mode thinking which it isn't going to receive enough food and so the metabolism slows down to counterbalance and the chances of you being able to lose weight becomes more .

6. Very soon after the first 7 -14 days you are likely to plateau. Your body requires time to adjust to the spectacular changes it is feeling and you may even experience a small weight gain. This is often the time when people give up. They haven't continued to drop off weight and they think their diet isn't working. They are plausibly right!

7. If you feel any form of spectacular weight loss it is extremel likely when you take up normal eating, to find that the weight goes back on just as rapidly and Many people even check that they are now stouter than they were when they started.

8. weight loss is a more precise science than most people realize. The body requires the appropriate nutrients to convert the fat into lean muscle, without these nutrients the body, will, as mentioned above, go into starvation mode and sustained weight loss would be very difficult.

9. Exercise is a essential part of any weight loss regime, especially if you are to maintain which weight loss.

10. Many people think they just need to do more exercise to lose weight and start jogging or visiting the gym and doing hours on a tread mill or cross trainer.

12. I have heard it said by some health gurus that it is 70% nutrition and 30% exercise. I have even heard others say that it is 90 % nutrition and 10% exercise. So although exercise is vital for your overall long full term success, you must make Certain that you are supporting your body with proper good quality nutrition, otherwise you are just wasting your time, damaging your health and doing nothing to drop off your weight or your body fat. - 31875
