Boosting Your Metabolism: The Real Key
Your metabolism is basically the rate at which your body burns calories. The importance of this should be extremely obvious. The faster your body burns calories the faster you will be able to burn the excess fat off your body. But having a fast metabolism doesn't only help you to burn fat fast, it also helps you to keep that fat off for good. That's why a weight loss aproach that focuses on boosting the metabolism is the best way to get long term results.
Low Calorie Diets Slow Your Metabolism Down
The biggest reason not to start a low calorie diet is that such a diet makes your body go into "starvation mode" which essentially means that your metabolism is slowed down to the point where you are burning very few calories because your body thinks it needs to hold onto it's energy for the future. This is why you can sometimes lose very little weight even when you are eating very little food. But really isn't it a good thing that this approach doesn't work very well? Because it's not very much fun to starve yourself anyway!
Taking Time Off From Dieting
One very effective method for speeding up the metabolism to take some time off from dieting every week. For example you could have one day every week where you can eat anything you want. This makes your body think that you are not only getting plenty of calories, but that you are actually getting too many. This can have the effect of helping your body to actually burn fat off faster. So not only do you get to enjoy your favorite foods (even if they aren't good for you) once a week but it has the amazing effect of helping you lose weight faster.
