Have you ever tried a low calorie diet and found yourself hunched over the refrigerator in the middle of the night with the remains of an entire chocolate cake on your face?
Maybe nothing that drastic, but I'm sure you've tried the diets where you never eat enough and never get full enough. By the end of the day not only are you extremely cranky, but you are starving and would do anything, including convincing yourself that it isn't cheating, to just eat something.
But some diets make sense, don't they? Perhaps in theory.
Take for example, simply lowering your calorie intake.
An average person takes in about 2,500 calories per day. Take in less than that and you'll lose weight. Take in more and you'll gain weight. Right?
For a short time, yes. But then something happens within the body because the body has a survival method of its own. After a time, if you only take in 800 calories, the body will adjust to that 800 calories. Anything more and you'll gain weight. Anything less, and you'll lose weight. But, as I'm sure you know, taking in less than around 2000 calories a day makes anyone crazy with starvation.
You've seen it happen with celebrities all the time. They drop 40 pounds for a photo shoot or a music video and then suddenly they're fat again. This is why. For a time, the body drops the weight from the lower calorie intake, but the second the body adjusts, any additional calories skyrocket the weight right back up.
And that's just a stupid way to diet.
What if I told you there was a better way? No counting calories. No looking at labels to check for fat free items, no restrictions on what you can eat, and no low-carb mumbo jumbo.
All you have to do is learn the time of day that your body can best break down the food that you intake. That's it.
