Best At Home Workouts

I’m just going to get right into this and show you why reduced calorie diets actually make you fatter. I’m going to keep it simple and avoid complex, scientific explanations. After all, why make the phenomena of getting fatter after a reduced calorie diet complicated when common sense is enough to understand why this happens.

You all know the drill. You want to lose that ugly fat hanging off your midsection. So, you say, “I need to go on a diet!” Now, what you really mean is, “I need to go on a reduced calorie diet!” To set the recored straight, we are all on a diet. Your diet is what you eat, NOT what you don’t eat. What most people want to do is lose fat by REDUCING the amount of calories you eat.

The Reduced Calorie Diet Numbers Game

At first glance, it all comes down to numbers. There are 3500 calories in a pound of fat. So, if you create a deficit of 500 calories a day (500 more calories used than consumed), you should lose a pound of fat in 7 days. Simple, right?

Let’s see what really happens?

Let’s say you are eating 2500 calories a day and want to lose fat. So, you go on a reduced calorie diet and eliminate 500 calories a day. And in the beginning, what do you know, you start to lose some fat!

But then, the fat loss stops. So, since you are now eating 2000 calories a day, you decide to lower your caloric intake by 500 more. And, there you go again, fat loss starts. But after a while, it stops again.

So, if you follow the logic, your only choice is to keep reducing your calorie intake. And pretty soon you are eating an apple and a cracker and STILL NOT LOSING FAT!

Why Reduced Calorie Diets Don’t Work

While the math is simple, it is very complex when applied to the human body. Let me explain. Lets say you weight 200 pounds and start the reduced calorie diet like shown above. (You reduce your calorie intake from 2500 to 2000). You should lose a pound a week.

If this weight loss stayed constant…you would DISAPPEAR in 200 weeks! If you kept losing a pound a week, you would cease to exist if you kept at it for just under 4 years.

Why doesn’t this happen?

Because your body adjusts to the lower calorie intake!

And Here Is Why Reduced Calorie Dieting Makes You Fatter In The End…

When you get on the cycle of constantly reducing your calorie intake to keep the fat coming off, you eventually get to a point where you can’t keep doing it. You just end up eating so little you can’t stand it any more. And even if you try to make up the difference with exercise, you aren’t getting enough nutrients to recover from the exercise.

So, what do you do?

You end up going back to the 2500 calorie a day diet you started with. But here’s the problem… you’ve trained your body to only need 1500 calories. So what does it do with the surplus? Stores it as fat. And before you know it, you’ve not only gained back all the fat you lost, but EVEN MORE!

So do yourself a favor and avoid a fat loss plan that only relies on a reduced calorie diet. You will suffer unnecessarily, only to end up fatter in the end. But don’t lose heat, there IS a way to lose that ugly fat for good!

Coach Lomax Notes: Look, I’ll be honest with you. You ARE probably going to have to reduce your calorie intake to some degree because you are probably OVEREATING! But the reduced calorie diet is not the answer to your problem.

You need a COMBINATION of sensible diet and fat loss workout that strikes a balance between the calories going in and the calories being burned which RESULTS in your body eliminating fat. This is why I chose Warp Speed Fat Loss as the best fat loss workout. This combination of exercise and diet gets the fat off, and keeps it off… unlike the reduced calorie diet only disaster!
