Ineffective Dieting Approaches: Chapter 2 -- Part Two
In this 2nd part of Chapter 2 called "Ineffective Dieting Approaches" -- I will cover how most people approach dieting! This information will help you to understand why this is approach can't help you to create permanent fat loss! When a person consumes more calories than their body can realistically burn off by the end of the day -- he or she gains more weight that they are comfortable with, eventually they decide to go on a diet.
When they start to follow a low calorie or a fad diet, these dieting approaches create a temporary calorie deficit, and they lose some scale weight. When the diet ends, the person goes back to eating normally, meaning -- consuming more food than their body can burn off during the day, and the weight comes back. The way this vicious (weight loss/weight gain) cycle plays itself out is something like this: Let’s say that you weigh 175 pounds. Your maintenance daily calorie intake is about 2500 calories per day, taking into account a moderate physical activity level. Now let’s further imagine that on the average day, you start to consume 2600 calories. This means that on a daily basis, your body is taking in and storing 100 calories more than it needs to maintain your current weight. This means that every 35 days you will gain one pound of body fat. There is 3500 calories in one pound of body fat (35 x 100 calories = 3500 calories). When the 100 extra calorie intake per day continues, over the course of a year, you would gain more than 10 pounds of unwanted body fat. This is the actual pattern for the majority of the people that gain excess weight. Considering that one small cookie contains about 50 calories, it is very easy to over-consume 100 calories on a daily basis.....that is an ineffective dieting approach!.
Once you reach 185 pounds, and this becomes more weight than you can comfortably live with, you decide to go on a Chicken Breast Miracle Diet. On this diet you consume nothing but rice, vegetables and boiled chicken breast, along with all the spinach that you can eat! You start this diet and you are consuming only 2000 calories per day, which is 500 calories below your maintenance daily calorie intake. And you are hoping that in 70 days you will lose the ten pounds of scale weight. The day you go off this diet, what most likely will happen? First, you are probably going to eat a lot more than normal, because you have been eating nothing but rice, vegetables, spinach and boiled chicken breast for seventy days. Then you will settle into your normal eating pattern that you had before you started following this diet. And eventually all of the weight that you lost -- will be gained back! This is why low calorie and fad diets do not work for the majority of the people that use them to lose unwanted body fat. These approaches can create some short term weight loss results but then you go off the diet and gain all that weight back. By the way, this was just an example, and in reality a low calorie diet or a fad diet (like my Chicken Breast Miracle Diet with Spinach) never goes this smoothly. From here you can go back to the
