One of the most crucial errors people make when they try to lose fat and improve their health is severely restricting food intake. That doesn’t work. If you try to starve off unwanted fat, you are a playing a game you can’t win. To get the best results, you need to work with your body, not against it.
Our genetic programming gives our bodies the ability to control the production of enzymes, which, in turn, control every aspect of our metabolism. People who force themselves to stick with a crash diet will lose body weight, but it’s a very unfavorable type of weight loss. Typically, half of the pounds lost come from muscle tissue that is sacrificed. It’s very important to remember muscle is your body’s metabolic furnace. 70% of our daily calories burned are burned via our “Resting Metabolic Rate”, the more muscle you have the more calories you burn at rest!
