Crash Diets - Why They Never Work

When it comes to losing weight, most people will try just about anything, including the good old crash diet. Here's a look at why these diets never work and how you can avoid the frustration of trying to lose weight this way.

Naturally, we all see those TV and magazine ads showing how sexy you can look in only a few days or weeks with that "new" diet plan. It sounds so good and so tempting, but the weight you are losing is nothing more than water weight and some carbs. It is not fat loss, which is what you need to lose in order to slim down.

What happens when you starve the body is that your metabolism slows down. Your body goes into "emergency" status and lives longer on less energy so to speak. Then, when you quit this new crash diet plan and start eating again, your body decides to protect itself by storing more food in case of another "emergency" in the future. It not only is useless in losing weight, but it is not healthy as well.

Forget the crash diets, instead, think about modifying your behavior towards eating. By changing just a few simple behavior patterns you can experience the weight loss success you've been looking for.

Fat Loss For Idiots can help you dramatically in this area. So, stay away from the crash diets. You will only be disappointed and frustrated, not to mention being left with more weight to have to try and lose afterwards.
