You’ve seen the ads: “Lose weight in just two weeks!” “Eat the foods you what and watch the pounds melt off!” “6 pound in 6 days!” If you need to lose some weight - and these days many Americans do- these easy weight lose programs are tempting. But as the adage goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
It should be no surprise the fad diets are flourishing. Currently, about one-third of all American adults are obese (20% over their desired body weight). Unfortunately, obesity is not easy to treat. While losing weight over the short term is relatively easy, keeping it off has proven to be much harder. The key to long- term weight lose is not a short term diets, but rather lifelong lifestyle changes.

In simplest terms, the golden rule to weight lose is to burn off more calories than you consume. Everyone understands this concept, but I think it has been simplified too much. Counting calories should be secondary to how you balance your diet between the essential macronutrients of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. If your goal is to lose body fat and increase muscular tone, you want to keep your metabolism roaring. First start by cutting out the unnecessary calorieswhile maintaining at least 1200 calories a day. Some of you are probably thinking, how can someone survive on only 1200 calories. Limiting your calories forces your body into a starvation yet survivor mode. You will lose weight but will also lose vital muscle tissue. Your skin will have thick flabby appearance instead of a smooth toned glow. So if your goal is to lose body fat and increase muscular tone, reve up your metabolism! Eat but eat clean.
