The Low Carb Craze and Other Dieting Mistakes
2008-05-15来源:
Dear BMTers,Low carb this and low carb that?that's all you hear nowadays. Kinda reminds me of something that was the craze a few years ago?The Low or No Fat Craze?Can you remember where that got us? Still Fat!!!Well my friends this Low Carb Craze is going to bring us to the same exact place?Yep?Still Fat!Listen, anyone who tries Low carb dieting will experience some Short Term success?but it's only short term.I know some of you are tired of hearing me repeat myself but any diet or exercise machine in and of itself will not work!A successful Fitness Program must incorporate 5 Strategies:1. A Compelling Reason to Change2. Proper nutrition3. Progressive Resistance Training4. Moderate Aerobic Exercise5. ConsistencyIf you're missing any one of these strategies you will not experience the success that you crave.Why the Low Carb diets without Progressive Resistance Training will not work in the long run.We need to build lean muscle on our bodies.Why do we need to build lean muscle on our bodies? Building lean muscle will boost metabolism and that is what we want to achieve.You'll even start burning more calories even while you rest. Right now I'm going to let you in on one of the biggest secrets on burning fat ever revealed:Lean Muscle Burns Fat!And, the more lean muscle you have, the more fat you will burn. That is a statement that you can take to the bank! I guarantee it!Listen, all these people that go on these Fad diets are really losing water and lean muscle weight.They Are Not Losing Any Fat Whatsoever!How can they be if I just got finished telling you that in order for us to lose any fat,(and I did mean any fat!) you must have lean muscle tissue for the fat to go be burned up in?Our bodies are smart; our fat just can't go away it must be burned up in a muscle cell.And if you're not doing any Progressive Weight Resistance Training, well then, you're not building any new lean muscle tissue.Which means, you guessed it?you won't be burning fat any time soon!!!Don't you see? The people that go on these Fad (starvation) diets turn into "skinny fat" people. Sure they lose weight, but they lose the wrong kind of weight.Since these people usually don't perform any weight resistance training and are only probably taking diet pills, and doing hours of aerobic exercise, they are losing water (from the low calorie, low carb diet) and lean muscle (from doing to much aerobic exercise and not having the right amount and the proper ratios of food in their bodies).So what is left?FAT!!!They have no muscle tone whatsoever! What these people should be doing is learning how to lift weights and get stronger progressively! The only way to do that is?Get A Little Stronger Each And Every Workout If you're not getting stronger each and every workout than you are doing something wrong!Then all you have to do is add: A Compelling Reason to Change, Proper nutrition, Moderate Aerobic Exercise, and Consistency to be SuccessfulA great example of dieting the wrong way in my opinion is Anna Nicole Smith's recent "weight loss".From a distance she looks great! But get closer and clear the smoke and you will find that she transformed herself into what I explained before a "skinny fat person".Did you hear her interviewed lately on shows like Larry King Live and Regis and Kelly?She says she takes Trim Spa's Ephedra Free Diet Pills. And she eats like only once per day if she's lucky. And I would bet my life, kids, wife, and the house that she never ever does a workout with weights on a consistent basis!!!So let's see what happened?Most people think that to lose excess body fat, they must stop eating altogether. This is where they are totally wrong. Starvation?(what else would you call not eating?) triggers a metabolic response where, your metabolism will actually slow down and become more efficient in order to preserve body tissue in the case of a shortage of future nutrition.This is precisely what we don't want. Another way people think they're "eating right" is having fruit & Coffee for breakfast, a salad for lunch, and a bowl of pasta for dinner. - Nope, that's not the answer either. Some people don't eat anything the whole day and "save the
