Achieving Fat Loss…<br />
For fat loss your body needs consistency, it needs to feel secure and it needs to be<br />
healthy. If you do not get these fundamental points right from the off, you are onto a<br />
losing battle. Unfortunately plenty of common misconceptions are still out there.<br />
Scenario...<br />
“Diet starts Monday...” You start by swapping your breakfast to a piece of fruit. Then<br />
lunch time comes and you’ll have just half of your sandwich. Then you’ll start to<br />
crave a latte in the afternoon, you are so tired! You feel unable to resist this and give<br />
in... Then the guilt kicks in and you decide to just have cereal for tea. We have ALL<br />
experienced this one way or another and I still see it in food diaries!<br />
There are so many things wrong with this. Your body cannot be expected to run on<br />
tiny amounts of food. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that a calorie only has two<br />
options; to be either used for energy or stored as fat. That’s not true. Protein and<br />
fat have far more important things to do first; like producing hormones, repairing<br />
tissue, building new tissues, building your brain cells, insulating your brain cells and<br />
so much more.<br />
Problem is that when this energy is denied and intake drops too low your body just<br />
gets clever. The body’s main priority will always come down to survival, and when<br />
this happens it won’t think you are just trying to lose a bit of weight, it will think<br />
“starvation... famine... PANIC”. And then things will start to shift; it will hold on to your<br />
fat but let go of the ‘energy expensive’ and ‘metabolically active’ lean muscle.<br />
Your muscle burns fuel, fat doesn’t. So all this means it’s now lowered your<br />
metabolism, got rid of your muscle, and kept the fat. Entirely the opposite of what<br />
anyone seeking long term fat loss would want.<br />
Start by eating BETTER, not LESS. Stop being scared of food, it’s not there to harm<br />
you, it’s there to protect you.<br />
