The Best Quick Weight Loss Diet

Posted by Guest Bloggers on May 12th, 2010 at 11:06am

When discussing weight loss, we are talking about the loss of actual body fat and the preservation of our muscle mass. When aiming to lose weight, specifically body fat, it is best to work towards losing around two pounds of fat each week. Thus in discussing which diet is best we will be focusing on a diet that will help specifically to lose body fat.

There are many fad diets that try to trick your body into losing weight, however your body is smarter than that. If you begin fasting or go on a diet that severely restricts your calorie intake, you may find that you end up gaining weight instead of losing it. That is because your body’s response to that type of diet is survival. Your body thinks that you are in danger, starving perhaps, thus it will do everything it can to preserve your energy stores, such as your fat. The first thing that happens is your metabolism slows down. Often when this happens you suddenly find yourself becoming tired and irritable. Then when you begin eating again, after fasting for example, your body will try to store up as much food as it can in case a similar situation happens again. You see, your body thinks that you are in a situation where there is very little food which is why fasting or low calorie diets are of little use.

If you are serious about wanting to know how to lose weight quickly yet still stay healthy and avoid your body storing up fat, the best diet focuses on eating very healthy food. Simply by eating a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables and eating whole grains instead of white carbohydrates, you will begin to lose weight. It is also a good idea to include low glycemic foods in your diet. Low glycemic foods take a long time to break down. You should also pass on simple sugars and saturated fats and saturated fats are stored on your body and simple sugars end up being stored as fat also. Low glycemic foods on the other hand keep your blood sugar levels stable and stimulate the production of glucagon, which is the hormone that instructs the body to burn fat.
