Did you know that alot of people who are overweight are actually starving themselves?
You see, we’ve been drilled for years that all we have to do is reduce the amount of calories we eat, and that will allow us to lose weight.
News flash guys, that isn’t the case. It’s not that simple.
When you drastically reduce the amount of calories you consume the body goes into panic mode. It thinks you are starving, so it turns on all the defense mechanisms to keep you from dying. It puts a lock down on fat stores, because you may need those to survive.
Starting this new nutrition program is always interesting because many times I find out that my most overweight clients usually aren’t eating enough food. I give them recommendations that are actually less then what they should be eating to maintain where they are at, and they are complaining that they can’t eat that much food.
