Starvation Diet To Lose Weight
By Mr. Keith of www.IChooseThin.com
Can a person lose weight by starving? The answer is a resounding yes! If you are considering this as a weight loss option or as a diet then we suggest you think again. Losing weight by starving is not only a horrible way to lose weight it is also the unhealthiest way to lose weight. If you deprive yourself of calories your body shuts down the fat burning process and starts to just attack the muscle. Your body does not burn fat when you are starving and instead starts to burn the muscles. This is an ancient and basic human fact that dates back to early human physiology when survival was a daily task. Many young people try this method of starving themselves and do not even realize that they are on their way to a eating disorder. A great book for young people to read that is an easy an informative read is Faded Denim by Melody Carlson. This book can be considered a classic and is a must read for any young adult that is experiencing a eating disorder such as attempting a starvation diet. If you think that starving yourself is a way to drop weight fast you are right but there is a major flaw to this “diet”. The flaw is that when you do start to eat again your ancient human defense systems kick in once again. After you complete the starvation diet your body starts to store more and more calories by generating more and more fat cells. Most people do not know that human fat cells never, ever go away; they just get smaller when you lose weight. In a defense against future starvation from happening your body generates new fat cells which you will have till the day you die. This increase in fat cells is why you gain more weight than you lost. So....if you starve yourself to lose 20 pounds then shortly after you start eating again you will gain back 20+ pounds to help your body combat future struggles with starvation. The idea of starving yourself to lose weight is ridiculous and will not help you lose weight in the long run. If you want to lose weight and keep it off then educate yourself through the internet, the library and any books you can read. You must know the truth and the truth is that starving yourself is a horrible idea and one that not only will not work, but will also do you physical harm now and it sets you up for emotional health issues in the future.
