I do not eat anything! Why i can't lose weight ???

"For several days, I'm on a diet - I hardly eat anything" - sound familiar?

Hunger, malnutrition, very little food - these are the most common associations of the word "diet" in the minds of most people with a weight problem. Any plan for them, this is a limitation of the amount of food per day great knowledge famine. I'll give you eight reasons not to eat to lose weight.

Let's first define what I mean by "famine." Fasting is for me not only the acceptance of any food. Famine can take a very large restriction of calories per day, for example 40-50% or more in the basal metabolism. This is because your body cannot tell the difference between the two. If you're on the water and photosynthesis or receive too few calories, your body will react the same way and you will experience the following negative effects (noted here that this is a continuous and systematic starvation, and not methods of feeding cycle, as is the example of periodic famine).



1 fasting can affect your health

If you stay starve a long period of time can cause damage to the healthy body of essential nutrients it needs every day as essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, etc.. Will weaken your immune system, which will make you vulnerable to all kinds of diseases and infections violate the hormonal balance and can cause serious damage to your health in general.


 2. Hungry and sleep? I no belly!

You can survive for months without or with very little food. But after the first few days, your body says, "Hey, maybe this will be the amount of food that will do in the future then you can reduce energy consumption and save calories because you will survive. longer. "May sound funny, but translated into our language, this is what happens on the metabolic rate in your body.

Once the metabolism goes into economy mode, fuel calories drastically reduced. This is the main reason for losing weight after the initial stop, and download after the end of fasting.



3. Fasting we lose muscle mass! (Much)

Some of you may think that the muscles do not need it, but not really. First, the muscles are those which give a tight body shape. Admit that a body formed with more muscle is much better than the same body weight, but train and relax. Second, muscles are metabolically active tissue that burns a lot of calories, including fat. In fact, muscle burns fat. Losing even a few pounds of muscle will lead to a decrease in metabolic rate and reduce the body's ability to burn fat.



4 Fasting can make you fat in the future!

People do not think in perspective, but they are important to them. Dropped a few pounds in the next week, but not what will happen next. As they say: "We'll think about it."

Once you stop fasting, that cannot last forever, because of decreased metabolism and increases appetite, you will start to gain weight. Unfortunately, in most cases, people do not just return a weight, and add on top, borne entirely unnecessary fat. Here is a typical example of the change in weight and the rate of muscle fat before and two months after the famine:



Before fasting:

Weight: 80 kg (176 lb)

Fat: 25% (20 kg) (44 lb)

Lean body mass (fat): 60 kg (132 lb)



Two months of famine:

Weight: 81 kg (180 lb)

Fat: 29% (23.5 kg) (52 lb)

Lean body mass: 57.5 kg (127 lb)

Although in the example of fasting after the termination is added only an additional kilo, the difference in the change of fat-muscle ratio showed more muscle and less fat. This means a deformed appearance, a slower metabolism, weight gain easier and burning fat more difficult compared to the period before the famine. After further and further starvation things will continue to worsen until a person realizes that changing your eating habits and the balance between nutrition and sport is the right way.



5. Fasting increases the tendency of the body to store fat and reduces the ability to use it for energy

The first takes place by increasing the activity of enzymes responsible for fat accumulation, and second by reducing the activity of these enzymes that degrade them, and reducing the production of thyroid hormones. This change is maintained for some time, even after the fast is over. In other words, if you do not eat enough now, will accumulate more fat in the future.



6. Fasting increases appetite

It is clear that if fasting will be constantly hungry. But in reality, your hunger will be higher than normal after stopping fast before it starts. The reason is the increased activity of the hunger hormone - Ghrelin, which remained elevated for some time. It makes you use large amounts of food that you do not really need it weakened the ability of the body to assess the energy needs. Will overeat constantly unable to stop. It is in this context of decreased metabolism and increased the tendency of the body to store fat, which leads to a sharp rise in excess weight.



7. Fasting reduces your energy level and performance

While hunger feels constantly tired and did not have enough energy for everyday tasks, let alone exercise. Be concentrated and lethargic, which will interfere with your work, be it physical or mental work. Indeed, the sharp drop in energy level is the first thing you can try calories that day are too low.



8. Hunger negatively affects your social life

In addition, you will be tired, you will be constantly frustrated and without desire for social contact, if this is important to you. No one or two connections were terminated due to nervous tension and expression for the spouse after such a "diet."
