Trick to Lose Weight and Burn Fat
When the average person wants to lose weight they have a knee jerk reaction to cut their calories severely. They feel this is the right thing to do because others have done it and they are initially rewarded with temporary weight loss. But severely cutting your calories will backfire in short order and you will mess up your metabolism. There are two reasons why this is the case.
If you have ever cut your calories severely you are aware that the hunger cravings can be overwhelming. Anything and everything looks good to you. This happens because your body is getting the nutrients that it needs to function. So it sends signals to your brain telling you that you are as hungry as a horse. This will break the average individual. They will fall into the pattern that many before them have. They will eventually give in and overeat and then will gain even more weight than they initially lost. They gain weight so quickly because they have slowed their metabolism to a crawl.
The other problem that you create for yourself is that a few of your hormones fall off the shelf and this triggers your body to begin to conserve calories. Your goal is to burn calories but severe calorie restriction actually causes the opposite response. It slows down your ability to burn calories in a move that is akin to self preservation.
As some hormones are decreasing, others are increasing greatly. Two of those are insulin and cortisol. Unfortunately when they begin to increase it results in fat storage. In the case of cortisol it specifically results in fat storage in the belly area. If you understand this you will see that cutting calories in a severe manner will actually cause you to gain weight.
But you can perform a little trick to confuse your body instead of simply continually cutting your calories. What you can do is to change the amount of calories that you consume every week. I am not simply talking about throwing in a cheat day or a cheat meal every now and then. This is referring to altering the number of calories that you consume for one solid week.
This method will help repair your metabolism and will confuse you body and trick it into burn more calories and in turn burn more body fat. In doing this, you will not be struck with tremendous hunger cravings that cause you to abandon your diet and it will keep your hormones in line so that you keep your fat burning capability running effectively.
Now you are going to want to perform this trick with the kinds of foods that contribute to burning belly fat. All calories are not created equal. You will want to avoid foods with a high glycemic index, eat foods high in fiber, eat more protein, etc. Rather than go into it here, it is easier if you read 7-Day Belly Blast Diet.
