Lose Weight : Beware Of Bait

When you lose weight, especially quickly, we may very well not to lose fat, but only water and muscles; certain regimes "miracle" that were too restrictive illusory effect. Why?

Because in the early days of a very strict diet, you always lose weight, as glycogen, a substance present in the liver is the muscle is stressed, and this decrease in deposits quickly available energy causes water loss: two liters! And water, it weighs ... Other diets advocate a diet almost free of its salt, which is another opportunity to lose water, not fat. You lose weight, yes, but ... not fat! In case of return to normal diet, the body compensates faster water loss, restoring its glycogen stores and increasing its consumption of salt ... and the weight returns to its previous value in a minimum of time.




Moreover, when his body brutally deprives the number of calories it has usually, it starts the program "economy" by saying that the period of famine came. If the body does not have the time to learn a new "food philosophy", ie it must undergo a short regimen and severe, he will struggle to get back to normal operation after the diet. A diet too restrictive risk of triggering mechanisms of adaptation costs to revenues resulting a lower daily caloric need sometimes irreversible, and create gaps that will one day be harmful.
And more attempts are repeated, the more it confused our organization, who do not understand anything: result: after a few failed attempts, we finally gained a few pounds.

Weight gain and aging: I magnified, this is normal, I get older? Muscle mass tends to reduce fat and gaining ground, hence the weight gain with age, it is true. But this is not inevitable and is influenced primarily by the lack of activity that often comes with age. This is the conclusion arrived that scientists at the University of Colorado in the United States after they have seen the proportion of fat in women between 23 and 56 years who practiced endurance sports. The result was that, unlike the inactive women, the proportion of fat mass does not increase with age in sports. This observation demonstrates once again that regular physical activity, in addition to a healthy and balanced diet, is the most important weapon against weight gain.
