The Body's Response to Dieting:

Why Traditional Weight Loss Diets Don't Work

If you've ever gone on a diet,you've learned two things: dieting is no fun. And even if you lose some weight,you usually gain it back. But why is that?

Metabolism

Repeated diets cause your body to slow down its metabolism.But when you end your diet, your body isn't used to burning all those calories, so it stores the leftover ones as fat.
Fat-Storing Enzymes

LPL enzymes store fat. When you diet, the LPL become more active and grow in number. When you finish your diet, the LPL levels don't return to normal until you regain most of the weight you lost.
Calorie Absorption

Dieting makes your intestines very good at absorbing and storing up calories. Exactly what you don't want when you're on a weight loss diet to lose pounds.

The Body Fat Dilemma

Poor dieting can make you fatter than you were before. When you lose the weight, it often comes from water and muscles. But when you gain it back, it returns in the form of fat. So you wind up with a higher proportion of fat to lean muscle than you had before.

Hormonal Disruptions

Low cal weight loss diets make your thyroid gland produce less of the hormone that regulates metabolism. And that can reduce your calorie burning ability by up to 15%. Not helpful for anyone trying to lose weight.

Skipping Breakfast

Calories taken early in the day are burned off faster than those eaten at night. In fact, eating all your daily calories for breakfast can lead to weight loss, eating them all at night leads to weight gain.

Training Your Stomach

The stomach can be trained over time to adapt to smaller meals and snacks taken throughout the day. When the stomach is smaller, it will fill faster and demand less food.

Beating Your Body's Defense Mechanisms
1. Don't yo-yo diet. Come up with a healthy weight loss diet plan and see it through until you get results.
2. Don't drop calorie intake below 1,000 a day.
3. Include fiber in any weight loss diet plan.
4. Avoid simple carbs like sugars.
5. Drink caffeine in moderation.
6. Never go hungry.
7. Eat more of your daily calories early in the day and less of them later.
8. Be content with slow weight loss.
9. Keep the weight off with exercise.
One More Thing

Even following these guidelines, some people who are obese or very overweight find it difficult to lose weight. For them, medication may help to support their weight loss diet.

When used along with a healthy, balanced diet and an active life, studies have shown that Xenical can help lose weight by blocking fats from being absorbed.It also helps keep the weight off over time. If you are very overweight or obese, ask your doctor if Xenical might be right for you.
