Calorie Restriction Diets Don't Work Long-Term

Posted Aug 26 2008 4:34pm

Have you ever lost 30-40 pounds and gained back 50 pounds? If you have, there is a reason. If you only diet and not exercise, most of the weight you lose will be muscle mass instead of fat mass. Also, your metabolism will not speed up. That is why you gained the weight back---and more! The best way to lose weight is to train with weights, do cardio exercise and have a sound diet. The weights will build muscle while burning fat at the same time. And the good thing is that the fat will not come back as long as you maintain your weight training. Building muscle will also speed up your metabolism which will make your body a calorie-burning machine! This process takes longer, but the effects are permanent. And you will be much healthier. The fringe benefit? You will love how you look!
