When you cut down your food intake for more than three days in a row on a strict diet, your body mistakes this as a signal that you are starving and automatically lowers your metabolism to conserve and store as much fat as possible. This makes it much more difficult to lose weight. Also, when you go off your diet, your metabolism is slow that anything over approximately half of what you used to eat before you started dieting will cause you to gain weight again. In short, diets have built in failure mechanisms that insures a discouragingly low success rate. |
