LOW-CALORIE DIETING

Considerable amounts of scientific research has proven that, "you will lose body fat if you consume less calories than you expend in daily energy requirements for body metabolism and physical activity."

How does this diet work?

By lowering your caloric intake, by limiting your intake of fats, and consuming large quantities of complex carbohydrates and proteins and then burning more calories than are consumes will result in weight loss.

Why does this diet work?
1. Your body will metabolize stored fat to meet its energy requirements.
2. Your body’s preferred source of energy is carbohydrate foods.
3. It is maintainable
4. Will place you into a negative-caloric balance. Result: you loose weight.

Are there any side effects?

For some the low calorie diet may cause hunger, loss of energy, dizziness, depression and fatigue. Again these effects vary from person to person and can only be seen by experimenting with your self and these diets.

How do I do it?

Determine your caloric maintenance level prior to starting your diet. Begin by writing down the amount of food you consume during a week, total your calories, divide by seven, and this is the amount of daily caloric intake you may receive to maintain a steady body weight.

Gradually reduce and then remove high-sugar foods, and fatty foods from your diet. Following are some sample menus:

Breakfast	Egg whites Whole grain hot cereal Slice of watermelon Coffee Supplements
Lunch	Tuna sandwich Iced Tea 1 Fruit Supplements
Dinner	Broiled fish Rice Green vegetable Supplements
Snack	Dry baked potato Carrot and celery sticks

Breakfast	Bowl of cold cereal w/ skim milk Dry toast Glass of orange juice Supplements
Lunch	Tossed salad w/ low-fat dressing 2 Cups of pretzels Supplements
Dinner	Spaghetti Low-fat pasta sauce Green vegetable Supplements
Snack	1 Fruit 1 Cup jello

*tip: record your eating habits, calories, and fat grams. Try not to exceed 30-40 grams of fat each day. Use a calorie and fat gram counter to help you and maybe a scale to weigh your food.

Sorry to disappoint you, but WHEN you eat your dinner has less of an effect on your waist-line than WHAT you eat for dinner. Essentially, when it comes to losing weight, it's really just a calorie or numbers game. If you regularly eat more calories than you need for the day -- no matter when you eat them -- you are going to add extra pounds to your body. It doesn't matter if the extra calories are eaten before the sun sets or after the sun goes down...the bathroom scale is not sensitive to timing. However, it does notice if you accumulate excess calories on a regular basis.

The Low Calorie diet requires taking a look at where you are now, and visualizing where you want to be. If you need to get thinner or drop pounds, you need to gradually reduce your calories and increase your activity level. Try Thermogenics, Creatine, and other Energy Enhancers to keep your metabolism running high and your energy level going through the roof!
