When you begin a strict diet, the body enters a state known as war economy. By drastically restricting the caloric intake with food, the body automatically reduces the amount you need or spent to maintain the basic functions that keep you alive. This is known as decreased metabolism. You will spend less calories per day.
When the diet is inadequate, metabolism becomes depressed. Every time consuming fewer calories, which, after a significant initial decrease, that excites you, the body enters what is known as a plateau. This means that the weight loss stops.
Suppose that you have gone on a diet of 2,000 calories daily to 1100. Your body loses fluid, fat and some muscle proteins. But above all, in those first four or five kilos that decreased, which has lost is fluid.
Noting that no longer lose weight, because what you spend has adapted to what you consume, the road will further reduce calories in their diet, reaching 800 or 700. Again recorded a decrease of weight, fat loss and muscle mass. Until we reach the next plate.
What is the path from that point? Further reduce calorie intake, because, otherwise, their body weight will not be mobile. Consume only 500 or 600 calories, to fall in fasting diets, unsustainable over time.
Where does all this lead? To you leave the meal plan, which will generate great anxiety. Begin to realize all tastes, with the lie that is just for today “and be amazed when, after ten days after leaving the diet, re-upload a lot more than I expected. When losing weight, lost fluid, fat and muscle mass. But to gain weight, recovers only liquid and fat. Lost muscle.
When you cut a strict diet, generally offset by carbohydrates or sugars. For every gram of glycogen formed from the sugars that are deposited in tissues will accumulate more than four grams of liquid, thus gain weight rapidly.
The sad story is that percentage, you are worse than the beginning. In the best case (which reaches the same weight I had when starting the system) in your body composition will be more fat and less muscle, and we know the amount of muscle mass that we will determine our metabolic rate, your muscular strength, our position, the health of our bones, etc..
A well-prepared diet, with scientific control, should not cause you to lose more than 1.2 kg for diet A well prepared, with scientific control, should not cause you to lose more than 1.2 kg per week, except those with significantly overweight, with cardiovascular problems, impaired metabolism, in which treatment should be faster.
There are over a thousand different diets to lose weight, but what no guarantees for the maintenance of the values over time. Losing weight is not difficult. It is really difficult to keep, and the only variable statistically associated with the maintenance of weight is accompanied by a personalized eating plan with exercise. The exercise is the only guarantee to maintain the weight achieved thus avoiding loss of muscle mass.
