The million-dollar question is how to lose stubborn belly and body fat.
Women want to lose it all from their hips and belly and men want to lose it from their stomach.
Everybody wants a lean physique, if only for vanity reason.
It is also a much healthier way to live! One of the most popular ways that people attempt to achieve this goal is a "diet".
It has become so popular that we are consistently finding new "fad" diets, which gain huge popularity and are usually sponsored by some celebrity or someone famous.
This is not entirely true.
Diets are just not as effective as we are led to believe.
Now the question you are now asking is, why? The reason is simple.
It is true that some diets might help to lose weight.
There are many flaws to this though.
One of the most important statistics, which is extremely overlooked, is your RMR, your resting metabolic rate.
It accounts for about 60-70% of the calories you expend on a daily basis.
The amount of lean muscle you have directly influences your RMR.
The more muscle you have, the higher you RMR will be.
The less you have, the lower it will be.
This is the reason why it is important to combine cardio with weight lifting.
This is also the reason why fad diets are not the most effective way to lose fat.
Any type of diet can (but not always) lead to weight loss, yet it will also lead to muscle loss.
And this muscle loss will decrease your resting metabolic rate, and your metabolism will slow down.
Your body will subsequently be more susceptible to gaining body fat.
Because the diet will slow down your RMR, once you start to eat normally again and eating more than you were, your body will naturally put on weight.
You will regain weight at an even faster rate, rendering all the dieting void.
This is something worth remembering before you take up one of these fad and popular diets.
Another problem with typical fad diets is that they can lead to water weight loss in the beginning and not true fat loss.
For example, this can occur on an excessively low-carb diet.
As muscle glycogen decreases, so does water loss from cells throughout the body.
This can essentially fool someone on a strictly low carb diet into thinking that they are losing fat, when it's possible that they are not.
Since there are so many of these diets and nutritional choices out there, and they are all being thrown at us constantly, it is hard to avoid them.
The fact though, is that there is a much more effective and healthier way to do it.
There is no magic diet or cure.
It takes a dedication to true nutrition as a lifestyle, choosing organic whole unprocessed foods for the majority of your calories, and allowing that abundance of micro-nutrients that you are consuming to help balance out your hormones and bring your caloric intake into a natural level that will allow permanent fat loss.
