why fat loss diets fail
DESCRIPTION
Learn the science behind why dieting virtually always fails to achieve lasting fat loss. The simple reason why diets fail is this: They put you into a fight against your own biology. All that will get you is short-term weight loss, followed by weight regain and an even slower metabolism than you have now. Fat loss is not about willpower and deprivation. It's time to start working with your biology instead of against it. *********COPY AND PASTE LINK BELOW TO SEE THE BOOK ON AMAZON.COM********* http://tinyurl.com/ariwhitten-fflTRANSCRIPT

Why Do Diets FAIL?
Diets (i.e. calorie restriction) rely on a very simple principle
The First Law of Thermodynamics
Diets (i.e. calorie restriction) rely on a very simple principle
The First Law of Thermodynamicswhich states...
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed
Which caused people to believe that fat gain and fat loss are a simple matter of...
Calories in(food)
Calories OUT(exercise + metabolism)
Therefore, based on this idea, all you have to do to lose fat is ...
EAT LESS CALORIES AND BURN MORE CALORIES
So that CALORIES OUT > CALORIES IN
EAT LESS CALORIES AND BURN MORE CALORIES
So that CALORIES OUT > CALORIES IN
FAT LOSSExercise Diet
Therefore, based on this idea, all you have to do to lose fat is ...
To illustrate this idea, let's say you start off in a situation where you are taking in
and burning about 2,000 calories per day...
2,000
Calories You Eat
Calories YouBurn
2,000
Then you decide to go on a 1,300 calorie per day diet...
1,300
Calories You Eat
2,000
Calories YouBurn
2,000
1,300
Calories You Eat
2,000
Calories YouBurn
Therefore, based on this logic, your body is now burning 2,000 calories, but since you are only taking in 1,300, your body is forced to get
those missing calories from somewhere.To do that, the body burns off 700 calories of
body fat per day.
2,000
Voila...Fat loss!
It's that easy! All you have to do is eat less!
But wait a minute...
It turns out that's not really what the first law of thermodynamics states...
The first law of thermodynamics actually DOES NOT state
that if you burn more calories and eat less calories, your body will burn off your fat.
FAT LOSSExercise Diet
It only states that
If you burn more calories and eat less calories, your body must respond to that by DOING SOMETHING!
Exercise Diet
BODY MUST DO SOMETHING
What is that "something?"
Well, it's actually more like 3 somethings....
CALORIE DEPRIVATION from diet + exercise
(by decreasing thyroid hormone)
METABOLISMSLOWDOWN
Decreased exercise and decreased NEAT
(non-exercise activity calorie burning)
FATIGUE
(to further slow metabolism)
MUSCLEDESTRUCTION

(by decreasing thyroid hormone)
METABOLISMSLOWDOWN
Decreased exercise and decreased NEAT
(non-exercise activity calorie burning)
FATIGUE
(to further slow metabolism)
MUSCLEDESTRUCTION
ALL OF THESE ARE DESIGNED TO DRAMATICALLY REDUCE "CALORIES OUT"
Between those 3 things, your body can decrease calories burned each day by
HUNDREDS of calories...
So what actually happens when you go on a diet looks more like this...
2,000
Calories You Eat
Calories YouBurn
2,000
You start off here...Taking in and burning about 2,000
calories per day
2,000
Calories You Eat
Calories YouBurn
2,000
1,300
Then you go on a 1,300 calorie diet
You DO get an initial period of weight loss...
But here's where things get tricky...
Instead of continuing to BURN 2,000 calories per day and burning off 700
calories of body fat each day...
Your body simply does this...
2,000
Calories You Eat
Calories YouBurn
2,000
1,300 1,300It brings "calories out" down to match your new level of "calories in"
Calories You Eat
Calories YouBurn
And that means NO MORE FAT LOSS!
1,300 1,300
And it's actually much WORSE than just that...
1,300
Calories You Eat
Calories YouBurn
1,300
1,500 Because as soon as calories increase even just a little bit...
Even if you're still eating far LESS food than you used to eat normally
1,300
Calories You Eat
Calories YouBurn
1,300
1,500 You are now in a calorie SURPLUS!
Now you’re getting fatter on a LOWER calorie intake than you were eating
normally!
This is the reason why...
over 90% of Biggest Loser
participants GAIN BACK all the weight they lose during the show!
The study found that the reason why they gained back all the weight was NOT because they stopped dieting and exercising—but because of
“METABOLIC ADAPTATION.”

Their metabolisms slowed down so much from the
dieting and exercise that they were burning over 500
calories per day LESS than they were before!

In other words...
In reviewing the studies on dieting and weight loss, Traci Mann notes that short-term weight loss from dieting does occur, but…
“these losses are not maintained... It is only the rate of weight regain, not the fact of weight regain, that appears open to
debate.”2 years after diet begins: 95% of people gain back all the weight they lost
3 years later: 41% weigh MORE than when they started the dietGarner D.M., & Wooley, S. C. et al. (1991). Confronting the failure of behavioral and dietary treatments for obesity.

So there are really two COMPLETELY different kinds of fat loss...
SHORT-TERM: LONG-TERM:
THE 2 KINDS OF FAT LOSS
The “eat less and burn more” approach always WORKS here!
SHORT-TERM: LONG-TERM:
THE 2 KINDS OF FAT LOSS
The “eat less and burn more” approach always WORKS here!
SHORT-TERM:
The “eat less and burn more” approach virtually always FAILS here!
LONG-TERM:
THE 2 KINDS OF FAT LOSS
So if you just want to get lean for a bodybuilding or figure show, or your wedding day, or your high school reunion, and you don't care if you balloon back up to your
previous weight afterwards...
Then doing a low calorie diet works perfectly.
But if you want to GET LEAN and STAY LEAN for life, dieting
is simply NOT going to work
The typical cycle of a person who goes on a diet looks like this...
YOU'RE FAT
YOU'RE FAT Your trainer/nutritionist tells you "Just burn more calories
and eat less calories"
YOU'RE FAT Your trainer/nutritionist tells you "Just burn more calories
and eat less calories"
Short-term weight loss
YOU'RE FAT
Short-term weight loss
FAT LOSS STOPS DUE TO METABOLISM SLOWDOWN
(and decreased NEAT, and muscle destruction)
Your trainer/nutritionist tells you "Just burn more calories
and eat less calories"
YOU'RE FAT
Short-term weight loss
FAT REGAIN
Your trainer/nutritionist tells you "Just burn more calories
and eat less calories"
FAT LOSS STOPS DUE TO METABOLISM SLOWDOWN
(and decreased NEAT, and muscle destruction)
YOU'RE FAT…AGAIN
Short-term weight loss
FAT REGAIN
Your trainer/nutritionist tells you "Just burn more calories
and eat less calories"
FAT LOSS STOPS DUE TO METABOLISM SLOWDOWN
(and decreased NEAT, and muscle destruction)
Are you sick of going through this cycle that doesn't lead anywhere?
Are you sick of dieting and suffering through deprivation and hunger pangs,
only to regain all the fat 6 months later?
According to obesity researcher and neurobiologist Stephan Guyenet
“If there's one thing that's consistent in the medical literature, it's that telling people to eat fewer
calories does not help them lose weight in the long term.”
THEY PUT YOU INTO A FIGHT AGAINST YOUR OWN BIOLOGY!
The reason diets fail is because
And fighting against your biology is simply not a battle you can win in the
long run.
But don't be discouraged!
There is a way you can achieve permanent fat loss...
Want to know the secret of how to really achieve lasting fat loss?
By working WITH your biology instead of against it, you can
achieve lasting fat loss.
Effortlessly.
The secret is that fat loss is NOT about willpower and deprivation.
It's about BIOLOGY.
And the best part is this:
• I won’t ask you to eat less food.
• I won’t ask you to eat low-carb.
• And I won’t ask you to do any sort of crazy workouts.
