Destroying your Metabolism - Why 95% of Dieters Regain their Weight within 1 Year

You have to check out this study of how to lose 17lbs in 12 weeks, but in the process totally destroy your metabolism.

"Researchers at the University of Colorado placed 250 subjects on a well-designed diet plan. After 12 weeks the subjects lost 17 pounds of fat (good), but their resting metabolic rate decreased by 125 calories per day (bad). Because calorie-restricted diets lead to less muscle and lower metabolic rates, 95 percent of dieters regain all of the weight they lost within one year."

There's no way any of those dieters can say that this type of a weight loss plan was worth it. I bet they were feeling pretty good about themselves after 12 weeks, but then the tide started to turn...

Interested in how you don't have to fall victim to these metabolically destructive diet plans?

There's only one way.

Here's the answer if you haven't already figured out the one way to boost your metabolism naturally: You must add at least 3 days of strength training per week! Resistance training will help you build back up your lean muscle, which in turn will burn more calories throughout the day. This will help to offset a reduction in calories and will negate the loss of muscle fiber from dieting alone.

These workouts don't have to be marathons. The weight loss system that I use, doesn't ask for any more than 20 -30 minutes of exercise and you can do it right in the comfort of your own home. It's even more important as we age to start engaging in strength training. The latest studies on strength training done at Tufts University were conducted on 50+ year olds.

Do you know what they found?

The subjects were able to add 3lbs of muscle in 12 weeks and "elevated their resting metabolic rate by seven percent and increased their daily energy expenditure by 15 percent." And that was with minimal workout requirements. Imagine what you could do with a complete exercise program?

The bottom line is that it is never too late to start building back up your metabolism and now you know it is easier to get started than you think.

Best of luck on losing weight the safe and natural way through both diet and exercise!
