Hey guys, how many of you have been on any number of fad diets and wondered why they just don't seem to work in the long term !!. Our bodies are very clever machines, so if we start restricting calorie input that is well below our own individual needs, then we start to put on more fat stores. This is often referred to as the "starvation mode".
As a human being we are roughly 2% different from when we lived in caves and were hunter gatherer's, so food was at a premium hence our bodies stored food as fat because we were unsure of when our next meal was coming from.
Think of yourself as a Steam Train, if you only have 1 meal a day you are slowing your metabolic rate down hence the train gets slower and slower and more sluggish, so you store more fat.
However if you keep regular intervals of food going in you will raise your metabolic rate and become a more efficient fat burning machine, hence the steam train gets faster and faster and more productive.
Remember we have teeth for a reason, and we need fuel to operate at our optium levels, so eat small regular meals every couple of hours, always aiming for organic or freerange where possible, and start to feel youself becoming healthier, happier and more alert.
Keep Healthy Keep Strong
