You may be wondering: “what are food repairs for?” Well, as a matter of fact, most of the diet plans out there have certain common loopholes, and these food repairs are a way to fix those loopholes. These loopholes, if not fixed, would keep you from losing weight; worse, they might actually increase your body weight!
Many of the fad diet plans out there are either incomplete or broken. If we follow these diets “as is”, then we are sure to go in the wrong direction. For example, most diets would advice you to cut down heavily on your food intake. When you do that, you gain weight instead of losing it! Plus you suffer from malnutrition and lack of energy! Studies have pointed out that women who eat 400 calories less than their stipulated calorie requirements tend to suffer from abdominal obesity; in simple words, they acquire fat bellies!
These food repairs will help you achieve your weight loss goals quicker than otherwise!
1. Concentrate on protein rather than carbs: While carbs are an important ingredient of any healthy meal plan, what you should concentrate on is protein, in particular when you are trying to lose weight. Unlike carbs which give you short, sudden bursts of energy that last only for a short while, protein will keep you energetic for a longer time. With carbs, your body will gain more fat than energy; with protein, it is just the opposite.
Protein also helps you build strong lean muscle mass. Since lean muscles need a lot of energy to be maintained, your body has to burn your existing fat deposits in order to produce the extra energy. So that is another way protein can help you with weight loss!
2. Breakfast skipping is not the way to go: Breakfast skipping is something most of the obese people do; they tend to think that they will lose weight if they don’t eat breakfast. Wrong! Actually, the opposite happens. When you don’t eat breakfast, you are sending a signal to your body that there is a famine out there, and that to combat it, your body needs to store energy in the form of fat deposits.
When you starve, your body slows down your metabolism and stores fat instead of burning it! As you can see, skipping breakfast is of no use!
Breakfast is ideally there for one reason: to “break the fast”; that is, to offer your body with the first surge of energy. When your body gets enough food, it produces lots of energy and your metabolic rate is automatically increased. When that happens, you start losing weight!
