Weight Loss Secret -- Think Bodybuilding
This little known secret
has been used by bodybuilders
for sometime now to achieve
astounding results, including
healthy weight loss when necessary.
Keep in mind, however, that
bodybuilders also practice
the diet basics of healthy
weight loss...nutritionally
sound and balanced diets with
muscle building exercises.
The Bodybuilder's Weight Loss
Secret
Bodybuilders have successfully
overcome one of the toughest
obstacles to healthy weight
loss...a slower resting metabolic
rate.
Dieting to lose weight evokes
a strong counteraction by
the body to conserve energy.
When you start a diet, one
of the means to lose weight
involves eating fewer calories.
This acts as an alarm and
signals the body to prepare
for a future starvation state,
something your body is extremely
efficient at protecting against.
To counter the decrease in
caloric intake and help keep
you alive, your body conserves
energy by slowing down the
resting metabolic rate (number
of calories burned per day).
A slower metabolic rate results
in fewer calories burned than
normal, which conserves energy
and might allow for more fat
to be stored.
A drop in the metabolic rate
is one of the toughest obstacles
for dieters to overcome. Here's
a quick summary of what happens:
Start dieting by eating fewer
calories
Lose some weight
Signals starvation
Slower resting metabolic rate
(fewer calories burned/day)
Energy is conserved and extra
is stored as fat
Gain some weight
How does the resting metabolic
slow down? Muscle loss!
To fight against a slower
metabolic rate, bodybuilders
have mastered the science
of preserving (and building)
muscle -- the weight loss
secret!
Preserving Muscle when Losing
Weight
Two simple actions will help
to preserve muscle while dieting:
Eat More Protein
Add a lean protein source
to each meal
Add non-animal protein to
each meal
Drink a protein shake during
the second longest fast of
the day, after sleeping overnight.
This is usually between lunch
and dinner for most Americans
Start a Resistance Training
Program
To any aerobic workout, add
resistance exercises for the
major muscle groups

exercises can help you lose
