If you really want to lose weight, don't diet!

If you lose weight while dieting – It’ll be back...

According to dietitian, Malissa Majumdar, dieting just doesn't work. She says taking certain foods out of your diet and going low-calorie is not something your body can sustain because you’re actually depriving it of fuel. Underfeeding yourself tricks your metabolism to be more efficient and use fewer calories for energy. When the body goes without enough fuel during a diet, it gets nervous, thinks it is starving and CONSERVES fat, much like an animal in hibernation. The same thing happens when meals are skipped or the body goes longer than four hours without fuel. 

The most efficient way to shed pounds is to make some lifestyle changes you know you can really stick to. Try eliminating items like soda or processed foods – and plan on giving them up for good.
