The Problem with Diets

The source of your weight loss can be a real problem.

The problem with most so called "weight loss diets" is that you lose weight in the short term but you don't lose fat in the long term.

Weight loss can be achieved through the loss of muscle, bone, internal organs and significant amounts of water. However, instead of lowering your body fat and becoming leaner and more toned, you end up with a massive muscle tissue loss and dehydration both of which can dramatically slow down your metabolism, making you weaker and causing your body to literally hang on to fat at all costs.

If you want a fit, sexy, lean body the weight you lose must be through burning fat.

The only way to know if you've actually lost FAT is with body composition testing. For home body fat self-testing, I recommend the Accu-Measure skin fold caliper as first choice. Even better, get a multi site skin fold caliper test from an experienced tester at a health club.

The biggest weight loss mistake that most people make is going for the quick fix.

If you are serious about losing weight you must master Patience and Perseverance. If you want to lose FAT, not muscle, and if you want to keep the fat off for good, then you have to take off the pounds slowly.

To help you with all aspects of weight loss go to this highly recommended site Turbulence Training and start burning fat today.
