Why You Should ˇ§Just Say Noˇ¨

To Diets To Burn Fat (Part 1)

By Rob Poulos, Fat Loss & Fitness Expert & Creator of 'Fat Burning Furnace'

Fad diets, they all have one thing in common. Theyˇ¦re diets. They are like a pair of bell bottom pants. They are in for a couple of years and theyˇ¦re gone. Then they find theyˇ¦re way back just when the fitness professionals know we are ready to eat 'em up againˇKno pun intended. When you're trying to burn fat, you really should avoid these things like the plague.

Now, realistically many of these diets will provide some initial fat loss for many people. So you get some weight loss initially, but you could also lose some muscle on these programs too, and you know that losing muscle can spell disaster to your fat burning efforts. But the bigger problem with these diets is that most who follow outlandish diets gain back the fat they lost, and then some!

On top of that, they often recommend focusing too much on one type of food, which can lead to unhealthy eating habits. Iˇ¦ve found they are too strict to be realistically followed, especially for a long period of time, and theyˇ¦re no fun. And anything you can't follow as a lifestyle will not burn fat in the long run.

You see, the very concept of a diet is doomed to fail. Why? Diets are based in a temporary mindset. The fact that someone goes on a diet means they will have to come off of the diet. This is temporaryˇKwhy force yourself to lose 10 pounds when youˇ¦re just going to gain it back and then some when you go off of the diet? That may sound simple, but most people just donˇ¦t get itˇKthey look to diets as the answer to their weight and health problems. But theyˇ¦re not the answer, and they actually create more problems for you. People who are regular dieters don't burn fat over the long haul.

If you seek life long fat burning, health and fitness in a lean body, you should take some advice from my mom, and probably your mom too. When I think about it, probably the best base of nutritional knowledge I received was from my mom. For the most part, my mom was right. She didn't know anything about fat burning, but she made sure I got nutritious foods growing up.

She especially made a point to make sure I ate my vegetables, especially the green ones. She limited sugary stuff and other junk, but didnˇ¦t totally eliminate it, making it a special treat for me on occasion. She tried to provide a balanced offering of the different food groups throughout the day.

Thanks, Mom! Momˇ¦s diet was actually quite sound, and Iˇ¦ve found that heeding some of this advice in the pursuit of maximum fat burning and a lean healthy body for the rest of your life is a smart way to go.

You see, your body naturally craves foods rich in nutrients (antioxidants, phyto nutrients, fiber, vitamins, minerals, etc.) When you eat most of your meals from foods rich in important nutrients, your body will body will be satisfied and overeating wonˇ¦t be much of a problem.

You then begin to burn fat as a natural result of giving your body what it thrives on. On top of that, youˇ¦re lowering your risk for disease by promoting a natural alkaline environment in your body with these types of foods.

If you do the opposite and eat most of your meals from foods lacking in nutrients, youˇ¦ll keep eating and eating and eating to satisfy your nutrient needs. This leads to too many calories and a person who will just keep getting fatter and more prone to develop increased risk for disease with an acidic environment in the body. When this happens, you can just kiss fat burning goodbye.

So nutrition for fat loss, fitness, and health really all do go hand in hand. My Fat Burning Furnace students have changed their lives permanently, by simply altering what they put in their bodiesˇKand you can do it to.

Focus on foods rich in nutrients. In part two of this article, Iˇ¦ll get more specific in helping you make the transition from your current lifestyle to the one you desire. One where your body seemingly burns fat 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with little effort.
