Why Do So Many Fail At Losing Weight & Burning Fat?

Francesco — Thu, 05 Nov 2015 08:22:56 +0000

It’s no secret that the vast majority who seek to lose weight and burn fat have a very low success rate, despite trying a large number of proposed solutions. From fat burning supplements to strange diet plans, nothing is off limits for someone who wishes to burn off their excess belly. But despite weight loss being such an important goal for millions of people, why are so many seemingly becoming fatter by the day?

Firstly, many fail at achieving results due to the weight loss supplement lie. Countless companies claim that a pill or powder is going to melt fat from anywhere on the body; this on the surface sounds very appealing, as who would not want to simply swallow a pill once or twice per day without modifying diet or exercise habits? That is the dream solution, and weight loss supplement companies pump many millions of dollars into powerful advertising that convinces many that this is a viable option. Unfortunately, it’s not, and despite substantial weight loss supplement dollars being invested by many without results, most do not learn their lesson, and continue to experiment in vain.

Secondly, fad diet plans that erroneously promise fast weight loss results are the norm. Many who begin such strategies see immediate changes in their body weight, believing that they are on the road to achieving all of their fat loss goals, but in fact, the weight reduction is in the form of water loss from a low carbohydrate level, and once the body flushes excess water, body weight stabilizes, and that initial weight loss comes to a halt. What’s worse, metabolism slows, especially in low carbohydrate or calorie deprived diet plans, and progress crashes because the body begins trying to retain fat in presence of what is perceived to be a famine. Yes, such diet plans mimic starvation type situations to the body, which breeds low energy levels, and primes fat cells to store as much calories as possible the moment any extra food is consumed. It’s a recipe for disaster.

Lastly, commitment to change is low. When weight loss supplement advertisers go out of their way to deceive the public by claiming that fat will be shed without diet changes by using a miracle pill, many simply write off the idea of modifying eating habits, and set themselves up for perpetual failure. But I will place less blame on the individual and more on dishonest weight loss supplement companies, because it’s very difficult for someone to embrace dietary change when they are being deceived into believing that they can eat the same way while looking much different. How is someone going to embrace a new diet path when it’s so difficult to find a plan that actually works, especially while simultaneously being bombarded with weight loss supplement advertising that promises it’s not even necessary to search for one, because they have the answer in a bottle, with no behavior change necessary?

I wrote Fat Vanish with the specific intention of destroying the many weight loss myths, and replacing them with a proven diet and exercise plan that is realistic, healthy, and most importantly, actually burns fat! If you’re tired of seeking answers from false sources, then give Fat Vanish a try, and you will SEE weight loss results that you never thought possible.

Why A Low Calorie Diet Plan Will Slow Fat Loss

Francesco — Thu, 05 Nov 2015 08:20:04 +0000

Those who seek to quickly burn fat often opt for low calorie diet plan to try and produce the best possible results, feeling as if cutting food quantity to extremely low levels will force the body to use more stored fat as energy. Unfortunately for those who mistakenly construct a natural fat loss diet plan on a low calorie basis, results do not meet expectations.

When the body experiences an extreme calorie deficit, the first response is to utilize carbohydrates stored in the liver and muscle tissue as energy, since food quantity is low. This causes what appears to be immediate success, as scale weight drops dramatically (sometimes up to 5-10 lbs in one week), but the presumption is that this weight reduction is in the form of fat, when, in fact, due to the loss of carbohydrates in muscle tissue, the weight loss is actually in the form of water retention, which has no connection with the goal (to burn fat from problem areas).

Once carbohydrates have been depleted from the body, the next step is to seek alternate energy sources to fuel daily activities (since calories are low), but because the body becomes concerned with the small amount of food consumed, instead of efficiently burning away stored body fat as the preferred source of energy, muscle tissue is instead catabolized. This occurs since the body actually attempts to preserve body fat in case a famine is taking place (this is a built-in mechanism that we all have to protect ourselves when food supply is low). A vicious cycle then begins, because as muscle is burned away, metabolism (the rate at which the body burns calories) slows, which causes energy levels to drop significantly, and ultimately reduces the amount of fat that is burned from the body by a substantial margin.

Lastly, because metabolism has been negatively impacted by the muscle loss and starvation scare, the body is just waiting for the moment when food intake is increased, seizing on this as an opportunity to store away fat at record pace to prepare for the next possible famine. This is why those who follow low calorie diet routines tend to gain back all of their lost weight quickly, and find themselves even fatter than before they started to follow such a diet strategy.

The only type of natural fat loss diet plan worth following is one that does not starve the body of food, as this promotes a faster metabolism, helps to retain muscle, prevents dips in energy levels, and ensures that weight regain is not right around the corner.

Is Weight Training Necessary To Burn Fat?

Francesco — Thu, 05 Nov 2015 08:18:16 +0000

Many who try to construct their own natural weight loss training program opt to avoid resistance exercise (such as weight lifting) due to the fear of gaining significant muscle mass. This is especially so with females, most of whom are not interested in building large muscles, and would instead rather tone and firm problem areas without increasing muscle size. But those who neglect resistance exercise due to the fear of gaining muscle are actually robbing themselves of an important fat burning tool.

The more muscle a body carries, the greater amount of calories are burned each day, and hence the lower body fat levels will ultimately be. When someone is overweight, the best chance of achieving a lean body is to have a metabolism which supports enough food to satisfy hunger, and adding muscle allows more food to be used for fat loss than is otherwise possible (hence cutting cravings, and improving the chance for long term fat burning results).

But what about those who wish to only tone, and are not interested in building muscle? Toning is actually the process of burning fat and building muscle, with the amount of muscle gained limited so that the body does not become bulky. This can be achieved by constructing a natural weight loss training program using a rep and set structure that promotes small to moderate improvements in muscle, so that bulk can be avoided, while still providing a metabolism boost and enhancing the shape of problem areas.

Those who fear that they will automatically gain massive amounts of muscle just because they begin lifting weights have been misled, and are in fact best served to implement a properly designed resistance training program so that metabolism and tone can simultaneously improve, producing a firm, attractive body shape, instead of a lifeless and saggy exterior. On the flip side, those who begin lifting weights haphazardly might find that they gain more muscle than they would like, so it’s important to follow a professionally designed exercise plan that takes into account your specific fat burning and muscle toning goals.

The Difference Between Losing Weight And Burning Fat

Often those who embark on a natural weight loss diet program jump on the scale after a week of following their routine, believing that a decline in weight is going to prove just how potent their eating strategy truly is. A few days after beginning a new plan, the scale might even indicate a significant improvement, which seems to confirm that the new plan is burning fat quickly. Yet, few realize that the opposite may actually be true!

Let’s take as an example a low carbohydrate diet strategy, which has become common in recent years, and is what many opt for when seeking to burn fat fast. Often in only a few days, several pounds of scale weight can be shed, which is a tremendously exciting indication of a positive improvement, that is, if the weight was actually body fat. Unfortunately, because carbohydrates store water in muscle cells, anytime the body experiences a decline in the carbohydrates consumed through dietary sources (fruit, rice, etc), stored carbohydrates are released into the bloodstream, which reduces water weight dramatically. Therefore, the significant weight reduction that often occurs quickly after beginning a low carbohydrate diet plan is actually all water, and not body fat. Since the goal of any weight loss strategy is to burn fat from problem areas, this does not sound like good news.

What’s worse is that continued adherence to such a diet plan often burns away significant amounts of muscle, which weighs even more than fat (due to its density), so stepping on a scale and seemingly seeing continued progress is anything but when examining the composition of the weight that has been shed. In addition, lost muscle slows metabolism (the rate at which the body burns calories), making body fat reduction slower and more difficult.

So, what’s the alternative to using a scale? The barometer of how potent a natural weight loss diet program is rests upon its fat burning potential, therefore it’s important to isolate areas that accumulate fat the easiest (such as the stomach) with a measuring tape and caliper to determine if the circumference of that body part and the actual fat that exists between the skin and muscle tissue is declining. This measurement combination is far more reliable than body weight in determining whether or not fat is being shed, and is an important consideration to make before you decide to step on the scale and see how productive your fitness week has been!

Do Weight Loss Supplements Cause Metabolism To Slow?

Francesco — Thu, 05 Nov 2015 08:05:51 +0000

Although many wish to burn fat without using weight loss supplements (if for no other reason than to avoid the continual monthly pill or powder expense), there is a strong temptation to experiment with such products due to their promise that metabolism will improve. When anybody who wishes to burn fat hears that there is a way to enhance metabolic rate, they quickly boil over with excitement, believing that they will be able to achieve their weight loss goals faster. But is the opposite actually true?

Metabolism is the rate at which the body burns calories, and can vary based on genetics and daily physical activity. Anybody who wishes to burn fat fast is going to become curious about a product that uses the metabolism buzzword, feeling as if such a supplement can shorten the amount of time necessary to achieve results. But what is left off the powerful supplement advertising is how the body can respond in a negative way to a product that tampers with natural metabolic rate.

If metabolism increases as a result of an external aid (supplement), after a short period of time there is a desensitizing effect, where the body no longer responds to the product with a heightened metabolism, but instead requires the supplement in order to just maintain what was once a normal metabolic rate (before using the product). This means that to encourage faster calorie burn, more of the product than what is recommended by the manufacturer must be used, which increases the risk of serious side effects. But even if someone were to foolishly decide that damaged health is a fair tradeoff for using an increased supplement dosage, the same cycle will repeat itself, where the higher quantity will once again illicit a reduced metabolic response, and even more of the product will be required to produce a temporary positive effect.

This leaves the weight loss candidate with either perpetually increasing supplement dosage to try and achieve a short-lived metabolism boost, or to stop the product completely, but the little known secret is that when the supplement is no longer consumed, metabolism can crash, and weight regain is soon to follow. Supplement addiction is a natural response to this phenomena, which further increases the risk of serious side effects.

The alternative, which is to lose weight without supplements by way of a properly designed natural weight loss diet plan, is the only way to achieve healthy, lasting metabolism increase that will produce permanent fat burning results.

Is There An Affordable Natural Weight Loss Diet Plan?

Francesco — Thu, 05 Nov 2015 08:03:31 +0000

Anyone who understands that fat burning supplements do not provide anywhere near the advertised results and can actually harm both health and metabolism will instead opt for the only effective and safe solution, which is a natural weight loss diet plan, but often those who need to lose weight scoff at the idea of changing their eating strategy, believing that doing so will be expensive and difficult.

In reality, eating healthy does not need to break anyone’s bank account, but can do just that if a diet is not carefully planned. This is why having someone experienced in constructing such an eating strategy available to help is crucial, as he or she can take into consideration your budget, food preferences, and goals to produce a diet that is both effective and affordable. In reality, most have no problem financing a healthy eating strategy for weight loss, but are just confused with what specific foods to choose, and often opt for items that are unnecessary in achieving their fat burning goals.

There is a seemingly endless list of effective foods that can be used to construct a natural weight loss diet plan, but often those who attempt to do so select items that they have no desire to consume, simply because they read on the Internet or in a fitness magazine that using that particular food is essential. This causes many to decide against changing their diet routine and instead begin experimenting with supplements that falsely promise amazing results, which is a road to ruin, but when someone knows what to eat and when, realizes that bland foods do not need to be a part of any diet plan (realism is crucial to long term weight loss), and learns that expensive foods are not essential at safely burning fat, then results are right around the corner. All of these obstacles can be overcome with help from someone who has experience designing effective diet routines that are healthy and won’t lead to bankruptcy!

Why Anyone Can Burn Fat Without Supplements

Francesco — Thu, 05 Nov 2015 08:01:15 +0000

What is the obstacle that prevents so many from achieving their weight loss goals? Many unfortunately believe that it’s a missing piece of exercise equipment to be found on a late night infomercial, while others feel that the latest fat burning pill will finally melt excess weight from all problem areas. In reality, it’s not only possible to burn fat without supplements, but doing so is the best way to achieve the fastest possible permanent weight loss results. So, what stands in the way of millions never achieving their fat burning goals?

Bad diet advice. That is the single biggest reason why so many remain fat today, and will continue to balloon up to new record highs in the future. Exercise isn’t even necessary for weight loss when a correct diet plan is in place, which few fail to realize. So many diet fads exist that take men and women down a road to ruin, destroying metabolisms, causing uncontrollable hunger, and creating unrealistic eating expectations that have no possible end outside of failure. This is where most find themselves, and the search for answers leads to more diet gimmicks that cannot possibly provide long term progress, so the vicious cycle of failure continues indefinitely.

This is the reason why I designed Fat Vanish, to provide a truly effective, realistic and healthy way to permanently lose weight, any amount (5 or 500 lbs), so that millions around the world can finally burn fat without supplements, in the comfort of their own home, and do so without worrying about regaining lost weight and finding themselves fatter than ever several months later. Diet fads need to disappear, but because so many easily fall for false promises due to being confused and desperate, poor diet strategies will continue to plague many who seek to achieve permanent weight loss. Hopefully, you decide to instead take the Fat Vanish path, as by doing so you will experience the best fat burning results of your entire life, naturally.

Lifetime Fat Loss Can Be Achieved Naturally

Francesco — Thu, 05 Nov 2015 07:58:59 +0000

Lifetime fat loss is elusive for most, and the yo-yo syndrome, where stomachs, thighs and faces revisit their bloated past, is the norm for anyone who seeks to lose weight. One of the main reasons for this is that those who pursue weight loss opt for supplements as a crutch, feeling that pills will turn their body into a fat burning furnace.

But in reality, the body becomes a weight loss machine solely based upon how you eat and exercise, not what fat burning supplement happens to be circulating through the bloodstream, and what few realize is that using supplements can actually harm metabolism (the rate at which your body burns calories), preventing lifetime fat loss from ever becoming reality. Supplement usage forces the body to become dependent upon a particular substance to maintain a normal metabolic rate, which means more of the supplement is necessary to continually enhance results, and stopping the supplement slows metabolism, leading to quick weight gain.

This happens to even those who eat a very healthy diet when losing weight, as supplements can change the way metabolism works to the point that the body no longer maintains the proper level of calorie burn when the supplement is no longer used, and requires more of the product as time passes by just to maintain results. A very vicious cycle then begins where the body craves more of the supplement to just maintain normal body function, and consuming more becomes harmful, which puts the supplement user into either the hospital, or a depressed mindset due to the added body weight that occurs once the supplement is abandoned.

There is only one safe, natural way to permanently lose weight forever, which requires a properly designed diet and exercise plan that is realistic and effective. Under such an environment, fat will be lost, consistently, and health will improve, not decline, which should be the foundation of any fitness goal.

Why Burning Fat Without Supplements Is The Best Way

Francesco — Thu, 05 Nov 2015 07:57:24 +0000

Those who seek to burn fat often have been led to believe that burning fat without supplements is impossible, which prompts an immediate search for the most effective fat burning pill or powder. Although this particular notion couldn’t be further from the truth, most feel that weight loss supplements are required for impressive results due to a plethora of advertisements on TV and in magazines which promote the latest pill craze as the easy, effortless path to permanent fat reduction.

In reality, not only are weight loss supplements unnecessary, but they actually can become the biggest fat burning detriment. There is only one path to consistent, permanent results, which is a proper diet plan, but those who fall into the supplement trap feel as if there must be a way to avoid behavior change, one that requires nothing more than a pill or two per day, because so many advertisements claim that this is so. When weight stays identical after a particular supplement is used, the next pill is purchased promising to be the final cure, and the cycle continues.

This perpetual, vicious circle of failure never ends for some, and for others simply results in so much frustration that fat burning goes by the wayside. In addition, since some weight loss supplements actually harm metabolism, those who use such products can actually find themselves gaining more weight in future months instead of the opposite.

Burning fat without supplements is not only the best way to achieve any fat burning goal, but is the only way to ensure doing so without harming health and well being. Weight loss supplement advertising promises a simple path to fat burning results, but the truth remains that behavior change, which requires new diet habits and an effective exercise plan, is the only way to transform a body for life.

Is Weight Loss Realistic During The Holidays?

Francesco — Thu, 05 Nov 2015 07:55:01 +0000

Those who struggle with excess body fat often feel intense pressure to lose weight as November and December approaches, due to inevitable family reunions during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Because the 10 prior months were spent with little attention to body weight, suddenly the last few weeks of the year become the moment to try and burn as much fat as possible before visiting friends and loved ones, in order to make the best possible impression.

What those who try following a crash weight loss diet plan as the end of the year approaches soon find is that the constant temptation to eat traditional foods during celebratory moments will overtake whatever desire there is to trim body fat, and very little if anything is achieved. Special occasions such as Christmas and Thanksgiving should be reserved as times spent away from any strict diet philosophy so that celebration can take center focus.

But how is this possible when battling an undesirable appearance? If a natural weight loss diet plan is followed during other times of the year, then this conflict will no longer surface. January is always a popular time for new gym memberships and fat burning resolutions, but more often than not, November arrives, and little was achieved. So, the key to preparing for Thanksgiving and Christmas is to target the end of next year, beginning in January, as opposed to desperately attempting to overcome 10 months of procrastination by cramming impossible progress into an extremely short period.

Make a resolution that when the new year begins, weight loss will become a primary goal, and write down specific objectives for each month that you will work towards, so that by Thanksgiving and Christmas of next year, people will be amazed at what they see. Overnight progress is a lie promoted by weight loss supplement companies, and we all must begin to live in reality. So, if you wish to burn fat and are reading this close to Thanksgiving and Christmas, then you must gracefully accept your current condition for the remainder of the year and focus on January as a new starting point for impressive fat burning results.

If you’re itching to lose weight and have a difficult time waiting until January, then you should purchase and read my Fat Vanish program now so that you learn the correct natural weight loss diet plan and exercise routine to follow for the best progress of your entire life, and you’ll then be armed with the knowledge to begin next year with a guarantee of worthwhile change.
