The thought of going on another diet can be too much sometimes. The memory of the last diet is still fresh in your mind. Isn’t there a better way to lose weight? Please!
You don’t mind a challenge, but it has got to be for something worthwhile. You don’t consider a diet id worthwhile any more Why? Because after all the effort and commitment that you put into the last one, the weight just came back again after a few months.
When the weight comes back again after only a few months after your diet, you think the end of the world has come. It’s tough to see all the weight come back having put so much work into your diet. It wouldn’t be so bad, but you are already a paid up member of the serial dieters club, and it hurts.
Did you know that serial dieters also suffer from an even greater problem? It’s loss of muscle mass. When you go on a diet you lose both fat and muscle. When the weight comes back again you put the fat back on, but not the muscle. It’s not difficult to see that after several diets, your muscle mass is going to be considerably reduced.
A problem? Certainly: apart from the fact that you will find daily functions more difficult because your muscle mass has deteriorated, your metabolism will have been compromised as well? Why? Because muscle is a very good burner of energy. The more muscle you have the better you will be at burning energy (calories). The less muscle you have the more difficult you will find it to burn energy and therefore lose weight.
