All the diets have one thing in common and that is low or extremely low calories. The diets play a trick on you. At first everyone loses weight with a diet, no matter what diet it is. But the main problem is that you can磘 starve your body with low calorie diets for very long. Your mind and body just can磘 do it. That is why most diets fail sooner or later. And then people go on another diet and fail again. You can磘 trick your body like that.

If you cut your calories then you not only lose fat, but also, water and muscle. So losing weight and losing fat is not the same thing. When you lose muscle your metabolism slows down. And the slower your metabolism is, the fewer calories you burn. Your body enters the "starvation mode" and in that mode your body conserves energy. No matter how hard you try you can磘 win. If you stop losing weight, then most people give up or some brave souls cut their calories even more to lose weight. But then your metabolism slows even more down and your body holds on to that energy, that is fat. But eventually all people give up, the weight comes back and they have damaged their metabolism.

Going on a diet means that at some point you have to come off it. You go on and you come off. A diet is not permanent, it is a temporary solution. In order to successfully lose fat you have to understand the basics. To lose fat you don磘 have to cut your calories. The goal is to lose fat, not weight, because weight is also muscle and we want to keep the muscle. The more muscle we have the more calories we burn.

So to lose fat successfully we need a caloric deficit. We can get that if we burn more calories, then we consume. The most effective method is to cut your calories just a little and burn a lot of calories a lot with exercise. Our goal is to burn the fat and keep the muscle. If you burn your calories with exercise, then your metabolism does not slow down and you will not go in the starvation mode. Do you see the point?

If you put together proper nutrition, cardio training and weight training, then you will get the perfect combination and lose fat effectively. If you are trying to lose "weight" with diets, then you sooner or later you will fail. Never go on a diet again and if you are on a diet, then get off or you will fall of it and that can really hurt
