Low Calorie Foods - Stop Eating Them!

If you're looking for low calorie foods, there is good news and bad news for you.
The good news: You're in luck. There are plenty of them available.

The bad news: Eating too much low calorie food can actually hurt your weight loss efforts... sometimes forcing you to both plateau and not lose any weight, or worse case scenario, gain weight.

There are a lot of problems that come with eating very low calorie that people don't know about.

Now, don't get me wrong... watching what you eat is a great move and is one that any healthful person should do.

But be warned... if you eat too few calories, your body goes into hunger mode.
Doing this leads to a plethora of bad news, including:

• Lean body mass is lost.

• Loss of muscle, which directly makes metabolism slow down and hinders weight loss efforts

• Fat burning hormones slow down and release leptin (anti-starvation hormone)

• Leptin refuses to release the amount of fat-releasing and fat-burning enzymes as it used to

• You feel tired

• You have less energy

• You're more likely to get frustrated and give up. Once you do this, it often leads to binges, which leads to more frustration.

A great alternative to this all-too-common problem is to implement calorie cycling. With calorie cycling, you still need to watch the amount of calories that you take in, but you get to alternate your low calorie days with your high calorie days. Because of this, your body never knows what to expect, and it can't go into starvation mode. Also, you won't feel frustrated and likely to give up, and you'll stay on the diet even longer.

These reasons are why doctors and psychologists heartily recommend calorie cycling.
