Dieting is depressing!

Losing weight by just eating less is depressing. Not only does it depress the dieter mentally, it also depresses the metabolism. The overweight person wants their body to burn up some of the stored fat, so typically they reduce calories below their body’s needs. But instead of burning fat, the starving body slows down its metabolism to try to maintain its stores of fat while living off the new energy that’s being ingested in the meager, unappealing meals. Even if the dieter is using the better-tasting commercial weight-loss products, if they aren’t fixing their metabolism problem, they will put the weight back on—and that will be really depressing!

Metabolism is the key

If the goal is to burn stored fat, then doesn’t it make sense to increase the metabolism? A sedentary person may only need 1,500 calories to maintain their weight. In order to diet the pounds away, they’ll have to limit themselves to 1,000 miserable calories per day. If they exercise instead, raising their calorie needs to 2,500 calories per day; they can eat normal meals and still lose weight. The metabolism is the key to weight loss. Diet may be a tool. Exercise may be a tool. But the metabolism is key. A very readable book called The Metabolic Plan explains the metabolism and its role in weight loss and overall health.

A moderate increase in exercise, such as walking just fast enough to get the heart pumping a bit, will boost the metabolism and the sense of well-being. As the days roll by, the person can increase the speed, the distance or the time and burn more and more stored fat. Talk to your doctor before starting an exercise program.
