Will I rebound when I finish my crash diet?

Your chances of rebounding are as high as a 90%.  Any crash or radical diet that forces you to eliminate carbs and calories on a drastic level will cause a rebound in weight when you resume your normal diet.  In many cases you end up weighing more than you did before you started the diet. Starvation or crash diets work, no doubt about that, but the secret to keeping your hard-earned weight loss result is the maintenance plan after the diet – the point where most of us screw up.

Maintenance program is the key

If you can put just as much education, effort and discipline into your maintenance program as you do with your diet, then you’ll have what we all want, which is to keep the weight off.  I always had intentions of going on a maintenance diet after my bodybuilding shows but always seemed to rebound with my weight.  In fact I would gain up to 10 pounds the day after my show … true story.  Case and point, to keep your skinny clothes on start thinking about the long haul or you’ll be back in your fat clothes before you know it.

What do all diets have in common?

A Health and Nutrition Tip from Kris Simpson

Question: What do all diets have in common?

1. Reduction of carbohydrates
2. Reduction of calories
3. Reduction of fat

Calories count at the end of the day and the reduction of calories is what all diets have in common. No matter if it’s pre-prepared /packaged low-fat diets like Jenny Craig, low-carb diets like Atkins and South Beach, balance diets like The Zone, and reduced calorie diets like Weight Watchers, they all have reduced calories as their common secret to weight loss.

Math First, Science Second™

Math First, Science Second™ is what we preach to our clients here at BODIES. Focus on reducing your calories first and then start working on the science behind dieting. The science is all the questions you’ll have such as: how many carbs should I consume? White or whole wheat pasta? When should I eat my last meal? How much protein do I need in my diet? Keep it simple – Math First, Science Second™.
