"You're only as fat as the food you eat," is a very popular saying nowadays and everyone is trying to lose weight with low intake diets. Sounds very logical doesn't it? Eat less and be less fat, right? That concept works in our heads but to be honest that's not exactly how it works in reality. I'm going to tell you how low intake diets work in reality and why you should stay away from low intake diets such as the negative calorie diet.

Low intake diets have to be one of the biggest pitfalls for people trying to lose weight simply because it wrecks their metabolism. Think about it. A low intake diet basically means that you eat less and you almost starve yourself. This causes your, probably already slow, metabolism to slow down dramatically and, to cut a long story short, that will pretty much be the end of your fat burning days. In other words you will lose weight at first with a low intake diet but in the end you will find it difficult to maintain your weight and you will eventually gain it all back again. You don't want that do you?

Oh but you've read so many testimonials about how well a low intake diet helped other people. As I said before with a low intake diet you will lose weight but in the end you will have trouble maintaining it. These people who write testimonials have lost weight but they haven't yet felt the consequences of putting the breaks on their metabolism.

Don't condemn your metabolism for a quick fix because you want to be slim in 2 weeks. You might regret it in the future. I'm warning you a low intake diet could mean you have to stay dieting for the rest of your life to stay slim. That's day after day of feeling week from the lack of energy and that feeling of hunger in your stomach twenty-four seven.

Do yourself a favour and stay away from low intake diets. There are many other diets out there that will do you good. Instead of eating less why don't you try just eating healthier food. Do a bit of research and find the diet that is good for you. Perhaps a little exercise wouldn't do any harm. Just be careful of the low intake diet.

Don't sit there any longer, get up and find out what diet you need. However, just stay away from the low intake diets.
