Lost weight fast. Miracle fat loss. You know, we've all heard about them, right? The fat burning pills, the HCG diet, and thousands of other advertisements that claim to help you to lose fat and weight super fast. What many of these diets, and these claims, and these pills, and these burners, and so many other things out there, but really what most of them are doing is they're selling you a piece of junk and then they tell you to go onto these ultra low-calorie diets flaming that you're going to lose all this weight. And are you going to lose the weight on these ultra low-calorie diets? Well, yeah, for a short time at least, but then you're likely to gain it all back and some. I also see out in the fitness world, especially in the competition world, well-meaning trainers that are putting individuals on ultra low-calorie diets for an extended period of time in order to have them lose weight super fast, and what oftentimes happens is, because they've been on this extended ultra low-calorie diet for quite some time, after they step onstage in that competition, well, they go back to their normal eating habits and they balloon up incredibly. They gain all that weight back and some on top of it. Now, in the fitness industry, what we call that effect is the starvation effect. You know, there's an awful lot of individuals out in the industry that say the starvation effect, or starvation mode, is a myth, that it's not true, but the science is there to support that there is something that goes on with the body. So, you know me, we're going to dive into this topic today. We're going to try to understand what happens on a starvation type diet and what goes on with the body. Why do we gain all the weight back? We're not able to sustain it. And what you can do if you want to lose weight to avoid the starvation effect happening to you. I hear this all the time. All the time. I get emails, I get people posting on Youtube here, I get it on Facebook. I have people coming to the site and posting in the forum. This is a very common scenario, the individuals that lost a lot of weight. They felt great for awhile, but then they gain it all back and they're totally perplexed or they hit that plateau. I know that some of us or most of us have gone into that at some point in our lives because we've been in this really low-calorie, restrictive diet and then all of a sudden our body just stops losing weight. We think it stops losing weight. And sometimes I get individuals that will write to me and say, "Kristin, you know what? I've tried calorie restriction and I'm eating like a bird and I'm not losing weight at all." You know, and that frustration is real. I've been there. I can tell you I know what that feels like. Or they tell me, "Kristin, I'm eating moderate amounts of clean food and I'm exercising a ton, and the scale isn't budging." Or--and this one's a biggie these days--you see this topic all over blogs, and websites, and Youtube. Individuals that come to me that claim they have metabolic damage from a well-meaning training that puts them on a pretty low-calorie deficit diet in order to bring them into a competition or in order to see weight loss results really fast. And these same individuals, what they tell me, is that if they eat anymore than their really restrictive caloric diet then they put on weight really, really fast. What's interesting about it is that they are absolutely right.
