The first thought that crosses many minds in the quest to lose weight is to reduce the amount of food they are eating. I am here to tell you that this could be part of the solution, but not the best route there is. Did you know that reducing your food intake below a certain level could be dangerous and hazardous to your health? I see you are wondering, 揌ow does someone safely lose weight then??Well, I can help you there. Below are a few tips that can help you on your path.

First and foremost, beware of crash diets. There is a misconception that trimming down your calories in and of itself can shed the excess. The media has not helped this misconception due to the various low-calorie foods and drinks now being advertised on TV and in magazines. Most people do not know there is a hidden danger to this method. Decreasing your calorie intake below required levels will force the body to digest fats.

If you were to revert back to your old eating habits you could gain back the weight you had previously shed off! The composition of this weight would mostly be fats. Did you know that fats have more volume per mass than muscle? This means that you end up having the same weight as before plus more bulk. The rule of thumb is to lose excess body fat only.
