#1 Reason You Won't Lose Weight If You Starve Yourself - Want to Learn Why
By Pierre William Trudel

Many of you think that starving yourself, even temporarily, will help you lose the weight quicker. Anyone telling you this is wrong. Your body is a very fine tuned instrument and it knows the signals that can help you, and also the ones that can harm you.

The #1 reason you won't lose weight if you starve yourself is that their is a signal sent to your brain as soon as you deprive your body of nutrients. Your mind gets the signal and puts into motion the protection mechanisms to hold all the resources it can to prevent you from losing body weight. This brain signal has been well documented and much research has been done to show the effect it has in protecting your body, from yourself, for as long as it can.

The body weight you are at needs basic nutrients to insure you survive.Your mind controls the body weight by obeying your commands. If you tell your mind to store fat, it will. If you tell your mind to lose fat, it will also, but only if your strategy leaves enough nutrients to maintain life. The basic requirements to sustain life are the ones that permit you to function everyday. Let me give you an example.

If you weigh 200 lbs and you are eating 2800 calories everyday to maintain that weight, your mind will maintain your level of eating to ensure your body stays at 200 lbs.

If you are trying to get down to 180 lbs your mind will allow you to go to maybe 1700 calories to help you get there. The difference of 900 calories per day is what will help you get to the desired weight.

If you want to get there quicker by eating less calories your mind sends an alert signal that will make it virtually impossible for your body to accept less than the minimum it needs to keep you healthy.

Your body will automatically start to store fat anywhere it can to protect you from danger.

If you try and eat less than your body needs, it will start shutting down and disaster is right around the corner.

When people decide to do stupid things like this, their appetite increases when they stop. You might have tried this in the past and regained all the weight, and more.

Please get the right information before you decide to lose weight too quickly. Food for thought.
