Have you tried to lose weight in the past? Why? I bet you wanted to look better and/or feel better. Right?

I'm actually tired of hearing about people trying to lose weight. When I eat healthy all the time, co-workers and friends always ask, "Trying to lose weight?" And that's just because I don't take the donut or piece of cake they offer. That's how the general population is programmed now. If you try to eat healthy, people think you are trying to lose weight. Yet, weight loss is not even important!

When people attempt to lose weight, they don't even care what type of weight they are losing as long as the number on the scale decreases... and that is SAD. Weight loss comes in the form of water weight, muscle mass, body fat, or any combination. The majority of the time -- People end up losing more muscle mass than anything else. And that is not good -- Yet, people believe they are successful because they lost weight.

I've got news for you. The number on the scale is NOT IMPORTANT...

Why are people so obsessed with their body weight? Because the world has programmed everyone to believe they need to lose weight. Don't get me wrong -- Many people need to decrease body fat, but most have no idea how to do it correctly. You must focus on losing body fat and NOT body weight.

When you lose muscle mass, your body not only looks worse but you lose active tissue that makes your life easier each and every day. Muscle mass works for you. It burns calories so you can eat more food each day. When you lose muscle mass, you have to eat less and less every day just to lose more weight.

Weight loss diets cause you to get into a very bad habit which is eating less and less to lose more body weight. Bad idea! The body will begin to hold onto body fat because it believes it is being threatened. It then turns to muscle for energy. You begin to lose muscle because your body has nothing else to use for energy.

Trigger the starvation response and you lose!

The human body is amazing. It's job is to help you survive, and that's exactly what it does. When you start eating less, your body will hold onto fat stores because it has been threatened. More body fat will allow you to survive for longer periods of time. So when you attempt to lose weight on a low calorie diet, you are only losing muscle and keeping all that unwanted body fat.

When you trigger the starvation response and lose body weight in the form of muscle, all of that muscle mass will eventually be replaced with body fat. You start eating more later and weight comes back fast in the form of body fat. You end up looking and feeling even worse than before you started.

Weight loss diets do not work. They cause you to lose muscle mass and eventually gain body fat. Yes, the number on the scale decreases, but your body doesn't look any better. Really. You might think you were successful, but in reality, you weren't.

So what are you supposed to do then?

You should never focus on weight loss. Focus on improving your body composition - increase muscle mass and decrease body fat. That should be your goal. No one cares how much you weigh. It's not important. What is important is how you look and feel. STOP worrying about weight loss and that stupid number on the scale and start building muscle and burning fat.

The solution to this weight loss dilemma that's overtaken the world? What is it? Weight training, healthy and nutritious diet, and cardiovascular exercise are the basics. Start doing that and you'll be on the right track.
