Starving yourself for a calorie deficit? Don't - it'll only backfire!
We all know that a calorie deficit is required to lose weight, but restricting your calories too much can have the opposite effect. If your body thinks your food source has dried up, it will start storing fat for later use.

Instead of tricking your body into starvation mode (which will not help you lose fat, but may cost you lean muscle), create a calorie deficit with exercise. Eat a reasonable diet that lets your body know it is safe from starvation. You can restrict calorie intake, but make sure you eat enough for your body to continue to function normally. Then, work some of those calories off with exercise. This will keep your body from storing fat and will help you maintain your lean muscle.

If you still insist on drastically restricting calories, consider reading about the zig-zag diet method. Upping your calories every fourth day or so will often keep your body from transitioning into starvation (fat-saving) mode.

Good luck everyone - hang in there! Very Happy
