How To Lose 9 Pounds In 11 Days

I am not a fan of the "dieting" mentality - the roller coaster of
going on and off diets. This is no way to permanently manage your
weight and can take a real toll on your body. Losing weight and
gaining more back is a dangerous path to take.
UCLA researchers report that diets generally do not help people lose
weight and keep it off. In general, people initially lose 5 percent to
10 percent of their weight on any given of diets, but then gain it
back, often with some additional pounds as well.
The researchers concluded that most people would be better off not
going on a diet at all.
In all honesty, if you aren't planning on changing your eating habits
for good, then the chances are, you will only gain back the same fat
you lost before.
The biggest risk of subsequent weight gain will occur if you rapidly
increase carbohydrates. Refined carbohydrates are common of the
western diet, and shouldn't be consume at all (foods like pastries,
doughnuts, white breads and cakes etc.) If you are a person that
enjoys lots of carbs then you must be very careful to gradually
introduce more carb into your diet - and to watch the results
closely....
