At the beginning of your diet, when you lower your calorie intake and increase your exercise calorie burn, it is a "shock" to your system. Your body responds to this by burning fat and thus, you lose weight.
However, as time goes on, your body adapts to the "shock" and makes adjustments (such as lowering your metabolism), that stop your weight loss entirely.
This is why MOST diets fail!
The recent "high-tech" approach to solving this problem and producing a diet plan that causes you to lose weight for a LONG time, is what is called "calorie shifting".
Reduce calorie intake below calorie expenditure or increase calorie expenditure above calorie intake. A combination of both.
increase calorie intake
You will lose energy and weight. . . and you will be hungry
1400 calories.
If you are a high calorie liquid diet, it can make you gain weight. It is best to incorporate food into your daily calorie intake.
Maintaing a certain weight, regardless of that weight, is about balancing your calorie intake with your calorie expenditure. If you expend as many calories as you eat, you will maintain your weight.
Weight gain.
Lower your calorie intake and make exercise.
Excessive calorie intake is converted into fat - which increases body weight.
The recommended daily calorie intake is different for men and women. In order to maintain a healthy weight, men should not consume more than 1,800 calorie a day. The number of allotted calories for women is slightly lower at 1,200 daily. The number of calories you eat daily determined how much you weigh. It is important to calculate your own personal calorie intake based on your weight, body type and physical activity level. If trying to lose weight, then the amount of calories consumed needs to be reduced. Your daily calorie intake should be increased if trying to gain weight.
There are only 2 ways to loose weight: decreasing your calorie intake, and increasing your calorie output. Since you don't want to increase your output (exercise), all you can do is decrease your intake. Luckily, this is a lot more efficient. Try eating 1400 calories each day. Your diet should consist mostly of vegetables, chicken breasts, fruit, Greek yogurt, eggs, quinoa, oats, and unsweetened soy milk.
