From the amazing, spectacular Dr. Colgan:- Cutting calories below body maintenance is slow starvation. But it will get you lean. You lose weight fast, as shown on the Biggest Loser program. In our instant gratification society, the quick visual improvement explains why disguised starvation remains the mainstay of the weight-loss industry. But, inside the body is getting ugly. Scientists have known for 40 years that the starving body goes immediately into defensive mode. It reduces energy to exhaustion, reduces body heating to shiver mode, excites the fat storage enzyme, lipoprotein lipase, and increases appetite to ferocious. Some folk get such overwhelming cravings after a starvation diet, they have to have their jaws wired shut to slow down the compulsive eating.(1) Worse, the minute you succumb to the munchies, even if it’s restricted to sucking smoothies through a straw, lipoprotein lipase grabs every molecule and re-stuffs your fat cells to bursting. Bursting fat cells then signal your brain to grow a lot more new fat cells to fill, cells that will take years to get rid of.(2,3 ) Hard to believe? Find some previous Biggest Loser contestants on the internet and you will see what I mean. Or take a look at some previous celebrity pitchers for popular TV diet plans. A year or so later the belly is rampant once more. On starvation diets, up to 45% of the weight lost is muscle.(3) We have measured up to 6 lbs. of muscle loss per month. Real muscle is hard to gain. Three months on such a diet and you’ve lost all the gains you sweated for over the last two years. It’s suddenly got uglier. Now you have less muscle to burn the fat. Muscle is the engine in which bodyfat is burned. In reward for suffering the misery of starving, you also clobber your future chances to control bodyfat.(4) OK so I won’t starve, just skip some meals. It must reduce calories. Right? So it must reduce bodyfat. Wrong! Skipping meals destabilizes your insulin. When you do eat, you get a big insulin surge. Insulin is a storage hormone. It causes your body to store everything. Not only do you store all the food beyond maintenance level, but your liver converts all the excess insulin into triglycerides – fat, - and stores that too.(5) So you can cut calories by skipping meals, and GAIN body fat. Hmm. Starve myself stupid and lose muscle, and gain fat, and raise my risk of being fatter in future. What’s wrong with that picture? Lucky there is a way... Nutritional Cleansing.
