Metabolism Secrets - Unleash the power of your metabolism today!

Okay, now onto the real meat of this message!

Many studies have shown that low calorie diets make you fatter than
when you started. Here is why:

When you reduce your calorie input, your body goes into "starvation
mode" and starts to preserve its supply of fat by burning fewer
calories.

Your body sends out signals to your brain to eat more, leading to a
battle between your body and your willpower, which makes you feel
like you're depriving yourself.

You might have noticed that you lose a lot of weight on the first
week of any diet. Most of that isn't actually fat - it's mainly
water and lean muscle tissue.

When you don't eat enough food to fuel your body's basic functions
such as breathing, circulation, digestion etc., your body will
begin to break down muscle tissue to produce the energy it needs.

It's easier for your body to convert muscle into glucose than to
draw it from fat stores, so your body will always break down muscle
before fat.
