For those people who adamantly think getting on a diet will help them lose weight. Here's a scientific reason why it will not.

The human body since prehistoric times has evolved to work like this due to inconsistent supplies of food then. Whenever there is a famine, people will starve and the human body will automatically lower its metabolism rate to conserve fats and energy. This goes the same now. When someone goes on a diet, this inherent function will kick into action. This means that the fat person who is on a diet is losing less energy as his/her metabolism is lowered. How can anyone lose weight in this way?

Besides, a normal human needs 1500 calories just to stay alive and our big brain takes up 1/5 of this amount just to make you stay awake. If someone just go on a crash diet, he/she is going to get into really bad shape as their body is not getting the least amount of nutrition just to function properly.

However,there is this proven lose weight technique which is better than going on a strict exercise. This method is to simply eat what a normal person usually eats MINUS the carbohydrates intake. Well not really reduce total carbo intake as we still need a mild amount to function.

This method works because when we take in carbohydrates, the first thing to start assimilating this stuff is not our stomach but our pancreas. Pancreas will start to secrete insulin which will turn these carbohydrates into glucose and the excess carbo into - FATS. So when someone cuts off or reduce his intake of carbohydrates, there will be lesser insulin being secreted and the body will turn to "burn" its own excess fats to get energy! A guy on this method lost 8 pounds in like 10 days. But it is not also advisable to totally cut off carbo intake, a subtle amount will suffice.

This method is almost the same as how slimming pills work. But without the side effects. I am not implying exercising is not a good way to lose weight. It is a healthy way to lose weight and on top of that, lowering the carbo intake and anyone who is complaining of their extra paddings will have no reasons not to lose weight.

Watching documentories have its benefits.
