Advantages: lose fat, lose weight, you get to eat more

Disadvantages: costs more due to eating more food

When people think of dieting they think of eating less to lose weight or they eat a special diet to gain muscle. Well, this opinion is on the losing weight, so I guess that the first kind of dieting is the relevant one, don't you?

A few months ago I decided that I was going to try to gain some muscle, and so began surfing the net, looking for ways to gain muscle. What I came across was fascinating, after typing 'body building' into the yahoo.com search engine, I discovered that there were two types of bodybuilding. One type was to gain muscle, the other to lose fat, and that is the point of dieting right, to lose fat?

The fat-loss method I came across was called pre-competition bodybuilding, and is basically what bodybuilders use to lose fat before gaining the muscle. Now, conventionally the best way to lose weight is to go on a diet that doesn't contain too many calories, with the idea that the body will turn to its fat reserves and that you will begin losing weight. This works to an extent.

You see, the rate that your body uses nutrients is known as your metabolism. People who tend to eat lots and still remain thin have high metabolism rates. The reason that a lot of people don't find dieting to work is because when you start dieting your body isn't use to the reduced intake of nutrients, and so turns to its fat stores. However, this is the reason that people lose weight after a short period of dieting, but then stop after a while. Once your body is used to the reduced import of goods it reduces its metabolism to adjust to the lack of what it needs. Do you see where I am going with this?

The idea behind pre-competition dieting is that you eat MORE. That's right, more, you have to eat more. Remember what I was saying about metabolism, well it works both ways, you eat less, your metabolism slows, you eat more, your metabolism increases. The reason that most people have never heard of this is because th
e professionals are concerned about things such as cholesterol build up, and worried they should be.

You have to eat the right amount, sorry, three meals a day just doesn't cut it. The website I was looking at gave an example of his diet, and you just have to eat more, around five or six meals a day. You have breakfast, lunch, something between lunch and dinner, dinner, and then something before you go to bed. I know what you're thinking, you're thinking, "wow, this sounds good, I get to eat more and lose weight", that's what you're thinking right? Well no, it isn't THAT simple, you have to eat the correct things, and not just junk.

You have to eat more protein. This is to keep your muscles from wearing away, the reason that people who diet look smaller and yet still have a small layer of fat is because as they diet they don't get enough protein, so as they diet their muscles waste and turn to fat. That isn't all though, to prevent to build up of more fat, you MUST work out, go running, biking, swimming, whatever, if you do try this you must prevent the build up of fat, otherwise it just won't help, at all. Also if you don't do the work, then you will probably end up with a build up of cholesterol, find something to motivate you, I find that when working out, watching wrestling helps me.

This all does sound a bit much, and I wouldn't recommend trying it before looking at one of the many websites containing information about it. Hey, let me tell you now, since I have started this diet (and I wasn't fat to begin with, I just wanted the desired 'six-pack') I have lost a lot of the layer of fat that was layering my stomach. Try typing in something like pre-competition bodybuilding in a search engine and see what pops up.

Now, I hate reading things where the information is all mixed up, so I am sure that there are others like me. So here, I will put all the important inf
ormation in bullet points for you to look at for yourself.

1 - check out a website that includes information about losing fat by eating more: pre-competition bodybuilding.
2 - follow the information that you have collected and plan up a diet suitable for you to follow.
3 - don't forget to work out otherwise you will experience a build up in cholesterol and could occur heart problems.
4 - your body will adjust to the diet so after around six weeks you will have to modify it.

If you have been trying for years to lose weight, and all those diets haven't worked, then you may as well try this, things can only get better right?

I know that you are probably sceptical, and it's to be expected, I mean I was too when I first read of this crazy method. I mean all the time you hear that the only way to lose weight is to eat less, and now all of a sudden I'm telling you of this crazy new idea. The theory behind this method though is sound, increasing the bodies metabolism will mean that the body will burn the fat at an increased rate, and the only way to increase your metabolism is to eat more. If you aren't sure try typing it into a search engine, remember, pre-competition bodybuilding.

Ok, I found the website that I used, and it is www.fatlosstips.com, this is where I found out about this extreme method of losing body fat, and as you can tell from the web address, it has tips to help you lose fat.

Before you go and rate this opinion not useful, please, check out the website and see for yourself. I feel that as part of the Dooyoo community that I should share my discovery with the rest of you fine people.

I hoped that this has helped you in any way.
