How Your Body 'Loses' Weight

The first week of dieting usually produces the most dramatic weight loss. When you start dieting, your body uses up its glycogen stores before it begins to burn excess fat for fuel. As you use the glycogen stores, your body sheds the water that was bound to the glycogen. Once glycogen stores are depleted, the body shifts to burning fat stores for energy. Losing fat is a much slower process. (Luckily, Skinny Fiber helps boost the body's metabolism and helps it use up the fat stores for energy).

Sensible, healthy fat loss is in the range of 1-2 lbs (0.5 - 1.0 kgs) per week. If you try to lose more quickly, a number of undesirable effects can occur.

• You will burn up lean body tissue rather than fat stores, leaving you with less muscle and more fat.
• Your metabolism will switch to super-efficient mode, making it more difficult to lose weight.
• The more extreme the diet, the greater the likelihood that you rapidly gain back any lost weight (Again, using Skinny Fiber is not dieting because you have to take it 30-45 minutes before your meals, that way your body gets used to having meals and eventually when you have achieved a desirable weight goal and stop using Skinny Fiber the weight still stays off.) 

So, there you have it. Losing weight is easy but dieting really doesn't help your body and the more you starve, the more weight you retain. In the next post, I'll be sharing with you 5 tips that can aid you achieve success in your weight loss journey. Tchao!
