RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Hot news story yesterday. This is a zero carb & starvation (800cal/day) diet. Zero carb diets only help us lose water weight, because 1g of carb carries 4oz of water, so by eliminating carbs we don't have that extra water, but once we eat carbs again we gain it all back plus some. Anybody who consumes under 1200cal/day puts their body into starvation mode: 1) the body holds onto the fat it already has, 2) anything we do consume is auto-stored as fat for future energy, 3) if done consistently daily, the body will start consuming muscle as fuel, which slows down our metabolism, causing more body fat gain. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR DAILY EXERCISE & HEALTHY EATING FOR TRUE, HEALTHY, LONG LASTING RESULTS.
