The most believed myth is that you should go on a crash diet in order to lose weight. You cannot be more wrong. Crash diets are usually nothing but mere starvation. Your body needs energy to survive. You cannot deny the basic nutrition and still be healthy.Your body works on calories. The body measures everything that goes in as calories. The body knows to convert that into energy, necessary to run the human engine. It also has a built in fat reserve system out of the calories it gets, for emergencies. In case of dieting, it still will reserve a fat portion in your bodies.In most cases when you starve, you destroy your health. It is also the most unpleasant feeling for a normal person. This is why most people hate the dieting method. In addition, cannot continue for long without good nourishment. Your body will crave good food as well. Feed it well with all normal things our grandparents ate. Of course, not junk food.Your body does not ask for junk food. It asks for the necessary fuel to run. It does not deal with the junk the way we do trash. It will become counter productive when the body sees and encounters junk. Too much fat, too much starch, too much sugar, too much salt etc., is trouble for the body sensors to deal with correctly.Eat right is the answer to how to lose weight without destroying the body with dieting. Any thing that is in excess of what the body really needs is excess and in our opinion it is junk. Moreover, it becomes useless to the body. However, the body does not flush all of them the way we do with trash in our homes. Unfortunately it retains most of them, stores more than necessary fat, for example, sugar is not metabolized so stays in the blood stream (diabetes).Now do you see why we have high incidence of cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, a plethora of sickness and diseases in our society?The myth of dieting is not the answer to the question of how to lose weight. It always is and will always be answered by one phrase, 'sensible eating'. Moderation in all you eat. Eating alone does not contribute to overweight and weight gain. Along with sensible eating, you should also regulate the frequency of your physical activity on a daily basis.
