Absolutely correct!!
I think I have f' ed up my metabolism from going on these type of diets for so many years.
You are basically starving yourself on this all protien diet.
The second you have regular carbs again .. and you have to have carbs to live .. you will gain that lost weight back PLUS a couple of extra pounds. This is how you diet yourself UP to a size 16.
In fact, if you stay with all protien diets ... eventuallly you will starve to death. Now you won't be hungry so it's not that kind of starving but your body will be depleted from the nutrients it needs. So .. say you were on a desert island and all you ate was fish ... eventually you would die of malnutrition.
I have tried every diet there is but the only thing that really works is:
- plenty of water. A gallon plus a day is good
- regular exercise. For me 1 hour a day (1 day a week off)
- plenty of lean protien, eggs, veggies, fruits, nuts, wheat bread ... other foods in small amounts like just 1 cookie .. not the whole package.
The best program is Weight Watchers which allows a little bit of everything. Do this regularly and you will lose weight such that if you have a burger from McDonalds or a candy bar every now and then ... it will not throw your body into hysteria and cause it to boomerrang back on with the weight.
I am talking all big and brave but yes, I still struggle with the 3 points above because it's hard to stay focused.
