Diet Basics releases a revolutionary new system that makes your diet work. The new system complements your current weight loss program and helps it to prevent diet shock and ultimately, weight regain.

Diet Shock Definition

Diet Shock describes a state of emergency energy conservation your body enters when faced with fewer calories and weight loss. In an energy conservation state, your body will counteract your own efforts to lose weight to protect against starvation.

Starvation? Yes, all diets lead to weight loss by lowering amount of food you eat. When you eat fewer calories your own body interprets this as a potential food shortage and it responds by conserving energy, so that you can survive famine.

It takes time for body's efforts to show. Usually, by time you stop dieting, stage is set for weight regain, gaining of weight during or immediately after dieting.

Why is this bad? Weight cycling has now been shown to decrease life expectancy rates and increase mortality associated with cardiovascular disease and certain cancers. For you, this means you must lose weight without gaining it back and avoid dangerous cycle of Yo-Yo Diet.

How do you diet to lose weight and not gain weight back? It's not easy but I will share with you a few steps from my own research to help make it possible.

Why do current dieting plans promote a weight loss method destined to fail? It's what you want. Fast and extreme weight loss is what sells. Slow and low weight loss (the method I designed several years ago for my overweight patients) does not satisfy immediate gratification mentality of our society. In a nut shell, slow and low weight loss doesn't sell.

Once in diet shock, your body initiates a series of reactions that ultimately slow down your metabolic rate. From there, weight regain is just around corner.

Remember, weight regain is not good for two reasons...
