Slim and trim can now be achieved by overeating. When we make these wholehearted attempts to diet without staying up to date with new fitness and nutrition findings, it can be deleterious to fat loss. How can over eating help fat loss you ask yourself? Studies show that a hormone called leptin is responsible, along with a few other hormones at regulating fat loss. When calories are reduced, the leptin levels go down and your body keeps the fat. Until the body recovers the calories, it is in starvation mode and wants what its got. This is why proper calorie intake through good food choices is vital along with one “free” day a week to eat anything your heart desires within reason. Perfect prescription for pigging out during the holidays.
