Are you a chronic dieter? Do you tend to gain weight
even on a relatively small number of calories? Have you
been stuck on a weight plateau for weeks or months? If you
answered yes to these questions, you might have a damaged
metabolism.
Diets really do wreak havoc on our bodies. If you
follow a very low-calorie diet, your body could react by
going into self-preservation mode, wherein it stores more
fat than usual to sustain itself.
This is a throwback to our ancestors' days, when famine
was a real concern and our bodies had to hang onto as much
fat as possible to survive the lean times.
For many of us, diets are the modern-day famine. We
starve ourselves, then wonder why we rapidly regain the
weight - and often a little extra - that we lost. The
regain occurs because our metabolisms are still in famine
mode.
Fortunately, such damage is seldom permanent. It can be
repaired with a little time, patience, and courage. Here
are some tips to help you get your diet-damaged metabolism
back up to speed:
Tip 1: Eat more, not less.
Your metabolism has slowed down to match your reduced
calorie intake. You can rev it up by giving it a normal
amount of calories, or even a slight surplus.
Go online to find a BMR calculator. This will help
determine your basal metabolic rate, or how many calories
your body needs to carry out essential functions based on
your weight and lifestyle.
Once you've learned how many calories you need to
sustain your current weight, start eating close to that
number of calories each day. Get your calories from whole
grains, lean protein, fruits and vegetables, and low-fat
dairy products.
Your body will start to lose weight again once you
convince it, through good nutrition, that it's safe to let
go of its fat stores.
Tip 2: Time your meals.
Small, regularly-spaced meals will keep your metabolism
working as your body is continually processing food. Start
with a good breakfast each morning, and eat four or five
more mini-meals throughout the day.
You can avoid hunger - and a sluggish metabolism - by
never going longer than three hours without eating.
Tip 3: Build muscle.
The stronger and leaner you are, the more calories your
body will burn at rest. When combined with proper
nutrition, more muscle means a healthier metabolism.
To give your damaged metabolism a boost, add strength
training to your workout routine. You can use resistance
bands, free weights, or find an exercise program that uses
your own body weight as resistance.
Muscle building has been shown to speed up the
metabolic repair process. Start out by doing strength
training 3 times a week, then work your way up to a level
you're comfortable with.
Tip 4: Expect some initial weight gain.
This is where courage factors in. Your body has grown
accustomed to surviving on a very small amount of
calories.
When you start feeding it normally, it will do what it
was designed to do: gain weight. This simple fact keeps
many dieters from moving forward with their healthy plans.
On average, dieters gain between five and ten pounds
after they increase their calories for metabolism repair.
Please remember that this weight gain is temporary! It
will last for a few weeks, or for a few months at the
most. Just stick to your plan and you will definitely see
the scale drop again.
Tip 5: Have patience.
Persistence is the key to repairing your damaged
metabolism. Even if you eat well and exercise frequently,
it can take months for your body to recover from the
devastating effects of yo-yo dieting.
Just be patient, and focus on your total health instead
of a number on the scale. After your metabolism has
healed, you will be more fit than ever. You'll also be
able to enjoy a larger number of calories, but still lose
weight. Those are goals worth working for!
