There is a new era in weight loss and it is supported by mounds of research and proven through countless real life case studies. This article explains to you how overeating one day a week and dieting the other six actually increases your weight loss.

There is a problem with traditional dieting methods.

If you have been on a diet before you have probably tried to keep your calories low. It seemed to make sense right? If you want to lose weight then you must eat fewer calories.

Well, as it turns out it’s not quite that simple. You see there is a problem. When you go on a diet and restrict your calories your body sends out a red flag thanks to a little hormone called leptin.

It is leptin’s job to report your nutritional status to your brain. So when you go on a diet and eat far less than you “normally” do leptin sends out its red flag telling your brain you are semi-starved and not eating enough food.

The brain in turn sends out an order to slam the brakes on your metabolism so you don’t burn up all of your stored energy (the stuff you call FAT). Not only that but it also creates an internal environment that makes it easier for your body to store fat.

So when you go on a diet wanting to lose a few pounds you are actually sending the opposite message to your body and it does everything it can to save your fat. Ugh.

Okay, enough on the problem, after all this article promised to tell you how overeating one day a week can speed up your weight loss so I will get to that now.

Let’s look at this logically, you now know that your metabolism takes a nosedive when you reduce your calories. In fact it can drop as much as 50% in just one week. But it doesn’t take that long for your metabolism to rebound, in fact research has shown that it only takes about a day.

And how do you rebound your metabolism? By taking one day out of your dieting week to eat high calorie foods. Yes, I mean pizza, ice cream, wings, cookies, whatever your favorite food, you can have it. This tells leptin that all is well, there is no starvation and consequently your metabolism is put back into high gear and when you reduce your calories the rest of the week you are getting the benefit of a fully functioning fat burning internal engine.

Strategic cheating is a realistic way for you to stick with a weight loss program and you will experience a greater net weight loss week after week (kiss weight loss plateaus good bye). I hope you see the logic in this method and how overeating one day a week actually speeds up your metabolism and weight loss.
