Diets are temporary. If what you're looking for is to lose fat and keep it off, read on. The definition of metabolism is the rate at which the body burns calories. If you eat an average of 3000 calories per day without any dramatic weight fluctuations, your body is burning 3000 calories. To be precise, the only part of your body that actually consumes these calories is the muscle. Bodyfat and bones to not consume any calories. The fact is, you eat to feed your body's muscle mass.
The ONLY way to burn bodyfat and KEEP burning it, is to raise your body's metabolism permanently. Diets do it temporarily, which is why diets fail. Think about this, since your body uses all the calories you eat to support the current amount of muscle in your body, if you were to add a few more pounds of muscle without changing the way you eat, wouldn't your body require more calories just to maintain? The answer is yes. By gaining merely 5 pounds of muscle, your body is now going to require 3500 calories per day instead of the original 3000, just to maintain. By not changing our eating habits and still taking in 3000 calories per day, our body is going to pull the extra calories it needs from it's fat stores. What that means is fat loss, permanent fat loss.
Weight training is the ONLY way to burn more and more calories 24 hours a day.
