How to Lose Weight Like the Competitors in Fat March and Biggest Loser

For many seeing shows like Fat March of the Biggest Loser
can be an inspiration to start their own weight loss
program. The problem lies in once you are excited to start
now what. It can be hard for the average watcher to
understand what is important and what achieves results from
watching the show. It is easy to say eat well and exercise
on a regular basis though what does that really mean.
Losing weight doesn't have to be overwhelming if you
understand the basic principles from the shows and apply
them to your lifestyle.

The first biggest change for most people's diets which is
vital is eating 5 small meals. The personal trainers
talked about in Fat March about how until people create the
habit of eating throughout the day nothing else matters.
Eating small meals trains your body to burn fat and shuts
off your body's ability to store fat.

In Fat March we got an up close and personal experience of
what happens when you don't eat five small meals. One of
the fat marchers took all his food and ate it all at once.
This spiked his blood sugar which then your body stores the
food as fat. Once your body stores the food as fat you get
low blood sugar which is the crashing that most people feel
around 3 pm from too much food at lunch. During Fat March
because the competitor was doing a ton of walking he passed
out from too low blood sugar and had to go to the hospital.
Most people don't understand how negative not eating 5
small meals is because they don't have as serious instant
consequences because they are sitting at their desk working
when their blood sugar drops.

Until you start eating 5 small meals your body will be in a
constant roller coaster of eating too much and storing fat
into your fat cells. The good thing is that if today you
eat 5 small meals you body will today start to burn more
energy and go in the right dirction.

So what do I want in my 5 small meals?

The Biggest Loser show does a good job of showing cooking
for good healthy meals. The goal of each meal is to get
complex carbs for energy, lean protein to rebuild muscle
tissue, and fruits or vegetables for nutritional value.
The size is relative to your metabolism, as you get a
faster metabolism your portion will increase not decrease
which is why starving to lose weight doesn't work. For
most Americans take your lunch cut it in half and eat the
other half 3 hours later.

Yes you do need to eat carbs. Carbohydrates are your major
source of energy from food. When you don't eat carbs even
if you eat protein your body will go into a starvation
response and store fat and burn muscle for energy. Complex
carbs are stored in the muscles cells and are rice, pasta,
grains, and potatoes.

One reason many fad diets cut carbs is because carbs absorb
water. If you cut carbs out of your diet you will lose
weight immediately. You may think that is good though your
weight loss is only water. Most fad diets do this knowing
that people want to see instant results on the scale and
cutting carbs can 5-15 pounds of water out with in a week.
Because of poor diet habits and too much consumption of
caffeine drinks, it is estimated that 75% of Americans are
in a constant state of dehydration. Which means for the
average American who adds carbs back to their diet they may
gain 5 pounds of just water back right away. This healthy
and their bodies were unhealthy everyday from a lack of
later. If you cut carbs it doesn't matter how much water
you drink, you don't have the carbs to absorb it. Low carb
diets that drink a lot of water go to the bathroom more
often.
