Why Do Diets Fail?
Jay Villaverde
Do you ever wonder why every diet you try fails? It's because
they target the wrong problem. Diets focus on treating a symptom
(weight gain) rather than providing what your body needs to
naturally maintain its weight. What happens next? Yep! You lose
weight temporarily only to gain it back again later. Is it lack
of will power? No!
Have you heard the phrase "it's all in your head?". Well, there's
much truth to that. Overeating is a result of a lack of
neurotransmitters in the brain. When the neurotransmitters are
missing (when there is an imbalance), your body tries to replace
them with something else...food.
Usually the problem is that we don't eat the right foods to bring
up the levels of neurotransmitters to the point where we don't
end up overeating.
Most people trying to lose weight go on some type of diet program
but very often DO NOT stay with a diet because the stress they
experience trying to stay on the diet, is too much for them to
handle. Why is that?
The body gets most of the nutrients the manufacturing cells need
to keep the opiod (neurotransmitter) levels normal in foods such
as milk, cheese and other dairy products. Since we often
eliminate these types of food when we diet, so we can lose
weight, we are also eliminating the very foods our bodies MUST
HAVE to keep the stress cycle from starting.
What you have is a viscious cycle of your body craving certain
foods and you depriving your body of those foods.
Certain amino acids provide nutrients, lost by depriving yourself
of those foods, that aid in restoring normal nutritional balances
in the brain. Which in turn can prevent you from overeating in
the first place. Without getting too "scientific", here are a few
of the essential amino acids that aid in losing weight.
l-phenylalanine is an amino acid used by the body to synthesize
dopamine and norepinephrine.
d-phenylalanine increases the levels of endorphins and
enkephalins.
l-tyrosine and l-glutamine are amino acids used by the body to
synthesize dopamine and Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA),
respectively.
l-arginine and "l" ornithine facilitate production of muscle, not
fat.
l-carnitine helps mobilize surface fats.
Chromium helps to lessen the competition of these specific amino
acids to cross the blood brain barrier and is also thought to
enhance the action of insulin which facilitates glucose (blood
sugar) and amino acids into muscle tissue.
These, along with other vitamins and minerals, conveniently deal
with the deficiencies resulting from poor eating habits or
inadequate diet. By giving your brain what it needs, you will NOT
need to go on some insane diet that may do more harm than good.
Therefore...Stuff your brain, not your face!
