When people diet, there is one idea that they always entertain: shun food.  They figure that since the cause of having weight is the calories in food is food, it would be wise then to not eat.  But is this really the wise way to shed unwanted pounds?  It does sound very dangerous! Besides, the juiciness of a steak, the smell of coffee, the tangy flavor of Torani syrups – are those the things you really want to give up?

Starving to attain a certain weight is not only dangerous, but very illogical as well.  A person cannot function properly without food.  Thus starving is just one very stupid manner to lose weight, unless a person plans to be a vegetable while dieting.

So, how can one lose the unwanted pounds without going to the extreme?  There are a number of ways, but a dieter should remember that going to the extreme never is the way to go.  Lose the calories keep the food is one nifty and very logical advice when it comes to losing weight. 

By keeping the food while losing only the unnecessary calories, the dieter is assured of staying healthy while keeping unwanted pounds away.  Here are three tips on how to achieve the decision to lose the calories keep the food:

1)      A dieter should be able to monitor their activities daily and be able to know how many calories they use.  By knowing how many calories they burn, they would be able to know how many calories they would need from its only source: food! 

2)       They should be able to formulate a menu with foods that if they total their calorie content, would be lower than the total number of calories that they use.  That way, no extra calories will be left in the body to be stored as fat.

Moreover, whatever fats are stored in the body will be utilized for the body’s activities.  Now that the dieter knows how many calories they need in daily activities, for example, 5,000 calories, subtract 500.  They will thus only need 4500 calories from food.  

The dieter’s body would then be in a calorie deficit, which would of course, trigger weight loss.  It’s simple mathematics really, but make sure that the deficit created will not be too huge that it will lead to starvation again!

3)      So that the body will not feel deprived that it will only receive fewer calories, the dieter can cheat his or her body by spreading out the 2,500 calories in 6 small meals.  Metabolism will speed up and the body will not like eating excessively anymore.

See? There really is no need to starve just so that one will lose weight.  Lose the calories keep the food works on the simple logic of how the body works.  You can have a lot of flavor without having to gorge just by substituting actual calories with the exact flavor, like in the case of suing Torani syrups. Starving could only work for the most limited of time and will only cause the body of the dieter to eventually malfunction.

After all, there is simply no logic in starving.  The human body needs fuel to function well.  This fuel can only be provided by a combination of oxygen, water and calories from none other than food.  The dieter just has to make sure that his or her calories come from nutritious food sources.
