Scary Skinny Tabloid Tell-All

I admit it. I bought the National Enquirer. I know, you should never admit that you bought the Enquirer, but the title I GOT! Hollywood Diet Deadly Skin And Bones: Stars are risking their lives to be thin. "Not to be outdone, in the history Touch magazine cover is remarkably similar with the title: "Scary skinny! "Actually, I was not" read "the Enquirer to all I was, um, "Doing research work …"

Tabloid TELL ALLS!

Anyway, on the cover the Enquirer had photos of a skinny "bone" Angelina Jolie 5 '7 "100 lbs, Anna Kournikova 5 '6" 110 pounds, and Cate Blanchett 5 '8 "and 106 pounds, among others.

After I flipped past the image of cellulite buttocks Sharon Stone surrounded and extended for more details (no, I'm sorry to say, I'm not kidding about this!) The inside story discussed an issue that is very serious:

Dr Stanley said that the title "The skin and bones diet is extremely dangerous and can cause serious health consequences. Literally, they are starving themselves to death. "

Title says Dr. celebs Hollywood know that they look 10 pounds heavier on camera while they were virtually all at one time used measures extreme (often including diet, drug use), to the point where even observers notice casusal protruding bones and railways thin bodies and wonder if they gone too far.

People are dying to be thin, and unfortunately, this shot turned out to be literally true on more than one time in the case of severe Anorexia.

SKINNY does not necessarily HEALTH

All too often, people forget to include "health" when they are setting their goals. It's just "lbs x" or size "X" or "X% of material fat body, but rarely a mention of health, energy, nutrition and quality of life.

There is one aspect of this "skin and bones scary Food "is even more alarming. I know that because I am a fat loss coach who has taken over 7,000 tests of body composition over the years, which explains why most people do not know this.

Dr. Title, in the Enquirer story, said that these plans "Leave the Diet Research skeletal bones protruding under the skin. "True. And many are clearly flirting with eating disorders.

But something I noticed that my experience is that starvation diets can often produce the opposite of the desired result. Instead of improving the composition of your body …

Your body fat ratio may actually worsen MUSCLE and you become a "thin FAT PERSON!

Exactly. Not only meager NOT = healthy, lean is not = thin, thin and probably does NOT = muscle.

diet are victims of famine "syndrome skinny fat "and they feed off lots of" weight ", but the weight is composed of more muscle than fat, so they end up with almost no muscle left, but the points remain stubborn fat!

Too bad they plan on all their muscles, because muscle is the engine of your metabolism.

Sometimes it is not the skin "and bones" diet for everyone, it is the "Bones and high-fat diet."

I measured the body composition of some women who, at first glance was thin, if not downright poor, and much to my surprise and dismay, I found they were carrying the body fat 'worse than the average range "!

A woman I tested was about 5 '7 "and 121 pounds. On the maps of weight or height by any other standard that would be slim.

And this shows lack of thinking only in terms of "thin", "thin" or even "weight": His body fat measured an astonishing high of 28%! That 34 pounds of fat 121 pounds, leaving only 87 pounds of lean mass and fat-free tissues!

Imagine an arm bone, with a buffer of a inch of fat around it, kind of foam insulation, as around a pipe. That's what his arm was like, that isolation "was pure fat!

When I took the back of his (very thin) arm, it was just a giant of foie gras! Literally no muscle – just bone and fat.

Are you now beginning to see the problem we have here the way most people follow a diet and thoughts? Do you know how slow your metabolism would be if you only had 87 pounds of lean mass? What would you say you are weak? Is this what you want really?

I used to think "fat" was bad. Then I discovered the "skinny fat" – nothing worse than thin-fat, no?

Not so fast, how about "skinny-fat, malnourished, sick and weak? NOW THAT'S BAD!

People so obsessed solely on pounds of body weight and appearance of "thin" or "thin", they are not paying attention to the health, energy, strength, muscle function and vitality – the things that count!

4 tips for "Fitness Model Diet" … NOT "SKINNY waif-model"

(1) First. Above all, do not deprive yourself.

diet of any very low calories may work at first, but that's exactly where the danger is – there is a false sense of success achieved with a rapid weight loss.

Rapid loss of body weight almost never lasts. The thing is, you knew that already. But if you desperately want to believe in the promise of quick fixes you know your own logic and act on emotions.

Never starve yourself. It is better to burn more calories with exercise and activities that cut more calories.

When you're active and burning calories, you can eat more, providing you with more vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, fiber, essential fatty acids and essential amino acids.

Good nutrition = optimal health. starve yourself = poor nutrition = poor health

(2) Second, you need to do strength training part of your exercise program life.

You must do resistance training. This is the stimulus and the signal to your body to maintain lean muscle mass when you are on a program modestly reduced loss of calories in fat.

weight training is not just for bodybuilders. There is no substitute for strength training in compliance, stoking your metabolism, will you look, making you biologically young and keep you healthy.

Yes – do your cardio too. But do not do cardio and I think that's enough. Cardio + weight of the exercise are two elements which when done in combination will produce the fastest results healthy fat loss, you can get, while maintaining all your muscles.

DO NOT DO IT!

Almost all the "skinny fat" people do two things:

1. starve themselves the same, the very regimes low calorie 2. Refusing to lift weights

(Three) Third, you must change your language.

Words are so powerful! Just change vocabulary can change instantly and start feeling change your behavior.

If we stop trying to be "lean" and stopped "dying to be thin" (What a terrible metaphor), and instead we focused on the theme "be healthy "and" Being Poor ", what difference it would.

What if you focused on "improving from your diet instead of "going on a diet, what kind of difference do you think would? Just the sound of that -" nutrition "- How do you feel by compared to "food?" I'm serious, think about it. What associations come with every word?

What if you added to your list of goals the desire to look and be "sport". How would that change your view? The rail-thin, protruding Look bones waif-model sport??? "

DO THIS!

Always include "good health" in your goals, not only to reach a certain weight or dress size. Always include "Lean be" in your goals, not just losing weight. Always focus on "nutrition" better not "dieting."

(4) Fourth, measure your body composition.

You should be aware of the difference between body fat and body weight and you have to understand percentage of body fat and body fat testing.

This does not mean do not use your balance and ignore what the mirror shows you and how your clothes off, it means doing all the above.

Always measure your body composition (skinfold caliper method or another), and understand what you lose – is it weight or fat? Is it water weight right? Could it be lean muscle you lose?

A single measurement will tell you.

Burn The Fat, KEEP THE MUSCLE

All I describes what you should do and what you should not do is the same approach as * natural bodybuilders and fitness competitors have always used.

These athletes can not afford to lose one ounce of muscle, so they train hard and eat up to 6 meals cleaning natural food daily to feed the muscle.

That's the approach I use to achieve the kind of physical condition you see in the image on my site, and "the approach I have been teaching others for years in my fat burning programs.

I hope that others who have worn that to be lean, will start focusing on the thing

It is not to be "skinny." It is to be "poor" and being "healthy."
