Letters to Doc,
Dear billy, First of all, don’t be desperate. You can lose weight. Everybody can. And you don’t have to starve yourself to do that. That’s not necessary.
You see, when you deprive your body of sufficient calories, it loses weight at first- but in a few weeks your metabolism slows down to conserve energy. Worse, it starts accumulating fat. So, when you stop your diet and start eating normally again your new slower metabolism is much more efficient at converting food to fat. And your body adds a few exta pounds to its original weight as “insurance” against the next “famine”.
Each time you diet, your body is more effivcient at this cycle. The only way to lose weight causing this “famine reaction” from your body is to do it gradually. Your goal should be to make your body burn up its precious reserves of fat. But you have to do that little by little. Here’s what you should do: Avoid foods that are high in fat and calories. Instead, you should eat lots of fruit and vegetables. You should also increase your physical activity, like swimming or working out in the gym. Or exercising outside: running, biking , even walking. Walking an extra mile** every day will also help. Fresh air is good not only for the body but also for the soul. Do you play any sports? Join a club or a league such as basketball or tennis. You ought to reduce the time you spend watching television. And Billy, stay away from those chips!
