FR vs CR

There is a misunderstanding in our society about dieting. There is a huge difference in trying to lose weight and changing your lifestyle to become more healthy. Just because you diet doesn't mean you become healthier. As a matter of fact you don't become healthier at all because your body needs certain minerals and amino acids to maintain body tissue and lean muscle mass.

This is where we begin today with the difference between FR (Food Reduction) and CR (Calorie Restriction). When you go on a diet you restrict the food you intake, but by doing that you are depriving your body of key nutrients and minerals. If you eat an average 4,000 calories a day and it consists of potato chips, bacon and beer and then you go down to 2,000 calories a day eating the same thing, you will probably lose weight. By reducing your calories no matter what you eat you will be able to lose weight, but it comes at a cost. Your body goes into starvation mode and the body needs a certain amount of protein, lipids,vitamins, minerals and yes calories.

On the opposite end of the spectrum is CR (Calorie Restriction). This is much different than just reducing the amount of calories you eat. Calorie restriction has to do with what you eat and how the body processes what you eat. If you were to eat a nutrient dense super food that has 270 calories then all of those calories are not wasted. If you were to go on a steady diet of nutrient dense food you would realize the benefit of not eating empty calories. You will feel full instead of hungry all the time. I often wonder how people eat a huge plate of food and then do the same thing several hours later. They are not getting satisfied because the calories they put in their bodies have no redeeming value. Hence the words EMPTY CALORIES.

When you restrict your consumption of food don't be fooled that you are eating healthier. So many people tell me that they eat well because they have salads and lean meats and they eat organic. That is taking a step in the right direction, but it is not healthier because you are eating less food. Depriving the body of key nutrients is the downfall of millions of people around the world. That is why diets don't work because you are robbing it of these key nutrients.

If you really want to make a change in your diet to a healthier one you can do it. The main thing that you must keep in mind is COMMON SENSE. If you are stuffing your face with a lot of bad foods and you know it is not good for you then common sense should come into play. Most people know that the food they eat is polluted and yet they can't stop eating it. I have one word for those people...STOP !! Start eating a diet that is CR. If you don't have the time to figure out a diet that is CR then do what I did and begin using the Isagenix products. They are nutrient dense super foods and provide the body with essential vitamins and minerals that it needs to survive in this toxic world.
