Lose the Fat-Keep the Muscle - The Power of Leucine

Ever wonder why when you lose weight, you look to same only smaller?

The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you ingest. Weight loss can be achieved by lowering your calorie intake and getting more physical exercise. 1200 calories is the threshold for weight loss. Taking in fewer calories than 1200 can put your body into famine response.

In famine response, our bodies start to burn calories from both fat and lean muscle. The burning of lean muscle actually decreases metabolism, or the ability to burn calories. Consequently, our bodies start to increase fat storage. This is where most diets fail.

We fall off our diets and go back to our old eating habits. The increase in calories unleashes the feast response. We are back to where we started, only now after burning lean muscle during weight loss, our metabolism is slower. With a reduced metabolic rate, any new weight gain is all fat.

Leucine is an essential amino acid that has been used for years by athletes and body builders. Leucine actually works to protect and build lean muscle mass. It also promotes the feeling of being full after eating.

Diet products with leucine help people lose fat, retain lean muscle and get rid of extra inches. Losing weight from fat actually changes the shape of your body. So instead of being just a smaller version of your bigger self, on leucine, you lose inches where you need it the most.

I recommend Cinch the Inch Loss Plan available on line at www.betterhealth4living.com. In clinical trials, in a twelve week period, participants on Cinch lost an average of 15.4 lbs., decreased their waist size by 4 inches, their hips by 3 inches, and their fat-free muscle mass remained unchanged. Conclusion, all weight loss came from fat.

If you are going to work so hard to lose weight, don't you want a hard body to show for it?
