Thats an extra 500 cals that your body doesnt need as its metabolic engine doesnt burn up as many calories. So instead of their body needing 2500 calories to maintain their new body mass, they might only need 2000. Because the body has lost some of its lean muscle, their metabolic engine has decreased. Ok so the person has reached their desired goal on their restricted diet (say 1000 cals) and they return to eating normally (2500 cals). Your body will break down protein and your lean muscle which you need just to satisfy your body’s needs.

Some green vegetables may actually have some of their calories burnt up just to digest them. There are some green vegetables in particular that are very low in calories.Įvery food requires some energy in order to digest it (called the thermic effect of food). You can eat a lot of them without getting fat – yet at the same time the fibrous content can ‘fill you up’. What is a fibrous complex carbohydrate? Green vegetables. Fiber (in the correct amounts) is good for the digestive process, helping food to be processed and eliminated efficiently (it keeps us running smoothly!) – and can prevent gastro-intestinal ailments.
