thoughts on weight

I read an article recently that discussed weight from a physiological perspective. I won't get into all the details, I am going to paraphrase it. If your body is used to eating a certain way, and you all of a sudden change either by reducing carbs drastically or cutting calories, your body says "hey what are you doing?"

Your body truly is confused at this point, because you have changed your normal eating. Many people want to see a change within the first week or so, because they have changed so drastically. but your body takes some time to adapt to your new style of eating. At first it will slow down because it thinks you are starving it, then it thinks "hmmm" maybe this is OK, and it starts to adjust and the weight will slowly start to come off. Don't be surprised if the first couple weeks nothing happens. Sometimes your body will actually store fat because it thinks it isn't getting enough, and you could actually put on a pound or two. stick with it. Don't give up
