The body is regularly
challenged by, and must react to, a variety of stresses.
Think about this "logically"
1. Before starting diet, calories were high and the body had a chance to adapt.
The body was within its "comfort zone" so-to-speak: An Anabolic State. It was getting more calories than it needed, and happier than ever putting on the fat tissue. It had, more than likely, more than enough carbs, proteins, and fats, and other micronutrients, it needed to survive.
It was cruising in full metabolic gear specific to the person. (or to you)
Suddenly, however, you apply the brakes:
2. You changed your diet trend--rather drastically--from the trend of the past--stirring up a "potential" atmosphere for a "quick adaption" due to the stimulus applied:
A. A 5 day calorie deficit. (as compared to a long length of calorie surpluses)
B. Calorie deficit WITH a carbohydrate deficit = water loss and the a prime atmosphere for fat loss. Not to mention the "potential" of side effects of being low on carbohydrates (dependent on the person and deprevity of carbohydrates)
And........
Since you were cruising, for lack of arguement ("normally"), you suddenly went off a cliff with your diet approach, which the body can tend to react strongly (both good and bad), and thus.......
Requiring an "adaptive response". (specific to you)
FEEL THE POWER OF BODY'S ADAPTIVE RESPONSE!
And,
be wise within your fat loss goal about the adaptive reponse:
This continues but can vary per person.
This
adaptive response is the very thing
that can hang people in their fat loss quest.
Because they tend to forget, that after the initial and sudden change, the body will AGAIN adapt (down the road) to what you are doing to it (in training and within the diet structure).
I want no one's spirit sucked out. We have enough of this going on in the world, and need more people trying to have people realize how they "can suck it in".
You take this "adaptive machine" we have and suck it in your mind.....remember it, and remember it WELL, deal with it correctly, and you will earn your goal.
The body doesnt like having itself for dinner, and will adapt and "try to overcome" by making "periodical" adjustments; likewise, you must adapt and overcome the attempts through knowledge of diet and fitness.
Here is a self test to see if you are finished:
Do you have a "pulse"? "Yes".Then it isnt over yet: GET YOURSELF ROCKEN!

Remember bodily adaption and remember it well.
