Diet Shock

Prevent Diet Shock...then you can finally lose weight and keep it off.

Diet Basics releases a revolutionary new system that makes your diet work. The new system complements your current weight loss program and helps it to prevent diet shock and ultimately, weight regain.

Diet Shock Definition

Diet Shock describes a state of emergency energy conservation your body enters when faced with fewer calories and weight loss. In an energy conservation state, your body will counteract your own efforts to lose weight to protect against starvation.

Starvation? Yes, all diets lead to weight loss by lowering the amount of food you eat. When you eat fewer calories your own body interprets this as a potential food shortage and it responds by conserving energy, so that you can survive the famine.

It takes time for the body's efforts to show. Usually, by the time you stop dieting, the stage is set for weight regain, the gaining of weight during or immediately after dieting.

Diet Shock, initiated by dieting to lose weight, results in weight regain for about 67% of first time dieters. Bottom line...dieting causes weight gain, specifically weight regain! But it gets worse...

Diet Shock's Legacy

Diet Shock's legacy is the Yo-Yo Diet. You know, weight cycling, where you gain weight then lose weight and then gain weight and then lose it again, this is Diet Shock's main consequence.

Studies have now shown that weight cycling is as bad for your health as obesity. Does this mean you give up? No! It means you diet smart. How do you diet smart? By using a diet plan that not only leads you to healthy weight loss, but also prevents diet shock. Here is a list of programs that accomplish those two things:

None! No program is designed to lead you to healthy weight loss and prevent diet shock. So the professionals at Diet Basics developed, "Make Your Diet Work!" Our original, unique, and one of a kind program prevents diet shock for any diet plan you choose.

Make Your Diet Work

It's the only weight regain prevention plan available that stops weight cycling. Finally, you can lose weight, not gain it back, and keep it off for good.

9th grade science projects get kids learning about science, yet they won't even realize they're "learning." Simple science projects are sometimes the best way to demonstrate scientific principles in a hands on way.

Astrobiologists at NASA and elsewhere are now seriously considering the possibility that life on Earth originated outside the planet and was brought into it by space debris impacting its surface over vast stretches of time. Do these space debris only contain ordinary matter? The scope of evolution will be considerably broadened if they also contain dark matter. Were the first cells a composite of dark and ordinary matter? Did dark matter bodies co-evolve with ordinary matter bodies?

Biologists are beginning to realize that co-operation was just as important as competition in the evolution of life's diversity and resilience. Every cell in the human body contains a mitochondrion which is thought to be a bacterial cell which invaded an early eukaryote. Instead of being digested, both cells tolerated each other and began to live with each other - a merger which provided synergies to both.

It seems saving the planet is a big deal, a world-wide goal, but, if we are truly going to save the planet we need to consider a few things first. For instance can 10 Billion people live on the surface of the planet and if so, will the planet sustain them all? How about 15 or 20 Billion? Well, at our current consumption levels most likely not. What if we reduce or consumption; can it be possible then?

Today, although it is somewhat uncommon many are living over 100-years of age. Each year more and more people make it to their centurion years. Have you ever wondered what the high-end of human life span might be in the future? Well, sorry for the delay in the reply to this question of your, I do believe it does deserve a legitimate answer. So, will it be possible for humans to live to be 250, 500 or even 1,000 years old?
