Losing weight is easy! The perfect diet is here –The Bucket Diet.
We have created a culture in our environment that consists of quick fixes, lack of delayed gratification and lack of awareness of the long term impact towards our health choices.
I was having a conversation with a good friend of mine that is highly respected in the Health and Nutrition Industry, Andrea Thatcher. She put the basics on the plate for us “everyday folks.”
THE BUCKET DIET is as simple as:
Merely spit into a bucket until you’ve spat five pounds! There…you’ve lost five pounds. But…how do you feel? You have indeed lost weight. Is losing WEIGHT the real issue? Or is it losing FAT?
Three components make up your body:
- Water
- Lean Weight
- Fat
——–
Water: is the main ingredient of your body.
Second is lean weight: Your muscles, bones, organs, and tissues.
Third is fat.
——-
Unfortunately, most diets disregard whether the weight loss is water, muscle, or fat.
Rapid weight loss will undoubtedly be from water that was stored in the body. Unfortunately, results are short-lived: the body detects dehydration and responds with anti-diuretic hormones. The result is subsequent water retention and bloating. You’ll lose one pound for every two cups of water – and gain it all back when you drink again.
Layman’s terms: Absolutely useless and very dangerous for your organs.
————————
Low calorie diets (under 1200 calories per day) does not supply the food energy the body needs for normal function.
These diets can cause loss of muscle tissue – up to 45% of the lost weight, according to Dr. Michael Colgan. Good muscle tone promotes a higher metabolism (the rate of burning energy) even at rest.
A low calorie diet signals “starvation” and triggers a fat-storing enzyme (YOUR BODY STORES FAT!). This encourages fat retention (YOU GAIN MORE FAT). Weight loss becomes unlikely (YOU DO NOT LOSE WEIGHT). Clearly, a low-calorie, quick weight loss diet that leaves you listless, irritable, dehydrated and bloated, and ultimately fatter is not what you want. It’s not just about the weight!
———–
Focus on losing fat while maintaining water and increasing muscle!
Decrease food intake calories (by no more than 20%) and increase your activity level to raise your metabolism. Gradual weight loss of around one pound a week takes longer, but the loss will be FAT and is more likely to stay off permanently.
———-
Your body’s healthy, natural weight is determined by your
genetics and lifestyle.
At this weight you feel fit and able to participate in your chosen activities. You’ll need between six months to a year of healthy lifestyle before your body settles at its healthy weight.
This means: eat healthy, exercise within healthy guidelines, get adequate rest and maintain a healthy attitude.
Dieting may cause a temporary weight loss,
but you’ll gain extra unwanted “baggage”.
By living a healthy lifestyle, you’ll lose fat weight, improve: energy, productivity, strength, endurance, sleep, SEX DRIVE, stress tolerance, immune system, risk from injury – to name a few benefits.
Choose Healthy Living. Your Body Will Thank You.

Christmas is just about here. Thanks for the great post. Be safe if your going out this New Years
Do you have any recommendations for somebody that may be a tiny over weight but wants to lift weights as well?
Would you chance to know if it is’s safe to lift weights while making an attempt to lose weight? I’ve made it my new years resolution so I’m trying to stay with it.
Frankie and Allen, thanks for the questions. I am going to let Andrea answer this. She will be back from holidays in a week.
Thanks
Hey,I came across this site last Wednesday and I have to admit that I have learned some sweet points as of now.I was hopin if you could post some more advice about the right way to eat.
Great post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well – resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case
Thanks for your question. The answer is YES!!! It is very beneficial to lift weights while trying to lose weight. Not only does it burn more calories during your workout, it will increase the amount of muscle you have which will burn more calories throughout the day. In addition, your metabolism will be elevated for up to 13 hours after a workout of lifting weights vs a cardio workout which will only elevate your metabolism for approximately 3 hours.
I would suggest you work with a Personal Trainer to help you with the best workout program for YOU and YOUR goals, and to ensure you are completing each exercise safely and effectively. This will also lead you to reaching your goals faster…!
Andrea

Stress isn’t only experienced by adults. Teenagers can also experience serious cases of stress that is caused by more than overactive hormones and an acne breakout. In fact, serious cases of personal stress can result in physical, emotional and/or behavioral changes, eating disorders, depression, and in extreme cases, suicide.
I thought it was going to be some boring old post, but it really compensated for my time. I will post a link to this page on my blog. I am sure my visitors will find that very useful.
