True, if you begin an initial crash diet, your body will respond by shutting down and slowing down your metabolism. However, the ways to counteract that include exercise, which is why exercise is crucial to any diet plan as it raises your metabolism.
Another key component is eating several, around 6, meals a day instead of your typical 3 meals a day. Skipping breakfast is also bad as your body will slow down your metabolism early in the day. Ideally, you would eat a small breakfast (say a banana, apple, and whole grain toast), then do your cardiovascular exercise in the morning. Exercising in the morning will jumpstart your body and metabolism and will aid in losing those extra 5 lbs.
