From Fat To Fit - The Truth!

Why is it so damn stubborn fat?

Obesity epidemic of modern times with many people finding it difficult to lose body fat, despite trying many different diets and exercise program. This does not only apply to clinically obese, but also people who just want to lose a few pounds of fat from their abdomen or hips found that despite numerous trips to the gym their bodies seem to be hanging on for dear life "for that extra layer of fat.
In this article I will share with you three major reasons for the accumulation of body and hanging on to excess fat.

Modern eating and no food

Modern eating habits are no doubt the biggest problem contributing to the obesity epidemic we see happening in front of us throughout the modern world today. Non-food is the term used to describe food that is nutritional value so low that the metabolic cost to eat the food tends to favor foods, leaving consumers in the malnourished state. Most, if not all obese people are actually malnourished. It can be a difficult concept to grasp - how can I leave food consumption malnourished

Most, if not all obese people are actually malnourished. It can be a difficult concept to grasp - how can I leave food consumption malnourished

This lack of nutrients in the blood steam causes the body to crave more food, but most people, when more food is concerned it is not food. This is what happens to people who are always hungry / can not stop eating. This is not because they are greedy, it is because they are starving.

the process of detoxification must also be taken into account. In non-food, you may find some or all of the following: antibiotics, pesticides and synthetic hormone residues, artificial colors, preservatives and taste increases. All these things can stress your metabolism and immune system and increase the toxic load in the body. Toxins are stored in our fat to keep them out of our blood and away from our internal organs. If your toxic load increases at a rate faster than your body can handle the likely response will be a shift in metabolism and appetite for increased body fat / toxic storage.

So how do we avoid these non-food? First of all we must take far greater care about what foods we put into our bodies. We need to stop shopping convenience and low and start shopping for your health. put food in your body and the body of your loved ones is one of the most important decisions you make, so if you're looking to save money and time, I strongly suggest you do it in another area of ​​your life, not health!

What does it take for food to add than subtract from your health? It's pretty simple really, it should minimally processed natural foods. You should consider a diet of meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, where buying organic products whenever possible should be a priority, and water should be your staple diet of liquids. Foods that come in packs and have a long term life and unpronounceable ingredients are definitely out.
good rule of thumb is if it is not on this earth ten thousand years ago we designed to eat.

Stress

Modern life is full of stress and our inability to effectively deal with it is the main factor that contributes to obesity / weight gain. stress that we face today is very different from the stress we were biologically designed for the face and therefore our biological coping strategies affect our weight. Our original strategy was biologically a quick spike in stress hormones and release of adrenaline to help us with the initial fight or flight, soon followed by increased appetite to help us recover from our physical exertion. It would be very useful to escape a saber-toothed tiger or fights for a rival cave man who was trying to steel your food, or even worse your caveman or woman.

, however, stresses we face today are more likely to consist of rush hour traffic, work deadlines, bills to pay, and if someone tries to steel your partner is no longer acceptable to be beaten by the club. Therefore tend to sit and stew in our stress without physical outlet for it, this way of accumulating over days, weeks and months. Oh and by the way, we still frequently have increased the appetite to help us recover from physical exertion that never took place.

Another problem with modern accumulative stress than a short quick bursts of stress that have been designed to deal with, chronic stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system (a branch of the nervous system which activates your body's stress response, and the "fight or flight "mechanism) leads to a reduction in digestive efficiency, which starts a vicious cycle that goes like this: insufficient digestion leads to poor conversion of nutrients from our food into energy, and the low energy leads to cravings for sugar and caffeine, sugar and caffeine will lead to further stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, and on and on it goes. It is now scientifically acknowledged that in the chronically stressed states lead to increased fat storage around the abdomen, not to mention all the other health risks associated with it.

Stress takes many forms, but apparently mentally and emotionally, what most people think. A detailed explanation of different types of stress is way beyond the scope of this article, so we will focus briefly on important points.

The most common and well known form of stress is mental / emotional kind. Although some stresses are unavoidable and inevitable, can certainly improve our ability to avoid those that can, and cope better with others. One of the best ways to do this is to work on developing a positive mental state where you see any problems you encounter May as a learning experience, and focus on the things you want to do, not what you want.

is also helpful to take time to do something for myself every day whether it be reading, listening to music, or gentle meditative forms of exercise such as yoga, tai chi or chi gong. Food and chemical stress are very common and very relevant to weight loss, and are dealt with in the first part of this article.

very common and often overlooked problem is that circadian / sleep stress. optimum time for us to sleep between 10:30 and 06:30, breaking this cycle leads to a hormonal disorder that affects our ability to recover from the previous day stress and cope with stress coming days. To improve your health, and circadian should get to bed on time, avoid bright lights at night and sleep in a pitch black room with a light touch of skin tricks your body into thinking it's time to get up and wake up releasing hormone.

ineffective exercise programs

ineffective exercise programs are very common, I'm sure we can all think about that person we see in the gym, the one who is always there still doing the same exercise, but their body shape never changed.

The two most common errors are excessive aerobic exercise and the use of relatively useless exercises like stomach crunches, and inner / outer thigh machines in an attempt to spot reduce problem areas.

There are many problems with this type of exercise, the first and most glaring is the simple fact that spot reduction just does not work, for one hundred crunches a day or even a thousand crunches will burn fat as your abdominal muscles, it will only lead to muscular imbalances . Like do not do what people want to do these types of exercise are extremely low caloric effect due to the fact that you use three or four muscles, as opposed to doing a proper free-standing exercises such as squats and step forward.

Dax Moy uses what he calls the 600 rule: it reflects the fact that there are about six hundred muscles in the human body, and you want as many of them as possible to work on each exercise to increase calorie consumption.

Now we come to another big problem which is a massive misconception that steady state aerobic work (like a long time to run the machine) is a good way to burn fat. Some trainers will advise that your body is burning more fat when you are working aerobically, but the fact is that only a higher percentage of calories from fat, but it'sis a higher percentage of a smaller amount . the total amount of calories burnt out way less than what would be achieved with anaerobic work (such as resistance training). body hormonal and metabolic response to aerobic training in the long run is more likely to store fat, just the opposite is true of anaerobic training.

Charles Poliquin who many consider the world's leading expert on exercise and conditioning refers to it as Cais (chunky aerobics instructor "syndrome). If you are disbelieving of this fact, then consider the example of female weight lifters vs. female aerobics instructor. In women's studies Aerobics instructors are shown to have more body fat than female weight lifters.

is also very clear that anyone who has ever watched athletics that sprinters have far less body fat than marathon runners. In both cases aerobicisers (marathon runners and aerobic instructors) actually spend more time than anaerobic training athletes (weight lifters and sprinters), but still maintain a higher body fat.

One of the most effective and time efficient method of burning body fat is through circuit training with a combination of body weight, no weight, and Swiss ball exercises. These types of exercises all fit in with six rules.

Conclusion

The modern lifestyle is what us fat, it's not just a matter of practice, it takes the right kind of exercise combined with diet and lifestyle changes alter your body.

there is some "lucky" people who may be under stress all the time and eat junk food and still manage to stay thin, but your body still has to pay the price for unhealthy living, these people need to change their habits as much as obese people to or it will eventually catch up with them in the form of middle-aged spread, chronic fatigue, degenerative joint disease or any number of modern day diseases that are unheard of a century ago.

None of these things are really that hard to do, the only thing that is hard about changing old habits, except that it is simply a choice.

Therefore making the right choice today and if you follow these principles and you will see amazing changes not only in how you look outside, but also to how you feel inside.
