Burn Your Excess Fat
June 14th, 2009 -- Posted in Fitness | 4 Comments »Obesity is termed as the excess accumulation of fats on the body. This can be a danger to both your physical as well as your mental health. Diet and exercise are 2 definite ways to reduce ones weight.
.Eating foods that are high in calories and eating way more than your body demands are factors that lead to obesity. Lack of exercise also helps to gain unnecessary fats. Obesity leads to heart related disorders, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. In addition it also leads to humiliation and self consciousness.
Carrying excess fat is unhealthy. The only effective way to lose body fat is to increase energy expenditure by exercising more and/or decrease energy intake by eating less. A combination of the two in moderation is probably most effective, since dieting alone is often accompanied by an adaptive reduction in metabolic rate (resting energy expenditure).
Men store fat mainly around their bellies, while women collect it at their hips. Burning fat is the hard part. It’s a complex chemical process and happens all over the body, not just at the muscles you’re exercising. The trick is getting your body to dip into this stored energy supply, spurring the liver into converting the lard into a usable source of energy.
It is important for you to know, however, that no matter which routine of exercise you choose to follow, it will not really be effective for you unless you accompany it with a proper regimen of diet as well. In order to lose weight effectively, you will have to embark upon the two fold course of cutting down your diet and hiking up the exercise quotient of your program. This will not only show long term and permanent results, it will also be more effective in keeping weight off. Essentially, keeping the weight off should be your goal. Remember to cut back on carbohydrates, but not eliminate them, as they are the main providers of energy to function.
Ways to remove fat from diet
A raw food diet creates major improvements in health. A large part of cooked food can go into fat production, because heat and acid alter it making it unmetabolizable in other complex processes. By contrast, raw food should break down into components which can be directly metabolized in a variety of cells. The easiest way to reduce saturated fat is to choose reduced fat dairy foods, limit foods such as pastries, pies, pizza, biscuits and hot chips to once a week and trim all meat and poultry of visible fat before cooking.
Raw food digests marvelously well, so a person does not notice the acid, bile and residual effects of digestion that go with a cooked food diet. Adding a little bit of cooked food to a raw food diet doesn’t work well, because acid is then produced in the stomach, and it is bad for raw food. Acid and raw foods tend to create indigestion. Fruits and vegetables digest through different processes when raw. Eat fruit in the morning and vegetables later.
A problem however with raw foods is that they are the highest in pesticides. Organic raw foods may be necessary, unless a person is very clever in working around the worst pesticides. The effects are quite noticeable, which allows adjustments to be made.
The usual assumption is that the only supplement which is needed in theory is vitamin B12, because it is primarily found in meat. It originates with microbes, and very little is needed. Outside link on B12
If you are suffering from obesity, then on a daily basis you must start your day with a healthy breakfast. A glass of orange juice, a bowl of cereal with a fruit or dry fruits and a glass of milk will keep you satiated till lunch time. Avoid a mid day snack and then keep lunch simple. Do not eat any carbohydrates for at least 15 days in the month. A fruit at tea time will be a good option and at night you can have salad. Whole grains are good options when you are on a diet.
