Do you want to lose weight fast...
...but you are seeing poor results from your diet or exercise? Then spend
5-10
minutes of your time on reading the information
below.
Let's start by considering what happens to the food that you eat?
It's The Glycogen!
The body uses a substance called glycogen as it's primary energy source. It
is
derived from the foods you eat and it is stored in the muscles
and liver mostly.
The liver stores around 1500 calories while the muscles store much less
than
that.
Now you could exercise at a moderate pace for around 30-45 minutes on
the
glycogen stored in your muscles. However when you stop the liver
begins to
replenish any glycogen lost from the muscles. Next time
you eat, the body
digests the foods and replaces all the lost
glycogen in the liver. This happens
continuously so a constant
supply of energy is present in the muscles.
If you need to lose weight fast you must take this into
consideration.
It's Not Just Reducing The Calories!
Many people believe - because that is what they are told - that you can
lose
weight fast if you reduce the number of calories that you
intake. They claim
that this will force the body to use stored fat
to replenish glycogen lost from
the liver and this will result in
rapid weight loss. Well this may happen but
not in the way most
people think. The body WILL replenish glycogen lost from
the liver
but not immediately from fat. It will wait until you decide to
eat!
And notice I said liver, not muscles!
Your body is in no hurry to draw on its store of fat. This is a last
resort.
The fat on your body is saved and is there only be used if
there is a severe
famine. It is easier for the body to breakdown the
foods you eat and use them
for energy instead of the stored fat that
it has been saving for so long.
So How Is It Done?
Now if you want to lose weight fast you can trick the your body into
burning
stored fat to replace glycogen stores lost from the liver
without restricting
your diet and/or potentially harming your
health.
The body will use stored fat for energy if the glycogen
stored in your muscles
is completely depleted. You can achieve this
in three different ways.
-
Through a strict low carbohydrate diet. (Not a good idea!)
-
Aerobic exercise. (Recommended)
-
Anaerobic exercise - resistance training such as lifting weights
etc.
(Recommended)
An Uncomfortable truth
Now - just because you exercise it does not mean the glycogen in the
muscles
will
run out. Even if it did it does not mean
they will stay that way long enough
for the body to revert to stored
fat for energy.
So, if you were to exercise for 25 minutes at a moderate pace, you
would
probably burn off just half of the glycogen stored in the
muscles which means
that no fat is burned off at all.
This may be not so bad. After all you are burning calories and so
preventing
further weight gain which probably better than any
so-called "
quick weight loss diet
" will do for you. However, no stored fat is used which
means that you will
see no reduction in the size of your body and
you will not lose weight. This is
why so many people exercise
religiously and yet are very disappointed with the
resultant weight
loss!
Now what if you were to exercise for 10 minutes or so and then stop to rest
for
a few minutes, or if you are like most people in the gym and you
stop for a
chat with friends. At this point you would have burned
off 10 minutes worth of
stored glycogen in the muscles. All well and
good but what you probably don't
realise is that when you stop the
liver immediately starts to replace all of
the glycogen lost in the
muscles.
So when you resume the exercise you won't pick up where you left off
because,
if you rest for too long, it is possible that all the
glycogen lost from the
muscles is replenished. In fact you may well
be right back where you started
and if this were the case you can
forget about fast weight loss results.
So How Is It Done?
So now the question you must be asking now is, "Do I have to exercise for
30-45
minutes non-stop in order for the body to revert to stored fat
for energy so
you can lose weight fast?" Well happily no! There are
programs that allow the
body to acheive
maximum weight loss
by making use of stored fat for energy in a little as 6 minutes
after
starting exercise.
