Did you know?
- If your weight loss program doesn’t focus on increasing fat burning you will never have permanent weight loss
- Increasing your fat-burning capacity is required for permanent weight loss and optimal health
- Remember – nobody wants to lose weight we ONLY want to burn fat
- Weight loss refers to a decrease in your overall body weight from muscle, water, and fat.
- Fat loss refers to weight loss from fat, a much more specific and healthful goal
- When you chose a weight loss program chose on one that focuses on fat burning
- Whether your body stores or burns fat is controlled by hormones
- You will NEVER burn fat if the fat storing hormone Insulin is at work
- When you focus on fat loss rather than weight loss you
– decrease the risk of several chronic diseases
– help reduce the risk of age-related muscle loss
– reduce fat regain
- Fat burning exercise zones are a myth invented by the fitness industry
- We actually burn most fat when resting/sleeping – as much as 85% of calories burned are fat
- We lose 50% or more of our fat burning hormones by the time we are 50
- BTW – you need to know if you’re losing weight from fat or muscle
- You can NEVER have too much muscle
- Referring to weight loss as fat burning makes weight loss programs simple and sustainable
- Sustainable is a very important word as yoyo weight is unhealthy on many levels, especially Thyroid and metabolism
- Nobody should go on a diet – the word diet gives the impression of a short term fix
- And dieting is promoted as ‘sexy’ and is very profitable for the food and supplement industry
- Studies about dieting for weight loss show that dieting rarely works in the long-term, so no sustainability
- The average UK adult tries to implement a fad diet 4 times per year.
- Within two weeks, 25% will give up on their weight loss goals.
- And yet we keep on dieting and are just getting fatter and fatter
- Whichever program you chose make sure you are persistent, make it your new lifestyle.
