This article describes exactly how you stimulate fat burning in your body. By applying these easy, healthy and efficient methods, you quickly fall off.
If you apply what is in this article you will:
- Up to 3 kilos per week, every week again.
- Every kilo you lose does not get any more (no yo-yo effect).
- Never have to go hungry again.
- Know exactly what you can and can not eat.
Eat and move to lose weight
Diet and exercise are two natural factors that determine your weight. By enough exercise and healthy foods, you will lose weight fast.
Food
Our modern diet contains a lot of carbohydrates, such as grains and sugars. From these carbohydrates, you get the energy to survive. According to scientists, however, your body has been 'made' to get energy from healthy fats and vegetables and not from carbohydrates.
In the millions of years of evolution, humans have only been eating a lot of carbohydrates for the last few hundred years. All those hundreds of thousands of years before we ate mainly healthy fats and vegetables. Your body is not yet adapted to the modern diet with many carbohydrates, such as grains and sugars.
In The New York Times a study by Dr. Ludwig and his team described in which it is shown that the amount of carbohydrates in your diet mainly determines your weight and not the amount of available energy. Your body is still used to getting the energy it needs from healthy fats and vegetables.
In the same study, Dr. Ludwig says that healthy, fatty foods produce much more available energy than carbohydrates do. In other words, (healthy) fatty food provides available energy. Rapid weight loss is the result of the burning of this available energy.
The more carbohydrates (such as grains and sugar) you eat, the fatter you are. And the more healthy fats you eat, the more energy you have. The healthy fats, in contrast to what many people think, do not cause problems with your heart and vascular system. According to a scientific analysis conducted by the American Heart Association, people who eat a lot of oily fish or other healthy fats get a heart attack less quickly.
Movement
Our modern exercise pattern consists mainly of long periods of sitting still (behind the computer for example) and for the 'healthy' people three times a week at least half an hour of exercise.
In the millions of years of evolution, man has only been moving so little in the last decades. All those hundreds of thousands of years before, we were actually constantly moving and we had short periods of extremely intensive effort.
The human body is made to move, not to sit still for long periods. In a study at the University of Leicester, it has been demonstrated that the risk of overweight can be reduced by simply moving more and sitting still.
The human body is not, however, made to make long intensive exertions (such as more than half an hour of running). A study done at the University of Amsterdam indicates that 37% to 56% of long-distance pavers have injuries annually.
In addition, long periods of intense effort cause the stress hormone cortisol to be produced. Cortisol has all kinds of negative effects on your health and on weight loss.
I will tell you in advance: you do not lose weight fast by walking faster.
Short and extremely intensive exercise, on the other hand, causes you to burn a lot of energy without overloading your body for too long. In his book Body By Science, Doug McGuff (MD) writes that 12-minutes of extremely intensive training per week yields more weight loss than running three hours per week for an hour.
Our body is made to move almost continuously with occasional short moments of extremely intensive exercise. This ensures the right biochemistry in your body so that you quickly burn body fat and so quickly lose weight.
No more sugar and carbohydrates
Our diet has changed dramatically in the last decades. Nowadays we eat a lot of produced food. Generally, food produced contains many carbohydrates. These carbohydrates are converted into sugars in your body. A white sandwich, for example, has been converted into sugar in your body within the foreseeable future. Examples of carbohydrates are pasta, rice, potatoes, pizza, and bread.
Carbohydrates contain energy. But the energy from carbohydrates is very easily stored as body fat.
The solution for the nutritional factor is to eat just like we did thousands of years ago lots of healthy fats, lots of healthy vegetables and a lot fewer carbohydrates.
More healthy fats and vegetables
The human body is made to convert healthy fats and vegetables into the energy we need to live. By increasing the number of healthy fats and vegetables in your diet, you lose weight faster - without having an annoying appetite.
We all know that vegetables contain important nutrients to keep ourselves alive. Unfortunately, the number of nutrients in vegetables has declined sharply over the past decades by intensifying agriculture and horticulture. Growing too many vegetables per square meter results in a decrease in the nutritional value of the vegetables. Some vegetables are no longer grown on the cold ground but on stone wool. In order to get enough important nutrients, it is important that you eat about 400 grams of vegetables (preferably organic) per day.
Try to eat as many different colors of vegetables as possible one day. The color of the vegetable indicates what nutrients are in it. The more different colors of vegetables you eat, the more different nutrients you get. In particular, dark green vegetables contain many good nutrients.
Fats still have a negative name in many people. Fats are often associated with cardiovascular disease and obesity. It is true that there are certain fats that promote overweight and cardiovascular disease. I call these fats the unhealthy fats. Unhealthy fats are mainly produced fats (including the so-called 'trans fats'). In contrast, healthy fats prevent cardiovascular disease and obesity. These healthy fats all originate from nature (both natural and animal fats).
Examples of healthy fats are:
- cold water fish such as herring, mackerel, sardines and wild salmon
- grass-fed meat
- free range eggs (rich in Omega-3)
- walnuts/walnut oil
- extra virgin olive oil
- coconut oil
- linseed/linseed oil
- sunflower seeds
- pumpkin seeds
- sesame seed/sesame seed oil
- avocado
