A serious search through many blogs, sites and medical journals relating to weight loss reveals a lot of similar information present in all.drink lots of water, watch your fat intake, count your calories and pretty much similar stuff in that line.one often wonders why they all say the same things. could it be that info on weight loss is very scarce or these tips probably work 100% of the time. more rigorous research reveals that most of these facts are infact 100% true.
first off, weight gain is as a direct result of calories, excess calories the body doesn't need.each person possesses a calorific threhold such that when the threshold is exceeded the excess calories generally gets converted to body fat.of course the body needs calorific energy for its normal activities such as breathing, walking, swallowing and other essential life activities, if we steadily consume a high protein and very low carbohydrate and low fat diet, we starve ourselves of the necessary energy required for body sustenance. an irregular heart rate, low body metabolism, irritation and in extreme cases anaemia are the likely consequences that could follow.
Another common advice that is commonly found in weight loss sites and manuals is "avoid fatty foods". you might ask why, since your favorite italian pasta is high on fat and you enjoy it so much. well, the simple reason is this. fats are in chemical composition very similar to fat storage cells in our bodies.In fact there exists a state of dynamic equilibrium or balance in our bodies , such that whenever our bodies experiences any prologed energy shortage, probably caused by sickness or intensive dieting, fat cells are converted into energy necessary for body activities e.g breathing, talking. etc. Also when there exists a net increase in the calorific content in the body, the excess is converted to fat. So as you can probably see, fats are much more easily stored in the body. Another reason to avoid fat is this among all the food nutrient groups we need they , they have the highest tendency to be accumulated for long periods in the body. Experts have deduced that more than 95% of certain types of fat consumed are usually stored in the body as fat tissues contrasted with less than 80% for other nutrient groups.
You probably also have heard a lot about exercising. The truth of the matter is, exercising can probably be your saviour from excessive weight gain if you lead a sedentary lifestyle.The food we consume, requires oxygen to be broken down into energy required for normal body activities. During this oxidation process where food is converted to energy, waste matter is also generated. The remaining food matter that cannot be broken down, digested or excreted from the body is usually stored.
Oxygen from the air we breathe is usually used for conversion of food to energy.The point to note is the more oxygen we take in, the more the food substances we consumed gets converted to energy and less into fat, that would eventually accumulate. So whenever you take a hearty meal, try to walk a little longer, exercise a little harder, and you'll probably remain in great shape.
When all these are combined with sensible dieting, as well as natural supplements, the results are astonishing. Losing weight is not as hard as you think. You just need to know and be convinced about what works and do it consistently to achieve results.
