How meal composition affects fat loss 2008-02-09 07:17:00 Insulin and glucagon – the unsuspected keys to successful fat loss Insulin and glucagon play important metabolic roles.Insulin is a storage hormone, promoting the storage of glucose as muscle and liver glycogen and the storage of dietary fat as triglycerides in the adipose tissue.Glucagon is a release hormone. It triggers the release of stored fat and the breakdown of glycogen into glucose.Insulin and glucagon are inversely pared hormones – when one is high the other is low. For this reason storage and release do not occur at the same time. Which process occurs at any given time depends on the insulin to glucagon ratio:insulin levels are higher then glucagon levels => glucose and fatty acid storage occursglucagon levels are higher the insulin levels =>triglyceride release and glycogen breakdown occurs For optimum fat loss glucagon levels must be, most of the time, higher then insulin levels so as to maximize the amount of triglycerides “broken down” and used for energy produc ...

Read this article and find out the truth about fats and how adding certain kinds of fats to your diet is not only beneficial but even critical to your well being.

Increased protein intake, faster fat loss? 2008-01-25 14:06:00 Before laying out the guidelines for optimum protein consumption, let’s take a moment to examine what happens when not enough protein is consumed and to address the question of “How much protein does an active person need?”How much protein does an active person need?Protein has a mainly structural purpose in the body; the amino acids that result from the digestion of protein are used for the synthesis of non essential amino acids and other various compounds (different hormones, cell components etc.).Besides the small amount of amino acids floating around in the blood stream and in the muscles, the body has no “real” storage mechanism for amino acids.Because of this, it is critical to supply through your diet the amino acids the body needs for synthesis purposes. Failing to do so causes protein deficiency. When in a prolonged state of protein deficiency the body reacts by breaking down muscle tissue and, eventually, organ tissue to provide for it’s basic amino acid needs.Now ...

Warning: Light weights and high reps won't tone your muscle 2007-11-10 01:28:00 LuckeyStoke has nice muscle tone!After years of being told that high reps increase muscle tone, I'm here to tell you to take the opposite approach. Read on to find out why it is actually heavy weight/low rep training that tones your muscles.The question most asked by novice trainees is: “How do I get the firm and toned body I always wanted?” The answer they will likely receive to this question is: “If you want to tone do light weights and high reps.” But guess what… your personal trainer or good intentioned friend is wrong! Read on to find out why light weights and high reps don’t tone your muscle and what should you do for excellent muscle tone. What is muscle tone anyway?

Maximize exercise after-burn: Secrets of burning body fat fast (I) 2007-11-08 14:56:00 Just pick up any modern fitness and bodybuilding magazine and chances are that you will find a “new” exercise program that will “greatly accelerate” the post workout fat burning rate. Although well intended these programs most of the time lack scientific evidence to back them up and lead people in the wrong direction as far as what needs to be done in order to maximize post workout fat burning. [fine tune your fat burning furnace with this simple trick below]The purpose of this article is to present what exercise after-burn is, what factors influence it and to present a couple of scientifically back up programs that maximize post workout calorie (fat) consumption.

Why training with weights is a must. 2007-11-06 11:22:00 In the fitness world, there are very few things all people agree upon; the fact that, no matter what your goals are, strength training should be a part of your workout is one of them. And for a good reason too.Some of the benefits of weight training are:1. Burn more body fat.The short term benefit of weight training is that it burns calories while you do it, at a rate of about 150 calories per 30 min.If you compare this with cardio, which can burn up to 500 calories per 30 min, you may be tempted to skip weight training and do the cardio.Why not do this? Because of the long term effects of weight training; research has shown that post workout increases you Basal Metabolic Rate by as much as 20% for up to 48 hours after the workout.So a person that has a BMR of 2000 calories will burn an extra 400 per day besides the ones consumed working out. Cardio does not have this effect.2. Reshape your body.Weight training leads to stronger muscles and joints which have a drastic impact on posture ...

Who else wants to discover how to build a diet that forces your body to burn more fat? 2007-10-23 10:23:00 If your main goal is losing fat what you should know is that if your diet is no incheck then no amount of exercise or supplements will help you reach your goals. A balanced diet is the base on any fat loss program – have a weak base and everything will crumble.Also, you should know that a lot of people misuse the word “diet” – a diet is not a 12 week quick fix, it is “food or feed habitually eaten”.

Most diet books fail to get this point across and the ones that do fail to offer a way to re-engineer your diet simple enough so that every one could use it.Building a diet that forces your body to burn fat is a very simple process.I. Revise your food list.You should aim to be eating only natural, unprocessed, fresh and nutrient rich foods.

The importance of goal setting 2007-10-20 14:15:00 What is the number one reason for failing to lose body fat? I’ll give you a hit: It’s not a lack of knowledge regarding dieting and exercising.If you answered “failing to set clearly defined goals”, then you got the answer right!You see, the great challenge for people isn’t to find the knowledge but to take action on it. Goals fill this gap.It’s not enough to wish to change. You must define state and set a deadline for the wish in order to transform your dream into a goal. A goal with a purpose is the fuel that propels you forward."The strangest secret in the world is that you become what you think about.”- Earl Nightingale.Earl Nightingale is right that you become what you think about so instead of telling yourself every day that you can’t do it why don’t you imagine how you would like to look, set a deadline, make it a goal, write it down and read it everyday.Also, when you have a goal you will be more focused and determined. See the guys and gals wandering around t ...

The basics of fat loss 2007-10-20 14:08:00 The only way to lose fat is stated in the law of weight/fat loss also known as the law of energy balance:“In order to lose weight you must use more calories than you eat every day.”A calorie is a measurement for a form of energy – heat.The food you are eating releases, when digested, an amount of energy (heat). So each type of food has a caloric value.The total amount of calories that you consume in a day is the sum of the caloric values of the foods eaten on that particular day.Calories are also used as a measurement for the amount of energy stored in the body as adipose tissues (fat) or glycogen (stored carbohydrates).The amount of calories that you use in a day is also known as your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) and consists of:• The calories used for normal bodily functions like digestion, circulation, eating etc. – your Basal Metabolic Rate.• The calories used while performing physical activities. What happens when your total energy expenditure is greater then ...

Weight Loss VS Fat loss 2007-10-20 13:10:00 The mistake that most people do, when they want to start a exercise program and diet, is to think that the bad shape their body is in is caused by a excess of weight.With this idea in mind they go on crash diets that produce a lot of weight loss at the begging. The problem with this crash diets is (and if you were on one previously you would know I'm right) that after a period they stop working and that the weight lost is gained back. Some people even end up weighing more at the end of a crash diet that they weighed when they started.These people failed because they failed to determine that -excess body fat - is the true cause of their problem and not their weight.Your total weight is the sum of:- your muscle mass- body fat amount- water weight and the weight of the food you ate.When you go on a crash diet the weight you lose is water weight and the weight of the food you ate. It is logical that when you start eating again you will rapidly gain it back. And, after that period of starv ...
