Your Fat Point

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Many people have long held the mistaken belief that everybody has a particular fat point where their body realizes that this is the level of fat that is normal to that particular person.

This is not true and we all develop our own fat point based on our lifestyles. While there are various different body types that are determined by our genes, the percentage of fat that we carry around in our body is not due to the genes that we have inherited. It is due to the food that we have been eating from the beginning of our life to the stage where we are at presently.

If you have been over eating for a long period of time and you have remained at a specific fat percentage for quite some time, then that becomes your new fat point. And that can change up or down according to the lifestyle that you choose to lead.

If you have remained at a particular fat point for a year or two, then your body will develop all the necessary requirements in the form of capillaries, connective tissues, hormonal levels and so on to support that point. You have determined what that point is and your body will now try to maintain the new level.

Your body will constantly monitor that new fat point by all the messages that are sent to the brain. If you were to go on a crash diet, your body would react to the fact that is sees this as an attack on that fat point and will do all it can to maintain what is believes is the correct balance. The maintenance can be in the form of a reduction in muscle tissue to save fat.

Unfortunately for many people, they don’t like to accept the fact that it is not their genes or anything else that has resulted in their fat point being too high.

There Is More To Weight Loss

Friday, November 14th, 2008

If you are willing to put in the extra effort, you can lose considerably more weight a lot faster by adding resistance training to your weight loss program.

Lifting weights will help to burn body fat quicker than aerobic exercise which is something that a lot of people don’t understand. Aerobic exercise for an hour or so will burn more calories than lifting weight for the same hour, however, weightlifting gives additional benefits after that hour that aerobic exercise doesn’t.

After resistance training, your muscles need to repair themselves and in doing so, this process burns even more calories consequently, you are getting the benefit of the calories that are burned during the exercise, combined with the calories that are getting burned as the muscles are getting repaired.

There is also another benefit that is obtained by weightlifting and resistance exercises and that is the fact that you will be building muscle mass.

Now many women get concerned thinking that they are going to look like a female version of Arnold Schwarzenegger (in his younger days), but not only is this unlikely without the use of steroids, it is impossible, particularly for a woman.

Muscle burns fat and by building up your muscle mass, you are creating a fat burning machine that will help to use up excess body fat throughout the day.

This is why people who supplement their weight loss programs with suitable resistance training, will reduce fat and get considerably better results in less time.

You also get the additional benefits of becoming fitter, improving your heart and bones and it also has a positive effect on your mental attitude. To some people,  just feeling better about themselves can solve a lot of the reasons why they overeat in the first place.

You don’t have to lift excessive weights for this to work as even light resistance training will be an added benefit to your weight loss program.

Are You Ready To Lose Weight

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Losing weight can be compared in a lot of cases to somebody trying to quit smoking,  particularly for a person who has been overweight for a long time and who has had bad eating habits for much of their life.

Like smoking, over eating is a habit that is quite difficult to break for the majority of people.

It is for this reason why many people spend the majority of their life going from one weight loss program to another in search of the Magic answer that will help to get them into the shape that they desire.

Once again, by likening this to giving up smoking, a person who is trying to lose weight will have a considerably better chance of success if they have made up their mind completely that this is what they want.

If you start a weight loss program without the intention of following through to the ultimate end and success, then the doubt that is always in the back of your mind will make it so much easier for you to fail.

For many people, it is more about what goes on in the mind than what they are putting into their stomach and you might have to deal with these issues first before you have any opportunity to lose weight and get in shape and feel fit.

Mind power is a very powerful thing that can work for or against you. By eliminating habits from your life, you will be retraining your mind to accept the new lifestyle as your natural state, whereby you will be able to maintain a good healthy body weight long term.

We do most things in life subconsciously including good and bad habits and by turning those bad habits into positive lifestyle changes, your body weight won’t be something that is constantly the focus of your life.

Just put your mind to it and do it!
