Weight Loss
Weight Loss= Proper Nutrition and Exercise Ever notice you can kill yourself on a treadmill or any other cardio machine for 30- 60 minutes for weeks and hardly shed a pound? No wonder we see burn out in the gym in a few months. What if I could show you how to exercise in LESS TIME and increase your metabolism and burn MORE CALORIES during the other 23 hours in a day? This is done by Metaboilc Resistance TRAINING which requires a few minutes of hard exercise at a time with appropriate rest times in between each interval. All of this is monitored by a heart monitor to avoid under and over training. With good nutrition and this type of training, you will get healthy and safe results that can last, FAST! Metabolic Resistance Training
There is no way around it, you need BOTH nutrition and exercise to drop weight.
Hierarchy of Fat Loss Training (Alwyn Cosgrove)
1. Metabolic Resistance Training
tied with
Strength Training
2. High Intensity Anaerobic Interval Training
3. High Intensity Aerobic Training
4. Low Intensity Aerobic Training
Tremblay a, Simoneau JA, Bouchard C. Impact of exercise intensity on body fatness and skeletal muscle metabolism. Metabolism, 1994 Jul:43(7):814-8
2. DECREASES SUBCUTANEOUS FAT (fat under the skin) up to 9 times more than aerobic training alone.
3. Is EASILY MONITORED for appropriate intensity with a heart rate monitor.
4. DECREASED CORTISOL (the hormone that makes you retain fat) rise vs other forms of exercise.
Weight Loss Nutrition
Weight loss is not rocket science. So why are we treating it like it is?
In today's society it is HARD to lose weight, solely because a majority of the food offered to us is not nutrient dense. Take, for example, a Nature Valley Fruit and Nut bar. Only 140 calories, sounds good, doesn't it? But, five of the ingredients are man-made sugar. Yep, only 35 calories are from fat but way more than those are going to be converted to fat. You will probably crave carbs in an hour because your blood sugar was raised high quickly. Your body is going to expend extra energy trying to process what your DNA is not designed to use for fuel. Now, compare a Maple Nut Cliff Bar. There are more calories (240), but there are only 4 ingredients with sugar and they are all natural. (There are vitamins and minerals that are retained in natural sugar that are destroyed in the refining process of sugar) Although there are more calories, this bar is more nutrient dense and therefore your body will have better building blocks to use. Your body will immediately know how to process and use them and won't spend precious energy trying to figure out what to do with it.
We are designed to be hunter's and gatherers. We used to have to hunt for our meat and grow grains, fruits and vegetables. This required a lot more energy expenditure than going to the supermarket, leaning on a cart and sauntering down the aisles. While I appreciate not having to grow all of my food, our bodies are not designed to eat and process man made stuff like sugar substitutes and refined sugars. We can do it, but over time it takes a toll and I believe there are side effects we haven't even come close to identifying yet. Just think about it...when was the last time you saw someone gain weight by eating too many fruits and vegetables?
If we quit buying the empty calories like cookies, sodas and pasta, the food industry would make healthier items to choose from. Take 5 minutes to read some of the labels in your cupboard, I was shocked to see cereals "high in fiber" and "health bars" I thought we healthy had a lot of sugar hidden in them. Just changing these little things can make a world of difference!
Weight maintenance: Calories from food and beverages = calories expended
Deprivation = Binging
