How To Eat, Lose Weight And Burn Fat At The Same Time! - Part 4 Of 4
Posted on May 19, 2008 - Filed Under Health and Fitness
Nature provides you with a miracle substance that takes off the pounds while you eat: protein. Protein does this for two reasons:
1. Your body devotes a great deal of its energy to converting dietary protein to valuable body materials such as muscles, hormones, you immune system and materials for repairing cells, promoting youthfulness and vitality. It does so by availing itself of stored fat. This makes protein a real fat burner.
2. Muscles and fat-burning hormones are made up of protein. If you don’t consume 50-100g (2-4oz) of this high-power fuel every day you will lose valuable muscles mass, become sluggish and consequently gain weight. But don’t look to red meats and processed meats as you protein source. These foods supply purines, artery-damaging cholesterol and saturated animal fats. Healthy source of protein are fish, poultry, legumes and low-fat dairy products.
Too Little Protein And Vital Nutrients Makes You Fat
Protein needs to be broken down in your stomach and intestines into its tiny building blocks, the amino acids. This is the only way this valuable material can be transported to the cells, fortify your immune system and help build fat-burning hormones, muscles, nerves and organs. But if vital nutrients aren’t present, the protein remains in your intestines without doing its job. It doesn’t server as a fat burner of high-power fuel for your body. As a result, many people suffer from a lack of protein.
Obesity is your body’s response to too many “dead” nutrients and not enough vital nutrients. Vitamins and minerals act as the agents of energy metabolism. If they aren’t present, fat can’t be broken down and protein can’t be utilized and converted to muscles and fat-buring hormones. In other words, you put on more and more weight.
The Six Rules Of Slimness
1. Live naturally: Consume the fat burners available from nature. Every day eat five servings of fruits and vegetables. Snack on seeds and nuts, preferably raw. Reach for whole-grain and dairy products. Eat fish three to five times a week.
2. Get enough vitamin C: Ensure that you are getting enough vitamin C, which the body uses to break down fat. Citrus fruits are good source, or opt for a supplement.
3. Consider a nutritional supplement: Due to modern methods of food production, little that is healthy remains in our foods. Fill up your empty tank with high-quality vitamin and mineral supplements. Be conscious of the vital nutrients that burn fat: calcium, magnesium, chromium, iodine, selenium, and B vitamins.
4. Eat fitness-promoting combinations: Always combine protein (dairy products, meat, and fish) with carbohydrates (vegetables, salad, and fruit). This will provide you with both the vitamins you need for protein metabolism and the sugar you need for your brain. It will force your body to use its cushion of fat, to convert the protein contained in food into energy.
5. Stock up on protein: You need at least 0.4g of protein per 1/2kg (1lb) of body-weight daily. If you eat one serving of protein every four hours, you will always have enough materials to product the fat-burning hormones STH (growth hormone) and norepinephrine.
6. Never skip a meal: If you don’t have time to make a full meal, mix up a protein shake. Look for prepared mixes at a healthfood shop. Instead of satisfying your hunger with an unhealthy sandwich, shake up a skinny drink and accompany it with fresh fruit.
