You can’t take to heart everything you read on the internet. First of all, I’m not an expert, a doctor, or dietitian. I took an interest in health and fitness about 30 years ago and read everything I could get my hands on. I still read about the newest trends in diets and exercise. It wasn’t until about 10 years ago that I got on the kick to lose fat.
Losing body fat is key to a slimmer, trimmer body. I learned the hard way that most of the “fad diets” do nothing to lose fat. They starve you and with additives that you get from the pills or foods they sell will empty out the digestive system which can be 10 or 20 pounds. Yes, water weight and the food in your colon will add up but this type of weight loss only gets rid of bloating, water weight and the food in your system at the moment. It does nothing to lose fat.
These type of diets are a waste of money and a waste of your time. I lost most of my body fat in a few months. I learned from reading newsletters, and posts on the internet that your body burns the foods you eat to create energy, that’s something we all know, but it needs to burn protein, carbs, and fat everyday. Here is the important part. The body is working on “real time” the different food groups provide different needs. Protein comes from meat and plants. About 20 percent of your daily intake should be protein. I prefer seafood and poultry for protein. Carbs should be about 50 percent of your intake and fats about 30 percent of your intake.
Carbs come from fruit, veggies, and grain. Fats come from plants like olive oil, avocados, and from meat. Now the important stuff. Your body will only process the amount of food it needs to create the amount of energy that you need for what ever you’re doing. In other words, if we are consuming about the same amount of food every day but are not active enough every day to burn that much food into energy, the excess will be stored in fat cells.
Now, the way I lost my fat was to stop eating animal fat. The body needs fat to keep your moving parts healthy and isn’t particular where it comes from. So because I wasn’t eating enough fats the body had to burn stored fats. I a few months I went from a 38 inch waist to a 34. My legs got thinner and overall I was losing fat. I’m 6 foot tall and weight 160 pounds today. I have new found energy and all those health problems I had disappeared.
I’m not going to presume that the method I used will work for everyone but everyone’s goal should be the same. Lose body fat however you can and become a thinner, healthier, and happier person with the energy you thought you lost. Just because there’s more candles on your birthday cake doesn’t mean that your body is getting older.
