Losing Weight, Losing Fat<\/i>
\nAs we know too much fat besides being unattractive, is not healthy and causes a lot of problems. Being too fat causes clogged arteries, heart disease and high risk for heart attacks and diabetes.\u00a0\u00a0It is so important for us to regulate our cortisol levels by controlling our behavior pattern towards food, and get into a healthy lifestyle as part of our daily routine.\u00a0\u00a0\u200e
\nOur weight is determined by the rate which we store energy from the food that we eat,\u00a0\u200eand the rate at which we use that energy. Our body breaks down fat as we lose weight, but we cannot reduce the\u00a0\u200enumber of fat cells we have. We will always have the same number or fat cells we were born with. As we lose weight each fat cell simply gets smaller and as we gain weight our fat cells expand.\u200e
\nFat cells are our body’s emergency storage, they store fuel for us just in case we need it later on to survive. If we didn’t have fat cells, we wouldn’t have survived the famines of the past. During the holocaust the people who survived were the ones who had a larger fat store. Fat cells are a sophisticated survival mechanism that is unfortunately getting all the wrong signals today. Our body was not designed for the constant intake of food, especially the processed junk food that contains preservatives and high levels of sugar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
So you woke up this morning and looked in the mirror as you have done for the last number of years, and like every one of those mornings you wish you would look better and may even hate the way you look. You wish away your fat stomach, large thighs, flabby arms and legs. You feel completely helpless. Wouldn’t it be amazing if there was a magic potion that would transform your body into perfection? It would get rid of all the fat and cellulite to match that inner image you would like your body to be to make you happy. Women, in general, have a much harder time losing weight. I know there is nothing scarier than the feeling of losing control of our body. It seems to have a mind of its own, taking the shape and size it chooses. I also know that it is maddening that no matter what you do, and I know you’ve tried everything, each time you look in the mirror or weigh yourself you see that you have gained yet more weight. This is the panic point when you lose hope and are at a loss for what can be done. It is frustrating when you get “advice” from well-meaning friends, criticized by family members or your partner. They don’t understand why you complain about your weight. You claim to be eating healthily and exercise regularly. You do everything right but you are FAT!!! So what’s keeping you fat??? It could be one of three things or all three: Your body is in stress. Your body is in “safe mode.” You may have a medical problem like an underactive thyroid, diabetes, or gastrointestinal inflammations such as undiagnosed celiac disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9237,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"product_cat":[30],"product_tag":[],"yoast_head":"\n
