Why it’s hard to lose fat
I saw a great TV show yesterday about loosing fat in our bodies. And I will make a resume of what I’ve learned. First I’d like to say that it’s really hard to lose fat, because the metabolism starts looking for energy in other parts of our bodies first. So this first part of the body is the liver. It has energy stored in it and our metabolism starts there. After it’s done with the liver, it goes to our blood. Yes, blood also has the energy to support our body, so when we’re eating less or exercising, blood is on the second place. And even after blood, it’s not time for the actual fat. So what’s the third place? It’s our muscles. And that’s why the yoyo effect starts. Because if we eat less, our muscles became smaller. And after we start eating normally, our smaller muscles don’t need that much food so we get more fat then before. And finally, the fourth place our metabolism goes when it’s looking for energy – the fat reserves. So you can see why we’re not loosing fat from the start. That’s why we really need to watch our food intake (less fatty meals and more vegetables and fruit) and we need to exercise hard. By that, I mean lots of weight lifting and other weigh exercises, not only cardio training. Hope that will put some clearance in your knowledge about losing weight. Good luck!
