EAT FOR FITNESS AND WEIGHT LOSS

EAT YOUR WAY TO FITNESS AND WEIGHT LOSS
With all the recent scares of salmonella and e-coli found in our food supplies, more people are growing their own food and eating organic. There is lots to be said for organic food and no toxic pesticides sprayed. I have recently decided to pay more attention to what I eat and get off the sugar and junk food diet. I've learned a lot about nutrition, stress and health and the importance that food plays in that equation.
I discovered a great guide book on how to EAT YOUR WAY TO FITNESS. This comprehensive ebook is loaded with information about the right foods to eat for weight loss, nutrition, energy and health.
Most available fitness, weight loss, and diet programs in the market today, advocate quick weight loss practices which may be disadvantageous and/or damaging to your health. The situation becomes a big issue and a potential problem if you happen to be diabetic, have carbohydrate sensitivity, high blood pressure, not physically fit or simply too lazy to engage in prolonged, sustained and intensive exercise and workouts.
Eating Your Way to Fitness very clearly explains in easy to understand English what an individual needs to know about the effective steps on how to set personal goals in order to achieve fat and weight loss - permanently! All the answers are contained and clearly explained in Eating Your Way to Fitness e-book. It gives you clear guidelines and instructions on how you can now enjoy your food (and snacks too) and at the same time lose weight at the rate of TWO POUNDS per week!!!
Here's What You Will Learn From Eating Your Way to Fitness E-book.
The Importance of Proteins and Carbohydrates in your diet!
How you can eat FATTY foods to help you lose weight!
How to maximize your water intake for a healthier weight loss program!
How to permanently lose weight and keep lean for the rest of your life!
Sure, you will lose more than 5 POUNDS within 2 weeks but do you know that those 5 pounds you lost include muscles too? Why? Because other weight and fat loss programs advocate severe carbohydrate restriction which is detrimental and may be dangerous to health!
You don't have to join a health club or a gym; all you have to do is follow the systematic approach to scientific weight loss by eating as much as you want (within limits of course) of yummy and tasty foods that you can choose from one of the accompanying reports and you are well on your way to a leaner and muscular body!

How And Why We Get Fat

Have you wondered what exactly the process of gaining fat is? If "yes", then keep reading.

There are two main reasons for getting fat:

* Consuming calories in excess

* Consuming high-glycemic carbohydrates

Calories in excess can come from fats, carbohydrates and proteins. The human body has two ways of getting fats into the blood stream. Here is how that happens and how the actual process of storing fat occurs.

The first way: Dietary fats pass through the lining of the intestines in the form of chylomicrons (long chain fatty acids) and are subsequently converted to triglycerides. This is the main form, in which they travel in the blood stream.

If the fats are in excess they are readily stored in the fat cells. The process is called lipogenesis.

The second way: Fats are also manufactured in the liver in the form of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and again are converted to triglycerides.

The liver has the ability to convert carbohydrates and proteins to fats as well, if they are eaten in excess and the body doesn't need so much of them for recovery and tissue repair.

The chylomicrons (fats, coming from the intestines) and the lipoproteins (the fats, made in the liver) have the ability to stimulate the synthesis of Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL). LPL is an enzyme, manufactured in the fat cells, for the conversion of the triglycerides to free fatty acids and glycerol.

Fats can enter the adipocites (fat cells) only in the form of free fatty acids.

Once inside the fat cell the free fatty acids need glycerol to be converted back into triglycerides (re-esterification), in which state they are stored.

Here is where insulin comes to play. Insulin, other than lowering the blood sugar levels, acts also as a stimulus for the fat cells to produce more LPL. It also decreases the ability of the fat cells to give out the fat, stored in them.

Another property of insulin is to carry glucose over to the fat cells. This glucose is the main source of glycerol for the conversion of the free fatty acids to triglycerides.

And yet another role of insulin in the body is to facilitate the conversion of carbohydrates to fat in the liver through the activation of enzymes, needed for this process.

In other words insulin is a main contributor for the process of storing adipose tissue (fat).

Why the consumption of high-glycemic carbohydrates makes us fat? Because it stimulates the release of larger quantities of insulin for a short period of time.

Conclusion: In order to prevent all of the above from happening we must:

1. Ingest total daily calories at or below maintenance level in order to avoid the conversion of carbohydrates and proteins to fat, as well as the introduction of large amounts of triglycerides from dietary fats in the blood stream.
2. Eat lower-glycemic carbohydrates and eat them in moderation in order to avoid spiking the insulin levels.
