Easy Weight Loss Advice

Physical fitness doesn’t come in a pill, yet the other part of losing weight is keeping staying in shape. Yet you don’t need to join a gym, you have countless options to keep yourself active every day.

There’s also no need to count “fitness calories burned” - your goal is to maintain and develop muscle mass to help boost your metabolism and improve overall health.

Metabolism isn’t magic, it’s literally your body’s method for burning fat.

Even if you can’t do one pushup (here’s a power tip!) you don’t need to spend an hour at the gym - take a few minutes to dance in the kitchen or weed your garden - any activity counts as “exercise,” you are seeking enjoyable ways to move and stay active.

Metabolism and Weight Loss

Imagine the passport line at an airport.

People are lined up to get through the gate and the agent needs to stamp each passport before the holder can continue.

The agent can only process each passport one at a time so each person in line has to wait until their turn. As planes arrive more people appear in line and the agent keeps stamping one at a time, on and on.

Imagine your body’s metabolism is the passport agent, and the calories you eat are waiting in line to be burned.

Your metabolism has limits and can only burn off so much at a time - all day and night long - your metabolic rate can only go so fast.

Your metabolism has limits and can only burn off so much at a time - all day and night long - your metabolic rate can only go so fast.

Eating more calories means more time - longer lines - more time to process the food until it's all gone. So here calories are real not some meaningless number. Anything you eat will make the calorie burning line longer.

The difference between you and an airport is your body has storage for the calories. When you’re able to reduce caloric intake enough, your body senses this deficit and starts to burn the stored fat calories instead.

That’s why fitness has limits too. You can’t significantly boost your metabolism to burn calories faster. But you can shorten the weight loss line by curbing your appetite to make your body burn fat instead of food (by virtue of the food not being there!)

You may be curious about the calorie limit prescribed for you. Now you may understand why. You need fewer people in line to empty the passport waiting room!

Metabolism Matters

You maybe surprised to learn how your body eliminates fat. It’s a far easier proposition than you may expect, however the catch is the rate at which your body can do this is the key.

Thus your body can only remove so much fat in time (see carbon calculator below). This can be helpful when planning your meals and weight loss regimen.

The Simple Science of Metabolism

Are you suprised? The way your body eliminates fat is via your lungs! The CO₂ you exhale is how — the carbon of carbon dioxide comes from the food you eat. So how can we make more sense of this?

Every carbohydrate you digest and nearly all the fats are converted to carbon dioxide and water. The same goes for alcohol.

Protein shares the same fate, except for the small part that turns into urea and other solids, which you excrete as urine.

The only thing in food that makes it to your colon undigested and intact is dietary [fiber] Everything else you swallow is absorbed into your bloodstream and organs and, after that, it’s not going anywhere until you’ve [exhaled] it.

Watch and Learn

When you lose 10 kg, 8.4 kg comes out of your lungs [exhaled as CO₂] and 1.6 kg comes out as water.

This amazing TEDx talk spells it out for you in just a few minutes:

Weight Loss Nutrition

Raspberries are best recognized for their nutritional value and not revered as some magical weight loss remedy.

Healthy Weight Loss Dieting

Dr Aron has written about good routines for losing weight safely and with proper diet:

• Healthy weight loss foods
• Fruit and weight loss
• Don’t believe the hype on weight loss supplements

Raspberry Ketones and Weight Loss?

Pop culture Dr. Oz and others have cheered on support for raspberry ketone as a natural weight loss supplement. Dr Jennifer Seger from the American Society of Bariatric Physicians offers this response:

“Raspberry ketone [4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) butan-2-one] or rheosmin, is a compound extracted from raspberries, blackberries, peaches, apples, rhubarb, grapes and the bark of some trees. … [containing] compounds that are thought to exert anti-obesity actions and alter lipid metabolism. … Raspberry ketone has been used in cosmetics and as a food additive for decades, and in its “natural” state, it is quite expensive. Nowadays, raspberry ketone is primarily synthesized in a lab and is a very inexpensive additive … a population desperate for results and large profit margins, it is no wonder that raspberry ketone is one of the top-selling nutrition supplements on the market right now. At this point, though, the use of raspberry ketone can be based on only anecdotal experience and insufficient scientific data. Hence, I currently cannot recommend the use of this supplement.”

Why aren’t you losing weight?

Slow Metabolism could be a culprit

Fast, slow or so-so, your metabolism controls your weight loss. No matter how quickly your body burns calories, there are other factors involved. These are just some things that can slow down your metabolism, but the good news is you can easily control them.

5 Factors that can Slow your Metabolism

1. Stress

   How much stress are you under? It could be the reason you can’t lose those last few nagging pounds. When your body’s under stress, it releases the hormone cortisol, which tells your body to hold onto weight. Try to avoid stressors as much as you can, while also seeking out ways in which you can manage your stress.

2. Not exercising

   If you don’t burn enough calories through exercise, then your unused calories turn into fat. Be sure to exercise a few times a week to control your weight. Also wear a pedometer or track how many calories you burn through your exercise so you can keep up with your progress.

3. Poor diet

   Eating too much? Not enough? You’re asking for trouble. Feed your body the fuel it needs to get through the day and keep your body at a healthy weight. Believe it or not, eating too little or skipping meals could lead to weight gain. Instead, nourish your body with healthy natural foods to stay in top shape.

4. Not snoozing enough

   When you don’t rest enough, you can gain weight by disrupting your metabolic patterns. Sleeping an ideal amount of hours each night, however, can boost your metabolism. For adults, get between 7 and 9 hours of sleep each night.

5. Medication

   If you’re on any medications such as anti-depressants, they could cause you to gain weight as well. Discuss it with your doctor if you believe that’s the case and find out if there are other options that won’t lead to weight gain.

How to Lose Weight

Improve your health, too

If you haven’t noticed, keeping your metabolism in check means simply taking care of your overall health. While it’s important to want to lose weight, you also have to do it in a healthy, informed way. Follow the above steps and you’ll be on your way to a fitter figure, and you’ll also be leading a healthier and more fulfilled life
