Weight loss is not provided by a secret. Rather, it is provided by documented, well proven facts and not theories or pills. Here are the facts, as we know them, and there are no other mysteries, secrets for hidden methods available in the known world, at this time. Here it is: in order to make weight and bulk disappear it is necessary to have one and only one thing take place. That is that there must be more energy burned, by the body, than is taken in. If this does not occur, the body will either remain fat or it will get fatter. That’s the fact. If you have a desire to lose weight, this must be accomplished in one fashion or another and there is no scientifically proven medicine, pill, powder or capsule that contains a magic ingredient that will allow one to share their blood supply with a couch and lose weight.
If you are taking or considering taking some advertised pill or substance that claims to the contrary you are either very naive, a fool or desperate. If you are compelled to give away your money, I will personally send you a lie and allow you to send your money to me for no extra charge. On the other hand, I will now attempt to convince you of what you need to do to lose weight both safely and somewhat rapidly, for free.
Here are some facts for you: There are only two known and recognized by the science of physiology ways to cause the reduction of weight and body mass. Here they are, paraphrased but the meaning is clear.
Number one: As mentioned above, you must produce more energy output than the amount of calories (measure of energy) that you take in by eating. Energy is provided by the body itself. There is no magic energy source lying around on the ground charging the body all the time. No, the body makes its own energy based on the amount of certain types of foods that are ingested into it on a daily basis. As it makes this energy, it uses it immediately.
The body knows how much energy it needs and produces it in order for you to think, move and talk, etc. After it uses the energy it makes some more according to its needs. So, for example should a person take in the amount of 1000 calories of food energy and then go for a run around the track that uses up 1500 calories, the result will be an abundant need for more energy. That is how that works.
Number two: It is then necessary for one of two specific body hormones to control the direction of your weight. Those hormones are insulin and glucagon. When lots of energy producing carbohydrates are being placed into the body, the insulin is in control. Not only is it in control, it is running amuck in most times. This is because most people eat way too many carbohydrates. You see, carbohydrates are the main energy source for the body and if the body does not use the energy produced by carbs, it simply orders the insulin to go store the energy as fat in the many storage rooms around the body. These storage rooms are known as the butt, the belly, the thighs, the chest, the upper back and numerous other locations on your body that are getting much larger. If we don’t use the carbs, they are turned into fat. That’s a fact, jack!
As an example let us say that you eat some type of yummy, high carb candy bar or maybe even some crunchy potato chips. Both contain around 1000 calories, let’s say and once you eat them, you go out and ride your bike about a mile, burning up about 500 calories. Uh oh…you didn’t work out long enough to burn that entire candy bar so the energy that is left over, is taken, by insulin, and stored in your belly area. There is will stay until it is needed for a fuel source. Tonight, you eat your dinner and go for a short walk. That dinner was around 2000 calories but your walk only burns up around 200 calories so you’ve got an excessive amount of calories left over. Mr. Insulin simply takes those 1800 extra calories and stores them in your butt. This goes on day after day and pretty soon those extra stored calories mean an extra belt size or dress size. You see where this is leading?
First, carbohydrates are used because they are used up quickest and most efficiently. That is the extent of their use, energy production.
Second, if no carbs are available, the body starts converting the stored fat into carbohydrates so that it can be used as energy.
The very first line of energy production is that of carbohydrates. They are made just to be burned as energy and fuel for the body’s many furnaces. It gives off no by-product and burns cleanly with the few extra particles produced from the burning process just thrown down the waste toilet and there are very few of those.
Secondly and only after there are no carbohydrates, is fat. Fats are the second-line energy products. When fats are burned, however, there are some metabolites produced and these must be washed out with increased amounts of water.
If the carbohydrate consumption is so low that it cannot provide the amount of energy that the body needs to keep it going, the body starts turning to other bodily sources of energy. As the carbohydrates start to dwindle, the insulin does also. Once the insulin has nothing else to do, it simply goes back to sleep until it’s required again.
That’s how it happens and in the order that it happens should it happen at all and let’s hope that it never does because one would be in bad shape if it came to the protein step. However, let’s examine the first two steps and consider them for the use of losing some weight.
When insulin is no longer the dominating hormone in food production, the new sheriff, Glucagon, enters the arena and immediately starts to clean house. Glucagon has the opposite effect of insulin. It takes all of that fat that was stored in your buttocks, your belly, your chest, your hips, etc. and brings it back to the cell furnaces and starts to burn it up for body energy. Since there is no longer a readily available source of easy burning carbohydrates, the fat is easily burned.
The hormone now taking control, and the one we want to see in that position as much as possible, is Glucagon. Once glucagon takes over it begins to immediately clean up the mess that insulin left. Because there are very few or no carbohydrates coming in to produce energy for life, glucagon orders all the fats to be transformed into energy and used to keep the cell furnaces stoked. So fats start pouring out of the old storage rooms in the thighs, the belly, the hips and everywhere. The energy is being used up very quickly. Soon, you start noticing that your pants size or dress size is going down and your clothes are getting looser. Weight loss is occurring rapidly now.
Now here is a fact for you. If you should find it within yourself to perfom a little bit of extra exercise, you will witness very rapid weight loss because the glucagon will be forced to increase and empty those fat storing warehouses even faster. You will experience a more rapid weight loss in all those very special body locations.
This is how it’s done and, should a person decide that they want the process to work even faster, all they have to do it get out and perform even a minimal amount of movement (exercise). The more energy used, the more the fat storehouses are emptied and the faster the weight loss occurs.
For those who may have an interest, there is yet one other thing that can be used to make the process more efficient and, thereby, more rapid. That is by using the appropriate food combinations to allow the stomach and GI system to gain efficiency by limiting the types of foods eaten with each meal and to use this phenomenon to make weight loss occure more rapidly.
With all this going on, there’s one specific action that can also be taken that may cause the weight to peel off that much faster. That is to start using certain food combining methods to make the digestive process more efficient and faster. One such program is linked in the resource section.
I had no distress, no bloating, I didn’t feel the necessity to eat again within an hour and no need for caffeine after meals. Treatment For Diverticulitis GTNP is merely a way to make all symptoms disappear for good and present you with a lot more energy. When I started following the system, I personally was amazed at the quantity of energy I had, even late into the evening.
