Why Dieting No
Longer Makes Sense:
Here's why dieting no longer makes sense and
new thinking about effective weight loss is the only solution, which we
have presented in “ A Simple Solution to
America
’s Weight Problem”.
Nature has built our bodies to survive starvation through
evolutionary process. When
you diet, your brain in an act of self-defense against perceived
starvation signals your body that you need more food, and lowers your
metabolism so you store more fat. Both actions make it harder to reach
your dieting goals.
With each repeated cycle of dieting, it takes longer to lose
weight and it comes back quicker. What's more, you are likely to
accumulate extra pounds each time.
*******************
Turning
Body Fat into Muscle--Myth or Reality:
It is a myth that by
following a proper diet and exercise program, you can turn body fat into
muscle. Fat and
muscle are two separate entities. You must burn
fat and build muscle.
Curious! When fat is burned, where does it actually go?
When you lose weight (by eating less and exercising more), an
enzyme located in fat cells disassembles the fat compounds and sends the
components into the bloodstream. Liver and muscle cells take up these
components and disassemble them even further, until what’s left is a
compound called acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA
then enters the Krebs cycle, a series of chemical reactions that takes
place in the mitochondria — the cell’s “power plant.” Krebs
cycle is a part of respiration process.
The end product of this dismantling of acetyl-CoA via the Krebs
cycle and subsequent cellular processes is:
Carbon dioxide, which is expelled when you exhale. Water, which
is lost as urine and perspiration. Heat, which helps maintain body
temperature. ATP, the molecule that fuels cellular activities that
require energy.
This is how body burns fat during weight-loss and produces
energy.
***************
What Stress
Has to Do with Overweight:
When you are under pressure, your body produces cortisol-a
hormone that tells your body to put out more neuropeptides and galanin.
As a result, you crave carbohydrates and fats.
The research has supported that stressed people end up being
obese.
While you can't eliminate stress entirely, you can learn to
control it. Find the best stress-buster for you-exercise, practice deep
breathing or meditation, perform muscle relax-and-release exercises,
take a warm bath, read a book, or listen to music.
“Art of Stress-free Living” by Dr. S.S. Dhillon is a good
start to handle stress. http://dpcpress.com/americasweightproblem/books_drd_ad.html

Surprising
Calorie-Burner:
Sipping ice water burns calories. Whenever you drink something
cold, your body raises your metabolism to keep your body temperature
from falling. That process burns calories: eight 16-ounce glasses of ice
water will burn an extra 200 calories per day.
Keeping
low heat in winter will also help burn extra calories and will save you
on energy bill
************
Dieting
vs. Your Set Point:
The only way to ensure lasting weight loss is to lower your set
point-the weight your body "thinks" it should weigh. When
people overeat, they generally gain weight only temporarily, returning
to their usual weight, or "set point" when they resume their
previous eating habits.
Similarly, when you go on a low-calorie diet, your body wants to
keep you from starving. As
a result, your metabolism slows to maintain your set point.
Therefore, weight loss occurs very slowly. When you resume your
normal eating patterns, your weight quickly rises to its former level.
To lower your set point, reduce your intake of dietary fat and
increase your lean muscle mass. In other words, lighten up your eating
habits and exercise enough to build muscle.
*****************
Why Regular
Exercise:
Without regular exercise, weight maintenance is exceedingly
difficult. The more you exercise, the more muscle you build. And because
muscle cells burn dietary fat more efficiently than fat cells do,
gaining muscle mass speeds your metabolism. Thus a thin person can eat
much more fat than a fat person without gaining weight.
****************
Do
not eat after seven in the evening:
Do
the best you can on this. However, you can eat all day long. And if you
stop eating after 7:00 p.m., you will reduce the calories accumulating
as fat at night.
************
Why Eat Walnuts
Walnuts are an excellent choice when it comes to healthy snacking.
Walnuts:
- Are a good vegetarian source of omega-3 fatty acids, protective
fats that promote cardiovascular health, help maintain optimal
cognitive function, and tone down inflammation.
- Provide heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
- Contain ellagic acid, an antioxidant compound that helps support
a healthy immune system.
- Yield high levels of l-arginine, an essential amino acid which
promotes healthy blood pressure.
Try adding walnuts to your hot or cold breakfast cereals, eat them
as a snack, use walnut oil in salad dressings, and add to pie crusts
for a nutritional boost.
