Burn Calories So Your Body Doesn’t Store Them as Fat
The human body is programmed to use its daily budget of calories in such a way that it can function properly and also store what it expects to need for future use. This ‘energy reserve’ is stored as fat in the body. Periodically your body reduces certain functions, and thereby energy consumption, so that it has enough in reserve for future needs. This is an evolutionary trait, which was most likely critical to primitive man’s survival. As soon as your body senses the reduction in available energy, your brain sends signals to conserve for the eventual shortage ofexpendable calories. It reduces the absorption rate of food and slows down your metabolism and stores energy.
Here are some things that will help your metabolism burn fat instead of store it. Stay away from sugar because it will spike your blood sugar levels. Blood glucose gets converted to glycogen which is stored in fat tissue. Make sure you are getting adequate amounts of essential fatty acids. Molecularly distilled fish oil is a safe and worthwhile addition to your daily routine. If you have religious considerations you can find kosher fish oil supplements.
So in order to reduce our fat stores, which most often occur in women in the hips and buttocks and in men in the gut, we need to learn how our body utilizes fat as an energy source. Our daily caloric intake must roughly equal what we expend on a daily basis. A couch potato who consumes four thousand calories a day but barely burns half that amount has a body that: 1) has tremendous stores of energy in the form of bodily fat, and 2) has a metabolism that is now trained to automatically store energy.
