What’s the Secret to Weight Loss?

Weight Loss

ULTIMATE GOAL: HOMEOSTASIS

Balance is the magic word when it comes to being healthy.

Our blood pressure has to be between certain numbers or we get in major trouble.

It is the same with our temperature, oxygen saturation and blood sugar. And most of us are aware of this and work on this.

We take medications as prescribed, because we want to see our grandchildren graduate and we want a long healthy life.

Nevertheless, many of us are overweight, obese even, and we do not seem to be concerned about that weight loss.

We recognize that we are fat and we make jokes about people who are even fatter.

Even though we know that exercise and a healthy diet are essential, we do not seem to be able to work that into our schedule.

Obesity

Obesity leads to a lot of health problems and disrupts homeostasis big time, but we have to go through that drive-through for our daily portion of junk food and we have candy in our cars and purses. It is time to do something about it. We need to at least try to lower our fat intake. We have to realize the consequences of doing nothing.

It is time for us to learn how our body works so that we can take charge and change our situation for the better. It is especially helpful to us to inform ourselves on how the thermogenic process works.

We take in calories and burn fat. To burn fat faster we have to boost our metabolism. People with a fast metabolism lose weight faster, easier.

A healthy diet is important, but speeding up our metabolism, triggering the thermogenic process, is just as important. It is important to those who have to fight obesity and it is important to those who want to prevent obesity.

When we want to achieve weight loss, we need to learn what it takes. Most diets are not the solution to the problem. Most diets are based on eating less or taking certain foods out of our daily intake. It will lead to all kinds of deficits. Vitamin deficiency will make us feel hunger at times that we should not snack. We will be more tired and not ready to fight infections.

Check out what can be done to accelerate the thermogenic process of your body. Take control!

THERMOGENIC PROCESS

Thermogenesis

THE EASY WAY OUT IS OK

Those of us who have a high metabolism tend to make coworkers and friends quite jealous.

We eat a lot and do not seem to gain weight accordingly.To burn fat our body activates the thermogenic process when we do something that triggers it.

Exercise is one trigger that activates the thermogenic process.

But our society does not have a lot of time for exercise. The guy who’s car always seems to be parked by the gym or the lady who runs by your house four times a day do not represent the majority of Americans.

For many of us exercise doesn’t go any further than chasing the kids around or climbing in and out of the truck. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator to go one floor up or down seems to be an impossible task.

Our houses and vehicles are heated to our convenience. Our grandmothers only heated one room in the house and it stayed cold everywhere else.

We park our car in the garage and the garage door opens and closes automatically.

There is no need for us to be exposed to cold, and so this also takes the exposure to cold factor away when it comes to how to activate the thermogenic process.

By taking exercise and exposure to cold almost completely away we do not do our bodies a favor.

We do not eat less than our ancestors used to do. At the contrary, we eat out and we eat processed food that is high in fat and sodium.

A healthy diet and triggering the thermogenic process with exercise and exposure to cold are what is missing.

Sure we could tell family and friends that they should follow a healthy diet. But is that not what we and the medical world have tried to do all along?

Face it! In this hectic world trying to put everybody on a healthy diet is not feasible. It is not going to happen. But if we don’t do anything, things are only going to get much worse.

Have you looked around lately? When two people try to pass each other in an isle at the grocery store and it won’t work because both of them are too big, and you see this picture reoccur almost every time you go to a grocery store, there is a problem.

Obesity is becoming an extreme problem because society has blocked out those things that trigger the thermogenic process.

There is a solution to the problem. We can introduce new triggers that will make our metabolic rate go up and we will burn calories. See it as a boost to healthier bodies in the twenty first century.

People in Africa realized all along that the Hoodia Gordonii, a cactus-like plant in the Kalahari Desert, has ‘healing powers’. The product that is made from the leaves of this plant helps us feel full when our body does not need food. That is a step forward on the road of weight loss and the fight against obesity.

The next logical step is to trigger the activation of the thermogenic Process. Fucoxanthin can help us with this. Fucoxanthin is a nutritional activator of the thermogenic process. Put the power of seaweed into action and fire up your metabolic rate. Stop feeling bad about the things we should do but do not have time for. It is ok to fight obesity the easy way.
