Big Fat Lies # 9
Fat Lost Lies # 9
"Lose Up To 2 Pounds Daily...
Without Exercise."
Yeah right! And you'll make a million dollars a day too...without working!
That's a whopper of a lie if I've ever heard one.
Trying to lose fat without exercise is like trying to sit on a chair without four
legs. If one leg is missing, your chair is going to fall over.
hard to stick to, and it's no fun! It's usually not wise to go to extremes in
anything and that’s as true for nutrition as anything else in life: moderation
is the key.
An effective fat burning program must have four crucial components:
1. Aerobic exercise
2. A nutrient dense diet with a mild calorie deficit
3. Weight training
4. Goal setting and motivation
Except for those genetically gifted, fast-metabolism types (that we all love
to hate), it ‘s extremely difficult (if not impossible) for most people to lose fat
permanently without exercise. It’s always better to BURN THE FAT than it
is to try to starve the fat (refer back to Fat Loss Lie #2 for the reasons why).
To lose body fat, there must be a calorie deficit. Such are the laws of
thermodynamics and energy balance. However, there’s more than one way
to create a calorie deficit. One way is to decrease your calorie intake from
food. The other is to increase the amount of calories you burn though
exercise.
Of the two ways to create a calorie deficit, burning the calories is the
superior method. This is because large calorie deficits cause muscle loss
and trigger the starvation response. Ironically, most people do the opposite:
They slash their calories to starvation levels and exercise too little or not at
all. This causes a decrease in lean body mass and invokes the “starvation
response.”
Paradoxical as it seems, the most effective approach to fat loss is to eat
more (keep the calorie reduction small) and let the exercise burn the fat.
You don’t have to starve yourself – you just have to choose the right foods
and make exercise a part of your lifestyle.
Why would anyone resort to starvation diets when they can burn fat more
efficiently through exercise? Perhaps they believe that eating more food
and working out at the same time will “cancel each other out. Maybe they
shy away from the hard work involved in exercise. There’s also a trend these days towards avoiding too much aerobic exercise because of the
