Dieting? More is Not BetterWritten by Dr. Jamie Fettig
Exercising too hard This is probably most common mistake. As Americans we think if some is good more is better. And with physical activity, as I like to call it, this is completely not true. A couple of things you need to know first.Your Metabolism rate is speed at which your body converts sugar and fat into energy for daily use. The higher your metabolism rate, faster your body burns fat cells. One of largest influencing factors on your metabolism rate is amount of muscle you have. Generally speaking more muscle you have higher your metabolism rate. So you want to gain or at least keep muscle and loose fat. That is goal. The more muscle more fat you will burn sitting around doing nothing. When you do physical activity your body requires energy. The first place you body will get this energy is from sugar reserves in your system. This usually only lasts a couple minutes. Then your body will convert or 'burn' fat for energy. Converting fat to energy takes time. So as long as your body is not using energy faster than your body can convert fat to energy, you will continue to burn fat when you do physical activity. But as soon as you start using more energy faster than your body can convert fat, your body will start to burn muscle.
| | Dieting? You must Reset your weight-o-stat Written by Dr. Jamie Fettig
You need to reset your weight-o-stat. No matter how much you exercise and diet, if you don't reset your weight-o-stat, you will often go back to your pre-set weight. It is like your home. If thermostat is set on 72 and you open a window, temperature might change for a bit, but thermostat will kick in and bring temperature back to normal. Until you change setting it will be 72 in house. Until you change setting of your weight-o-stat, you will not be slim.The idea behind resetting this weight-o-stat is really simple. What you focus on you will get. So all you do is set up systems to reinforce your focus and brain will automatically change its setting. Your conscious mind is only about 2% of your power. Your non-conscious mind (and I call it non-conscious vs. sub conscious) is other 98% of your power. Your non-conscious mind only does what it is programmed to do. And it gets programmed by what you focus on. Action Steps: There are some proven ways to help insure your brain is programmed way you want instead of how it haphazardly turned out. You do not have to do all of them, but you must do some of them. And you can do all of them if you wish. It only speeds up results. I will be sharing a little more about these in future emails.
