All Fat Does not Jiggle

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 17:13:15 +0000

“She’s not Fat, she’s just a Big Girl”
Just because it doesn’t jiggle doesn’t mean it’s not fat !
If I could just have a dollar for every time I have heard a girl say that she doesn’t like to train legs because they get too big, or a gentleman tell me how he’s not fat, he’s just solid. I have news for you all … it is FAT!
There are different ways in which our body stores fat.
1. SUBCUTANEOUS.. The most obvious in fat that is held underneath the skin. This subcutaneous fat (under the skin) is what we see as rolls or that dimpled cellulite. It has mind of its own and you cannot flex it or suck it in. You cannot hold your breath and have a double chin tighten or a flabby arm feel firm. This fat is the ugly stuff that is shunned by society.
2. IMTG … INTRAMUSCULAR TRIGLYCERIDES. Droplets of fat can also be stored in muscle and it gives the appearance of a more ’solid’ physique, it is this fat that is often mistaken for muscle. Fat is also stored in the not so pretty muscles, like your heart and other organs.
Men and women matched for training experience and performance ran for 90 minutes at 65% of their VO2 max. 42% of the calories used in the women were from fat, of the calories used by the men only 20% came from fat (Tarnopolsky et al 1990)
Interestingly women are known to burn more fat (as a percentage of total energy expenditure) than men during exercise.
We are able to know this as we can test the ‘Respiratory Exchange Ratio’ (RER). The RER tells us the rate of carbohydrate and fat utilization based upon how much carbon dioxide is produced in our breath compared with how much oxygen we consume.
During exercise up to 50% of the fat used as energy comes from fat that is held within muscle (IMTG) the rest comes from that fat held under the skin and from the fat in our blood. In women there is strong evidence to show that women use a greater amount of IMTG during exercise. This will all be explained when I discuss how fat is actually broken down and vanished from the body, but for now, consider this. If women do indeed burn more intra muscular fat during exercise than do men, then wouldn’t that explain the frustration that we feel when we see very little difference for all our hours of training. We only see that subcutaneous fat that sits as rolls underneath our skin and we are less appreciative of the fat breakdown that occurs within the muscle.
VISCERAL FAT You cant pinch it and it wont jiggle or have dimples. Visceral fat sits deep inside the abdominal cavity and it surrounds your vital organs.
It is absolutely the most dangerous fat to have,
yet ironically it is not the ’stubborn’ kind of fat that hangs around despite all efforts. Duke University concluded that moderate exercise (30 minute brisk walk) can keep visceral fat at bay and by increasing the intensity you are able to get rid of the toxic tissue all together.
Sedentary people will see visceral fat accumulate year after year, this is no joke. It might be great to balance your beer can on but visceral fat is undisputedly a precursor for Insulin resistance (and so Type II diabetes), hypertension and cardiovascular heart disease. This is the stuff that will affect your quality of life and ultimately the length of your life.
There seems to be a strong hormonal influence with multiple endocrine associations being linked to visceral fat. Elevated cortisol and insulin levels are the villans but they are accompanied by higher androgen levels (in women) lower testosterone levels (in men) and lower growth hormone levels in both men and women.
Both men and women have androgens. Androgens are thought of as steroid hormones that are responsible for the masculine traits, but everyone has them and they are in fact a precursor for all estrogens. However in some women the androgen levels may be higher and then we see more of the ‘apple’ shape, the women with slimmer hips but wider waists. It is therefore also linked to estrogen levels and when estrogen levels drop (menopause) women experience the ‘middle aged’ spread when they add weight to their mid section, an area where they had been unaccustomed to holding onto weight. Estrogen hormone therapy can reverse this affect but the shift to abdominal weight is a common occurrence in both men and women as they age. As we age men see their testosterone levels drop and women experience a drop in estrogen. In both cases our own growth hormone levels are declining from about the age of 30 onwards. While this downward shift is taking place we might unknowingly be adding to the problem with elevated insulin and cortisol levels.
Cortisol in the simplest of terms is our stress hormone. Stress can be emotional and/or physiological. As cruel as life can be sometimes both of these hormones prove challenging as we age. Stress with work, family, health and the environment adds up and our bodies ability to deal with insulin can be reduced also. Poor diet exacerbates the insulin issue with the sugary foods and sodas creating an enormous strain on our physiological well being. You can read a lot more about insulin in by Carbohydrate E bood (www.joannelee.com) but to drastically summarize, Insulin is produced in response to a rise in our blood sugar. When we consume high carbohydrate foods (especially refined sugars) we elevate our blood sugar and insulin is produced to regulate and bring our blood sugar back down. Inactivity and poor nutrition demand an unhealthy overproduction of insulin, eventually even insulin cannot deal with the problem and we become insulin resistant … Type II diabetes.
The problem as I see it is that people don’t think that they are sick unless they have something tangible, like a cough or a broken bone. The most dangerous conditions are fermenting on the inside and as a society we are happy to take a pill if the doctor says our blood pressure is too high and maybe another pill is our cholesterol is a concern. The problems linked to type II diabetes include blindness, kidney, nerve and heart disorders. Type II diabetes used to be called ‘Adult onset Diabetes’ as it was a condition linked to advancing age. It is outrageous that it had to be renamed to Type II diabetes as too many younger people were being struck down as a result of lifestyle choices.
Visceral fat is dangerous; it has strong links to hormonal changes. Specific conditions because of their hormonal challenges are linked to visceral fat, conditions such as Polycystic ovary Syndrome, menopause, growth hormone deficiency, depression, Cushing Syndrome and of course aging. The avoidable conditions include smoking, excess food and/or alcohol and lack of regular exercise.
The good news is that, unlike ’stubborn’ fat, visceral fat is much more responsive to exercise. 175 men and women (all overweight and sedentary) were split into four groups. All of the people in the study were starting to show signs of fat accumulation problems.
Group 1 … No exercise
Group 2 …Low dose moderate (walked 12 miles per week)
Group 3 … Low dose intense activity (12 miles jogging per week)
Group 4 … High dose vigorous intensity activity (20 miles jogging per week)
No one in the study changed their diets
The study lasted 6 months for the inactive group, the other 3 groups had to do 8 months as they spent 2 months getting fit enough to participate in the study.
(Duke University author Dr Chris Slentz) The study concluded that there was no significant difference in visceral fat levels in the low dose exercise groups but as the intensity increased the faster they lost their visceral fat. At first it was thought that to ask inactive people to run 20 miles per week might be too much, but all of the people in group 4 were able to get to this level quite easily.
Group 4 saw visceral fat levels drop by 6.9% in 6 months; they also lost 7% of their subcutaneous fat (the jiggly stuff under the skin) Group 1 didn’t change anything and all participants gained visceral fat!
As a general rule then we can say that if you don’t want to add to the visceral fat you have already then daily moderate exercise should be implemented, but if you want to lose that deadly pot belly then it’s time to turn up the intensity and not to be held back by preconceived ideas of what you are capable of.

3 Things You Must Know to Burn Fat

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 11:01:52 +0000

No matter if it is the start of the summer bikini swimsuit season or the dead of winter, no one likes to have an excess of fat. Call it what you will spare tire, double chin, fat face, whatever…. burning fat is something we all strive to do at some point or another. Unfortunately we were not born with inside knowledge of how to burn fat. On top of that the latest snake oil salesman is chomping at the bit to sell us his latest cooked up scheme to part us with our money while frustrating our fat fighting efforts. In an effort to get you started on the right track here are 4 things you have to know in order to burn fat.
The first thing to remember is that muscle burns fat. That is right just having some muscle on your body can help to rid you of unwanted calories and in turn shed that ugly fat. Muscle mass even at rest uses calories. So having at least some muscle mass can help to keep you in shape even when you are not paying strict attention to your diet. So with this in mind be sure you always incorporate some form of weight or resistance training into your workout routine. You do not have to go all mister or miss Olympia in order to benefit from muscle mass either. Just doing a little weight toning exercise can add enough muscle mass to give you that extra edge. If you are a woman do not be afraid of the weights either. Those huge female bodybuilders go through all kinds of strict training and more often than not some extra illegal supplementation to get those huge physiques. So do not be afraid that a little weight training will turn you into the incredible hulk overnight.
Another thing to keep in mind when trying to burn fat is that proper nutrition is a must. You cannot expect to do a few workouts and then gorge yourself at Taco Bell or McDonald’s and still shed that unwanted fat. You might not have to go so far as counting every single calorie that you put into your body (although that is not a bad idea) but you do have to cut out junk like fast-food and sugar. Processed foods in general will hurt your efforts. Do not make the mistake of throwing away all of your hard exercise work for a few bites of cheap food that you probably will not enjoy anyway.
Finally when trying to burn fat you are going to have to realize that for the most part spot reduction is impossible. If you want those cut up washboard abs a million crunches are just not going to do it. You have to get your entire body in shape before you can hope the cut that belly fat. Keep following an entire regimen of nutrition and fitness and in the end the abs will come shining through.
Burning fat is something we all tend to struggle with so do not feel alone. You just have to get in there and work and soon you will be lying by the pool enjoying the fruits of your labor.

The South Beach Diet – Is it Right For You?

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 05:07:40 +0000

Overweight? Already hate your double chin and annoying abs? You might be planning what dietary plan you can take to get over your weight and size problems and the South Beach diet poses great possibilities. The testimonials say it works, it is safe and healthy. However, the testimonials are not enough basis to commit to it. First you must answer the question: is it right for you? Am I qualified for this type of diet?
Hopefully, the following article will help you decide what diet plan best suits you and your lifestyle.
South Beach Diet pros and cons
The South Beach diet was developed in Miami Florida by a cardiologist named Dr Arthur Agatson. He based his South Beach food list to the requirements of people who suffer from cardiovascular diseases as well as those who are possible to develop Diabetes which is also related to certain heart conditions. It comes in three phases: Phase is a two-week diet where carbohydrates and fats are eliminated – no rice, pasta, bread, cereal, meats and potatoes. The intention is acclimatize the body to such foods. In the second phase, the person is allowed to take very minimal amount of the foods restricted in phase I. As much as possible, carbohydrate content should be calculated up to 75 grams. Phase III serve as the maintenance stage which is meant to last for a long time since the body, by this time, should have adjusted to it.
In relation to this, the South Beach diet recommends less to no bad fats and bad carbohydrates consumption as these aggravate the disease. Naturally, because the body is rid of carbohydrates and fats, the outcome would be a better figure and better health condition at the same time.
As we all know, carbohydrates play a major role in the body metabolism and production of energy. With less amount of it in our body, the effect could be weaker muscles and senses and lack of vigor. This goes to say that South Beach diet is not the best for people who are always on the go. It is instead ideal for those who require minimal force in their jobs.
On the other hand, you can have a weight loss diet without depriving yourself of the carbohydrates you need. The Fat Loss For Idiots will tell another different thing for a cheapest offer online. The good news is that you can achieve better figure in just 11 days of eating delicious, safe, and healthy foods. The bonus is that despite that you are on diet, you do not need to monitor your calorie or carb intake, calculate body sizes, or take down notes. Fat Loss For Idiots reveals the easiest and fastest way to reduce weight without compromising your health, your work, and you life.
This is very contrary to what the South Beach diet dictates. While it is more strict, Fat Loss For Idiots is easier and lighter not only in the pocket but also in the body.
