Losing fat has become the obsession for millions of Americans and yet, so many people go about it in the wrong way.
I am sure you have heard it before; to lose fat you must diet and exercise. But I am not just going to tell you this, I am going to include a "twist" that many weight loss gurus fail to mention.
You see, it is not merely eating the wrong foods that has made you fat. Even eating the right foods can make you fat if you eat too much of it. Losing fat is about achieving a caloric deficit by eating more of the right foods and less or none of the bad food.
"Caloric deficit" are the key words because you because unless your intake of calories is less than what you burn, you'll not lose weight. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard an overweight relative say that he has eliminated meat from his diet. And what does he then turn around and do, consume a diet mainly of refined carbs such as biscuits, chips, white bread etc to compensate for the lack of protein.
So one the one hand, he has cut calories by eating less protein but on the other he has probably surpassed his ideal caloric intake by eating too many refined carbs. It is akin to a man saying he has stop smoking cigarettes but then turned around and started smoking cocaine.
Another important twist in losing fat is to look at the source of your calories. The "source" will influence your body to burn fat or store fat. Lean protein is a fat-burning and muscle building food. Why do you think body builders try to get enough of it?
Eating refined carbohydrates, such as your white bread and white rice will more likely lead your body to fat storage than lean protein. Why? Consider this.
When you eat say 100 calories from a refined carb source, your body uses up 3 calories to digest that food. So your net caloric intake is 97 calories. But if you get 100 calories from lean protein, your body will burn 30 calories to digest it. So you net caloric in take is just 70.
So don't just think about cutting out foods here and there, think about your overall caloric deficit and the source of the calories. When you do this, losing fat becomes easier
