Cyber-Age Fat Burning for Deskbound Computer Users
How to Eat to Burn Fat Fast eat and burn fat food to eat to burn fat
By Sean Hamilton
A funny thing happened on our way to the brave new "high-tech" world.
Most of us ended up sitting at desks and working in front of computers --
and getting *fatter* along the way.
The National Center for Health Statistics reports that more than 60% of
U.S. adults are overweight. An estimated 87% of overweight adults are
deskbound, or have computer-oriented jobs that further propagate
weight gain.
It's not just the excess weight that is a matter of concern, but the fact
that sedentary people whose occupations revolve around computers
are at high risk for weight-related illnesses ranging from diabetes to
heart disease.
Okay, so much for the sobering statistics -- what's the solution?
"The body is constantly renewing itself in every second of its existence.
Ninety-eight (98%) percent of all your atoms come and go in less than
1 year. You make a new skin once a month, a new skeleton every 3
months, a new stomach lining every 5 days. Even DNA, your genetic
material, comes and goes every 6 weeks." -- Deepak Chopra,
best-selling author of Quantum Healing, and one of the world's most
renowned authorities on health
The human body is in a constant state of flux. By the same token,
your body fat and lean muscle mass fluctuate month after month. If
your body is constantly renewing itself -- and assuming that the food
you eat is the primary source of new cells -- then it stands to reason
that eating is the key to achieving your best body.
Question: What is the most powerful fat-burning product in existence?
Answer: Food
Don't let diet supplement salespeople tell you otherwise. Food causes
specific and precise biochemical reactions that make you store or burn
fat. It is more powerful than any diet, drug or pill, and it is food that
controls whether you are skinny or fat.
Bottomline: In order to burn fat, you must eat - instead of starving
yourself. In fact, you must eat frequently -- 5 or 6 times a day. Eating
several smaller meals a day cranks up your metabolism - and a
high-speed metabolism is the secret to weight and fat loss.
Eat and Burn Fat
Think of your metabolism as a fire in the fireplace. A fast metabolism
is like a roaring fire. Practically anything you toss into a roaring fire
will be burned up and completely consumed in no time. The same
thing happens if you have a fast metabolism. Any kind of food you
feed into it gets burned up rapidly.
A slow metabolism is like a small fire that doesn't pack a lot of heat
or burning ability. If you threw a log into a small, slow-burning fire,
it would take a long time for the fire to consume it. Likewise, if you
have a slow metabolism, big meals take forever to digest and
burn up - and in the process, your body stores most of the food
as fat.
But, if instead of the log, you threw in small handfuls of kindling at
regular intervals, even a small fire could be stoked to become a
fast-burning fire.
The same is true with your metabolism. Five or 6 smaller meals
(kindling) eaten at 2-3 hour intervals are better than big meals
(logs) that are few and far between.
Reprogram Your Metabolism - Without Leaving Your Desk
If you live a sedentary lifestyle, or are deskbound with rarely
enough time to workout, this weight loss plan is a no-brainer.
Frequent eating is an activity that will make your body more
metabolically efficient, thereby making it burn fat while idle --
and best of all, you can do it while sitting in front of our
computer or desk. If you do nothing else, you will lose
weight and burn fat, whether you exercise or not.
Most people mistakenly believe that the secret to weight loss
is exercise. Actually, exercise is not even half as important to
weight loss as eating. However, if you're on a sensible eating
plan, engaging in moderate exercise (particularly the right type
of fat-burning aerobic exercise) will accelerate your weight and
fat loss.
Foods to Eat to Burn Fat
To create a trim physique with healthy lean muscle, your 5 or 6
meals a day should consist of fresh, whole, natural, unprocessed,
nutrient-dense foods that metabolize very quickly. Avoid refined
and processed foods that are laden with sugar, salt and saturated
and fake (hydrogenated) fats which slow down your metabolism -
your fat-burning engine. A diet rich in lean protein can raise your
Resting Metabolic Rate by as much as 68%. So just by eating
protein, you immediately speed up your metabolic fire, thereby
enabling your body to increase lean muscle mass and decrease
body fat faster.
