I Need To Lose This Fat Quickly

Wow, that was a common mantra of mine in recent years. That is, until I discovered the truth to losing and controlling fat, or as it is more commonly referred to, excess weight. Being overweight is not fun nor is it comfortable.

Most of us deal with this stigma at least once in our life but it does not seem to stop us from being judgmental about others with the same problem. We see others that are overweight and most often we assume they overeat.

Obviously that is the wrong assumption to make. First and foremost there are many medical conditions and medications that can contribute to weight issues. Secondly, lifestyles and genetics are major players in how we are shaped and our sizes, but most of all our weight depends not only on what we eat, how much, when we eat and how often.

For most of us, if we are reasonably healthy, losing fat is not that difficult once we understand metabolism. You see, metabolism is what regulates how our body uses the food we consume. Be sure to sign up to get a free report on metabolism - the form is located in the sidebar of this blog!

If we learn how to eat the right foods at the right times we can learn to work with our metabolism; this is more like the manipulation of our metabolism than working with it really. The more you know the easier it becomes and the whole thing is really not complicated at all.

To put it simply, your metabolic rate is determined by whatever is normal for your body. This normalcy can be adjusted by you. To keep your metabolism steady you should eat lots of small meals that are high in nutritional content at regular interval.

When you skip meals your metabolism slows down. This means that your body is not burning calories very rapidly. Your body does this while you are sleeping. Then when you wake up and eat breakfast you jumpstart your metabolism again. But if you skip breakfast your metabolism remains in the same mode it was in while you were sleeping.

What this all means is that you should be eating regularly. But you need to eat the right foods at the right intervals. It is not that hard to learn about or to incorporate into your life. The good news is that this information can be used for the rest of your life!
