General Health Fast Fat BurnWhen we want to lose weight, we want to lose fat, and hold onto our lean muscle. It looks better. It feels better, but it’s also smart and energy efficient. In order to lose fat, we need to boost our metabolism. Resting metabolism is what the body needs to maintain itself. Diet induced metabolism is the energy we need for digestion. When we’re active, we need energy to move the skeletal muscles, which is the third component of our metabolic rate. If we restrict calories severely, our bodies rob our muscles, so we lose lean muscle - our metabolism’s fat burning, energy efficient home.
With metabolism boost as a smart dieting target, the right exercise mix is critical for weight loss, and it’s time to be in the know. Conventional wisdom has been that cardio was the exercise of choice to lose weight, even when it increased appetite; even when intense cardio suppressed the immune system. The research showed that intense aerobic exercise targeted fat, so we swallowed it. Except it’s less effective for weight loss in women; less effective than an anaerobic/ aerobic exercise mix; and it has the self defeating side effect of decreasing lean muscle - our metabolic best friend, and major weapon for smart dieting.
If you look at fat loss from the standpoint of oxygen use, which is a key measure of metabolism, and if you look at the immediate effects of exercise by studying impact up to 2 hours post exercise, metabolism stays elevated up to 90 minutes after resistance training compared to 30 minutes after aerobics of equal intensity. This translates to faster return to resting metabolism; faster removal of lactic acid; faster restoration of oxygen to blood and muscles; faster return to lowered body temp; faster return to resting heart and breathing rates; faster return to resting hormonal levels; and faster cell repair.
It’s possible that intense aerobics may burn more calories during exercise, but anaerobic, resistance training will burn more calories post exercise. Mix up the two during the week, and take your favorite lo-cal All the Whey protein shake, and you’ll have all the tools you need for nourishing lean muscle, boosting your metabolism, and burning off fat. It’s the smart way to fat loss, from biology not hype.
If all that gives you a headache, try All the Whey’s new therma- lean, our advanced formula fat burner to the power of 4.
