Obesity Epidemic
by Boyd Martin
Of course, the idea is to figure out ways to increase caloric output and decrease caloric input. So a combination of more than normal exercise coupled with below-maintenance calorie intake insures weight loss. Since the goal is to maximize calorie use (while decreasing calorie intake), what is the most efficient exercise?
Experts agree that although aerobic exercise is good for you, it is not the most efficient calorie-burning activity. Muscles burn the most calories of any body system. Therefore, working as many muscles as possible during a workout is the most efficient way to more rapid weight loss. Weight training, martial arts, or yoga are the obvious choices here. But whatever the choice is, it has to be enjoyable and has to produce results, making it much easier to remain on the program.
Nutritional Support
The following are the latest products designed to help the body use calories (increase metabolism), and to use stored fat.
Herbal Accelerator and LypoZyme: These enzyme/herbal formulas target the body's fat utilization strategies. The enzyme lipase is what the body uses to digest fat in the liver, and is the main ingredient in these formulas.
Carnitine: It is the "forklift" that carries fat to the mitochondria in cells to be burned. It is an energy facilitating ingredient. In a recent study, Carnitine caused an 11-fold increase in weight loss over a 12-week period. Carnitine also raises HDL (good cholesterol) and lowers triglycerides (precursors to artery blockages)
CLA (conjugated linoleic acid): Helps block fat cells from filling up, and increases muscle metabolism creating leaner muscles.
Grapefruit: Actively inhibits enzymes in the intestinal tract responsible for converting carbohydrates to fat. It is an excellent source of Vitamin C, potassium and folic acid as well.
