FITNESS IS NOT A DESTINATION IT IS A WAY OF LIFE

FITNESS IS NOT A DESTINATION IT IS A WAY OF LIFE

First of all, a hard truth: if you are overweight it means you are eating too much. I simply said you are eating too much.

VGO

Let’s start from the beginning.

Food is our source of energy; it is the fuel that allows us to perform every task: from basic ones such as breathing, pumping the blood around the body and walking

Our bodies are efficient machines. Fat is the way your body stores extra energy.

Your body then proceeds to process that extra food and transform it into fat, which then gets stored under your skin a bit all around your body: your gut, (man) boobs, bum, legs and face.

You see, your brain doesn’t see fat as a bad thing. It sees it as a fantastic way to ensure survival in case you won’t be able to find food in the future.

The good news is: the reverse process also applies and it’s also very efficient: if you don’t introduce enough fuel (energy/food), your body will promptly go and take it from its fat reserves.

We keep talking about energy and fuel because it’s an easy way to picture it.. A calorie is a unit of measure of energy.

And why is this important? Because we can calculate it and plan our weight loss around it !

It’s actually very easy: eat less calories than the calories you burn and you will shed fat away.
