Is it possible to burn fat before it gets stored in the body?

Posted by admin, under Burn Fat

I dont know if i worded the question correctly.

Lets say I eat a slice of pizza and then a half hour later I swim laps. Is it possible to burn off the fat/calories that I ate in the pizza before they have time to get processed through the body? Or is the fat that is burned during exercise stored fat?

It would make sense to me that after burning 'new fat' (the fat from the slice of pizza) that after that new fat is burned, THEN stored fat begins being burned off. Is that how it works?

Your body has to get more calories than it uses to store the energy, that is how we gain or lose weight. Regardless of whether what you eat is fat calories or complex carbohydrates it is the same thing. If you exercise and burn more than you ate then you do not gain weight. Your idea of burning the calories before you digest them is not the way it works. You can not burn off calories before they leave your digestive track. You do not burn off the new calories while they are in your stomach or intestines. So if you are counting calories and exercising eat healthy and you can control your weight.

Finding a Diet that Works

Posted by ama, under Lose Weight

Lots of people need to drop some weight, and lots of people are forever searching for diet plans that are effective. It's not really difficult to find weight loss plans that are effective, but finding a program a person can stay with is the problem. The 46.8 billion dollar diet industry (as of 2005) depends not on people staying healthy and staying thin, but rather on people taking an endless roller coaster ride between health and fat. Because repeat business brings in the cash, the focus is naturally on the up and down reality of bad living followed by short stints of diets and health programs.

Here's a diet that sheds pounds. Drink only water, eat only 1000 calories each day, and combine it with 30 minutes of aerobic activity 5 times a week. It's a sure thing you'll shed pounds. But there are two difficulties. The first is that cravings are likely to foil the diet. 1000 calories and all that exercise will eventually lead to massive hunger and binge eating. One piece of cake, or just one bag of chips, or one extra hot dog will soon steer you to dropping off the diet. #2 the diet eventually ends. You eventually go back to eating the identical old way. Next beach season, or next time to put on that dress or tuxedo, or next vacation, or simply the next time you glance at a mirror on the way out of the shower it will be time to return to a diet to lose the unwanted pounds.

The best diet is a forever diet. A lifestyle change to healthier eating habits and more physical activity is the best way to lose weight and keep off the weight. The Sonoma Diet, created by Connie Guttersen, discusses ten “power foods.” The power foods are almonds, bell peppers, blueberries, broccoli, grapes, olive oil, spinach, strawberries, tomatoes and whole grains, eaten in conjunction with the cuisine of the Sonoma country, which includes Asian, Latin American and Mediterranean foods and dishes. The diet is full of real food, and real portions, combined into enjoyable dishes to help encourage someone to stay with it .

Want a diet that works for healthy weight loss? Shift the focus away from a short term diet to a long term style that's part of an overall healthy and active lifestyle. That's the way to not only lose the weight, but to avoid gaining it in the first place.
