So, those extra & unused calories will be converted to fat and stored lor...<BR/><BR/>I got something from the Internet.<BR/><BR/>* There are gender differences in fat distribution. <BR/><BR/>* Women tend to deposit fat on the thighs and buttocks while men deposit fat around the middle.<BR/><BR/>* In both cases, the tendency is due to an abundance of lipoprotein lipase – an enzyme that is necessary for fat storage – in those regions.<BR/><BR/>* Because lipoprotein lipase is produced by fat cells, it preserves one’s fat distribution in times of weight gain generally rendering women into “pears” and men into “apples.”<BR/><BR/>* Regular activity (exercise) is accepted as the key to weight loss and control.<BR/><BR/>* Although moderate to rigorous exercise may be necessary to reduce abdominal fat stores, there is increasing evidence that people who are 20 percent or more above their desirable weight may benefit from even such low-intensity exercise as walking at a rate of 2 miles per hour for 30 minutes a day – if they do it on a regular basis.<BR/><BR/>* If you are overweight and have an apple shape, a reasonable approach is to begin to exercise at a comfortable rate and gradually build up to higher-intensity workouts.<BR/><BR/>* If you are not overweight but are gaining weight around the abdomen, try exercising at a higher rate for at least 30 minutes a day.<BR/><BR/>* Both the number of calories consumed and the number of calories expended through activity determine the amount of energy stored in fat.<BR/><BR/>* As weight falls, so do lipoprotein lipase levels and the basal metabolic rate – the number of calories required to sustain body functions.<BR/><BR/>* When dieters begin to eat a maintenance level, metabolic rate does not increase as much as lipoprotein lipase production does.<BR/><BR/>* The typical dieter goes from three meals a day to a toast and fruit breakfast, a salad lunch, and a half-sized dinner and is rewarded with rapid weight loss during the first few weeks.<BR/><BR/>* The human body is remarkable. Sensing that its survival is at stake, it begins to store more fat. In essence, the diet has “taught” the body to become more efficient at storing fat!<BR/><BR/>* There is a way to get around the body’s survival mode. Instead of drastically cutting calories all at once, gradually reduce calories, but focus mainly on changing the types of foods you consume.<BR/><BR/>* The emphasis should be placed on substituting foods that require the body to use more stored calories to digest them rather than reducing calories.<BR/><BR/>* In general, carbohydrates and proteins consume more energy in the digestive process than fats do and complex carbohydrates take more energy to digest than simple carbohydrates. Eat smart to lose those pounds for good!Joyce Rachel Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03437543149131181327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2137776469694004889.post-70557529422714897772008-08-07T19:29:00.000+08:002008-08-07T19:29:00.000+08:00Abit no logic leh..We noe that peninsular time is ...Abit no logic leh..<BR/><BR/>We noe that peninsular time is faster 1 hour..<BR/>So means on our watch is 7pm, but the actual time is 8pm worhs..<BR/><BR/>if lydat 6pm fang gong also cannot<BR/>nid 5pm fang gong lols..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2137776469694004889.post-11110613068609407252008-08-06T21:49:00.000+08:002008-08-06T21:49:00.000+08:00*shrugs*I guess it applies to heavy meals.I still ...*shrugs*<BR/><BR/>I guess it applies to heavy meals.<BR/><BR/>I still pop some light things into my mouth after 7pm.
