Flip
Your Fat-Burning Switch!
By Greg
Landry (Sincere thanks to Greg for letting me reprint this
article here!)
I'd like you to imagine
that there's a switch on your forehead. Every time you flip
that switch, it does three things:
1. It elevates several of
your body's hormones that tell your body to burn more fat.
2. It decreases hormones
that tell your body to store fat.
3. It gives your metabolism
(basal metabolic rate) a boost.
Would you be flipping that
switch pretty frequently? You bet you would! You would
probably wear it out.
Now, what if it required a
little effort on your part to flip it? Are you game? Would
you be willing to exercise regularly to get that switch
flipped, because that's exactly what exercise will do for
you. Every time you exercise, the switch gets flipped.
For example, insulin is a
hot topic right now because it's a "fat storage"
hormone. Exercise decreases an elevated insulin level
allowing fat to be removed from "storage" and
burned as fuel.
Epinephrine and growth
hormone are "fat mobilization" hormones. Their
blood levels are increased with exercise and they cause fat
to be removed from "storage" and burned as fuel.
Your basal metabolic rate
is elevated a little every time you exercise. the more you
flip the switch, the more it's elevated.
Here's the bottom line
folks - when you're sedentary, your body loves to hold on to
fat. It likes to "store" as much as it can.
Conversely, when you
exercise, your body screams for fat to be dumped. It does
everything it can to get rid of fat. The more you exercise,
the more it screams. Make it scream!
