Burning That Extra Weight

November 17th, 2008 by Christian Goodman

You may not think of it often, but your body is much like a furnace. You give it fuel, which it burns to provide heat and energy. Ideally, your body burns the same amount of fuel you give it and your body weight remains relatively constant.

Often though, we provide our bodies with too much fuel or even worse fuel that cannot be burned properly. The result is stored fat.

Imagine trying to feed a fire with stones. The fire can’t use the stones as fuel, so they just sit there. The same thing happens when you fill your body with food that’s over processed and filled with chemicals and preservatives.

Much of the food we eat today is useless to the body as fuel because the body doesn’t even recognize it as food. The body breaks down what we give it, but doesn’t find the components it needs, like vitamins and minerals, or the right kind of fats, complex carbohydrates, and lean proteins.

When the body fails to find the nutrients it needs to survive, it does the only thing it knows to do. So it triggers the hunger signals in an attempt to get what it needs. You eat more because you feel hungry again. And this vicious cycle repeats itself over and over again.

Replacing over processed food with items the body recognizes as fuel can make a big difference. Whole grains and vegetables are utilized as fuel, so fat storage becomes unnecessary.

Another important factor in the body furnace is that it requires three components in order to burn. It needs something to burn, heat to burn it and oxygen.

Weight loss plans normally only involve food (burning material) and exercise (heat.) Ample oxygen is rarely considered a key element in diet programs.

If you don’t think oxygen is essential for fat loss, consider what happens when you cover a candle. If you have a candle in a glass jar, for instance, and you put the lid on it, within seconds the flame flickers and dies. It needs oxygen to continue burning.

Burning fat just cannot happen effectively if we are not breathing in an adequate amount of oxygen. Our bodies require this crucial element.

Supplying the body with the proper oxygen supply is part of my Weight Loss Breeze Program. Addressing all three components can make the difference you have been looking for in losing weight.

A few minutes of easy exercises are geared specifically toward the missing element in most programs. Include the right fuel and your body will be rewarded.
