“calorie” = the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one cubic centimeter (a.k.a. one milliliter) of water by one degree Celsius.
“kilocalorie” or “kcal” = 1000 calories, or the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one liter of water by one degree Celsius.
“Food calorie” or “Calorie” = kilocalorie.
So if you eat a double cheeseburger (750 Calories), you have consumed enough heat energy to raise the temperature of a liter of water by 750 degrees Celsius.
Each kilogram of lean body mass consumes about 20 - 22 kcal per day (basal metabolic rate). In other words, if you could somehow gain ten pounds of muscle, you could consume another 100 calories of potato chips while sitting around watching television each day and not get fat…ter.
Body fat, excess digested food stored but the body as a survival defense against an energy shortage. The body functions on the principle of survival. It has many built in safety defenses; such as, fight or flight, reflexes, shivering, energy and fluid storage to mention a few.
The storage of body fat is a result of having consumed excess calories. The excess storage of body fat is a result of bad eating habits.
The longer food stays in the bodies digestive system the more fat the body can store. High fiber diets move foods through the body at a faster rate than low fiber diets. This makes it more difficult to store fats.
The body does not respond well to reduction diets. Again the bodies survival traits kick in. When the calorie intake is reduced drastically the bodies metabolism slows to accommodate the reduction.
Once calorie intake is returned to normal the body does not return to it normal metabolism rate for some time. Allowing the weight to come back on twices as fast as it left.
The body is designed to convert calories to energy and does so in a certain order. Simple carbs (sugar, fruit, white starch), complex carbs (whole grains, veggies), proteins (meats), fats (dairy, veggie oils). The body uses the easiest form of energy first, sugar and the hardest last, fat.
The question is, how do we get to the fat if it’s the hardest to get rid of. A discovery at the University of Alberta can help us understand how this can be done. During a study on how cold effects the body some interesting things were discovered.
It was found that the body shivers when it is cold in order to trick the body into thinking it is in an aerobic state. There is an natural inhibitor in the body that prevents the body from burning body fat.
When the body go into an aerobic state the body releases an enzyme that neutralizes the inhibitor and allows body fat to be consumed. There may other ways that the body is trick into thinking it’s gone aerobic. Weight lifting is a real possibility.
The body however needs energy to get to the body fat. This is where carbs come in. They are the safest form of energy for the burning of body fat.
With out carbs the body will turn to the next source of energy, protein. The problem is the protein it burns is the protein you have already turned into lean muscle mass. So it is important to keep carbs in the body when working out. This can prevent to loss of lean muscle mass.

Huh? we’re in an aerobic state while reading this. the above makes little sense
We’re capable of burning fat any time we’re in an aerobic state, hence the importance of controlling the hormone insulin to help with glucagon’s job of releasing stored fat.

The inhibitor that prevents the continuous burning of body fat was discovered during a study on the effects of cold temperatures on the human body. When the body shivers because it’s cold an enzyme is released that neutralizes the inhibitor.
The inhibitor was actually synthesized and is the patented ingredient in an energy bar. Aerobic activity will release the same enzyme that was discovered to neutralize the inhibitor.
I love the “you cant follow a low carb diet long-term” it just goes to show how undedicated people really are to lose weight, they just want that quick fix.
I’m still working on a way to put proper nutrition, exercise, and dedication into pill form and sell it to all of the fat people and make billions.

People say they want to look toned and understand that looking at the scale weight isn’t the best method of tracking, however to them it’s the most concrete.
Never mind that the scale doesn’t measure fat or muscle, and that water retention and shit in your intestines affect the number shown, but seeing a lower number week after week is just the kind of black and white assurance average people want.

I know I check the scale BECAUSE I know that I have a LOT of extra fat to lose, and thats what I’m trying to lose. It is the only solid indicator to my own eyes that what I’m doing is working. With consistent workouts and eating, it doesn’t fluctuate strongly, but it does give me an idea of where I’m going.
(I’ve consistently dropped weight down 18 lbs and have recently hit a plateau)

How do you know you’ve hit a plateau? Because THE SCALE says so?
Nah, I’m just messin with you because you have dorky glasses.
