What Does Excess Fat
Do To Your Body?
Excess Fat crowds (squeezes) your organs so they can't function properly.
Excess Fat clogs your blood vessels so it's more difficult for your blood to flow in your body and deliver nutrients or eliminate wastes.
Excess Fat bogs you down so your not as active as you can be.
Excess Fat makes it difficult for you to be flexible and do simple things like tie your shoes or play with your kids on the floor.
Excess Fat makes you unattractive to many of the opposite sex so it cuts down your choices for a good spouse.
Excess Fat makes you think your poor health is your fault.
It's Not Totally Your Fault!
How Did You Get Fat?
Most People Get Fat Slowly, Over A Long Period Of Years.
Let’s say a healthy young lady graduates high school at only 115 lbs.. She starts her career, gets married and settles down. She burns 10 calories less than she consumes. Ten calories is not a great amount. One cookie is 50 calories and 2 chocolate covered peanuts are 17 calories. But 10 calories a day is 3650 calories a year and that’s one pound of fat. That's not a whole bunch, but over 10 years it’s 10 lbs.
For her first high school ten year reunion this young lady weighs 125 pounds. Her friends say, "She’s filling out. That’s normal. She’s had 3 children".
On her second high school ten year reunion she weighs 135 pounds. She’s plump. She doesn’t like how she looks. We say, “It’s nature taking its course.”
At her 30 year reunion she’s fat and has flab. She weighs 145 pounds. Her clothes look bad on her and she’s a candidate for a heart attack, stroke, diabetes and a long list of other chronic illnesses.
What Do We Say Now?
Metabolism and
Chronic illnesses.
Whether your excess fat began at childhood or adulthood,
You Can Do Something About It ... Starting Right Now.
Metabolism is the measure of how fast your body burns calories. This is primarily determined by your musculature. One pound of muscle burns 37 calories per day whereas one pound of fat only burns 2 calories per day.
Compare two persons of the same height and weight where one is fit and the other is obese and you will find huge differences. The fit person is much thinner. The fit person can move faster and is stronger and they can consume more food without gaining weight. The fit person is much healthier, and is less prone to accidents and illness.
The Standard American Diet (SAD)...Overeating and inactivity are responsible for most metabolic disorders also known as chronic illnesses. Some of these chronic illnesses are Obesity, Diabetes 2, Heart attack, Stroke, Kidney failure, Rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer’s etc..
These will quickly surrender to a natural diet and lifestyle. Do you know which diet and type of exercise are best for you? This is not an easy question to answer because there are many possible solutions.
Here at Carnivore Apprentice Program we use 10 different strategies to help you lose weight and flab and keep it off. This is quick, effective and sustainable. It is usual for overweight person to lose 5 to 10 lbs. per month. You determine your rate of success.
How To Evaluate
Your Fat Content
The medical industry has adopted the BMI (Body Mass Index) as the main method of determining whether a person is sufficiently fat to warrant concern. BMI however is a poor measure because it neither differentiates between men and women, nor does it differentiate between muscle mass and fat content. This dilemma was originally solved with a hip to waist ratio but today this ratio has fallen out of use. BMI alone is a very rough estimate of body fat content.
The most accurate way to measure fat content is by water displacement. This is messy, time consuming and expensive, and is done in few facilities.
Caliper measurements are popular but not trustworthy. Even in the hands of trained experts the range of values can vary so much as to be useless. Electronic percent fat devices have also not proven to be trustworthy.
United States Department of Defense to the rescue. They have a series of charts that incorporate fat, muscle distribution and gender, and gives uniform results regardless who is doing the measuring. Although it can be off by as much as 3%, it is still the most reliable measure of body fat that is convenient, inexpensive and widely used.
Here’s The Science
in Plain English.
Your body needs fuel in order to function. It can receive that energy from either carbs (carbohydrates) or fat. Carbs are more easily converted to energy therefore if you consume lots of carbohydrates your body will use it for energy first ... and store the fat. The excess fat you have is not because you ate too many fatty foods but because you ate too many carbs.
Let me paraphrase two leading authorities.
Diabetes Today says carbs are not essential for body functions.
The American Diabetic Association says that low carb diets are valid therapy for type 2 diabetes.
Low carb diets are known as metabolic diets, Keto diets, elimination diets, ketogenic therapeutic diets and such. But most doctors don’t offer these diets as treatment because these diets are not in their guidelines.
Chances are you have tried some of these diets on your own and have had poor results. Let me explain. I’ve found 10 different strategies that work when applied at the right time. But you didn’t know when to change strategies and so you wrongly exhausted one strategy when you should have used another.
