Exercise Tips to Improve Leptin & Fat Burning. Aerobics is an excellent fat burning exercise, especially when you are fit enough to do a one hour aerobic session. Of course strength training, stretching, relaxing, walking, and general physical activity are equally important. Aerobic exercise is proven to help curb your appetite. It has been shown to increase BDNF (brain- derived neurotrophic factor) levels, thus improving brain rejuvenation and suppressing appetitie. Plus, aerobic exercise increases the amount of active leptin receptors in your body, helping the key weight loss hormone work better. You also move your lymph system significantly while you exercise, which helps your body process toxic sludge. Of course, toxins also come out in your sweat. Thus, not only does aerobic exercise burn calories, it also helps your leptin and detox systems in multiple ways. As you run, and as leptin is working better in your body, leptin can do a rather miraculous thing. It can turn on a system in your muscles that disposes of calories as heat. This is done by activating something called an uncoupling protein in your muscles. Now, instead of making energy and heat, your muscles can just make heat out of calories, literally throwing the calories away. This is a fantastic fat burning method. You can boost this uncoupling protein response by taking coenzyme Q1. Here are other helpful nutrients supportive of aerobic exercise.*. I’ve seen the elite implementation of all three in working with professional athletes. In this post, we’ll explore what I refer to as the “slow- carb diet”. In the last six weeks, I have cut from about 1. This is the only diet besides the rather extreme Cyclical Ketogenic Diet (CKD) that has produced veins across my abdomen, which is the last place I lose fat (damn you, Scandinavian genetics). Here are the four simple rules I followed. The following foods are thus prohibited, except for within 1. If you avoid eating anything white, you’ll be safe. Rule #2: Eat the same few meals over and over again. The most successful dieters, regardless of whether their goal is muscle gain or fat loss, eat the same few meals over and over again. Mix and match, constructing each meal with one from each of the three following groups: Proteins: Egg whites with one whole egg for flavor. Chicken breast or thigh. Grass- fed organic beef. Pork. Legumes: Lentils. Black beans. Pinto beans. NEW from the author of Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle: The Burn the Fat Online Body Transformation System. The true struggle in the world of weight loss is keeping weight off once you. Vegetables: Spinach. Asparagus. Peas. Mixed vegetables. Losing belly fat is no easy task if you. Millions of people every year fail at losing belly fat and blame themselves, their programs, and. Eat as much as you like of the above food items. Just remember: keep it simple. Pick three or four meals and repeat them. Almost all restaurants can give you a salad or vegetables in place of french fries or potatoes. Surprisingly, I have found Mexican food, swapping out rice for vegetables, to be one of the cuisines most conducive to the “slow carb” diet. Most people who go on “low” carbohydrate diets complain of low energy and quit, not because such diets can’t work, but because they consume insufficient calories. A 1/2 cup of rice is 3. Vegetables are not calorically dense, so it is critical that you add legumes for caloric load. Some athletes eat 6- 8x per day to break up caloric load and avoid fat gain. I think this is ridiculously inconvenient. I eat 4x per day: 1. Discovery Channel before bed. Here are some of my meals that recur again and again: Scrambled Eggology pourable egg whites with one whole egg, black beans, and microwaved mixed vegetables.
Grass- fed organic beef, pinto beans, mixed vegetables, and extra guacamole (Mexican restaurant)Grass- fed organic beef (from Trader Joe’s), lentils, and mixed vegetables. Rule #3: Don’t drink calories. Drink massive quantities of water and as much unsweetened iced tea, tea, diet sodas, coffee (without white cream), or other no- calorie/low- calorie beverages as you like. Do not drink milk, normal soft drinks, or fruit juice. I’m a wine fanatic and have at least one glass of wine each evening, which I believe actually aids sports recovery and fat- loss. Recent research into resveratrol supports this. Rule #4: Take one day off per week. I recommend Saturdays as your “Dieters Gone Wild” day. I am allowed to eat whatever I want on Saturdays, and I go out of my way to eat ice cream, Snickers, Take 5, and all of my other vices in excess. I make myself a little sick and don’t want to look at any of it for the rest of the week. Paradoxically, dramatically spiking caloric intake in this way once per week increases fat loss by ensuring that your metabolic rate (thyroid function, etc.) doesn’t downregulate from extended caloric restriction. That’s right: eating pure crap can help you lose fat. Welcome to Utopia.###If you enjoyed this post, check out my latest book, The 4- Hour Body, #1 New York Times and #1 Amazon bestseller.
