Learn the Facts about Shedding Fat in Record Time

Most people think that the longer they work out, the more weight they will lose. They walk or bike for 45 to 60 minutes, mile after sweaty mile, assuming that they are melting off unwanted fat with every step. 

In fact, these dedicated but misinformed exercisers are undermining their own efforts!

So, endless hours walking on your treadmill for an extended period of time not only makes you tired, hungry, and grouchy, it actually makes it much, much more difficult to lose body fat.

A study published in the April 2000 issue of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise looked at what happens to people who try to do long duration low intensity aerobic in combination with caloric restriction as part of a weight loss program. 

Guess what happens when you get on the treadmill and at the same go on a low calorie diet? 

BAD NEWS!!

Your body takes your next meal and stores as much of it as it possibly can as fat. 

So it is important to understand that endurance exercise is not the best way to lose body fat. Long-term exercise calls on the body to store more fat!

One of the primary reasons people choose the wrong form of exercise is that they assume that their body changes during an exercise session. 

It never does. 

All the important changes begin AFTER you stop working out. They are consequences of your body adapting to prepare for the next time you ask your body to perform that same activity.

Your body is always adapting to the demands put on it. 

Would you believe that endurance (long duration aerobic exercise) exercise actually encourages fat production?

Here are some important medical references:

Researchers at Colorado State University measured how long our bodies continue to burn fat after brief periods of exercise. Study participants exercised for 20 minutes in sets of two-minute intervals of exercise, and one-minute rest periods. 

The researchers found that participants still burned fat 16 hours after the interval exercising! 

At rest, their fat oxidation was up by 62 percent, and their resting metabolic rate rose 4 percent.

In other words, interval exercise continues to trigger fat burning long after the session is over.

Another study conducted at Laval University in Quebec compared long, moderate-intensity, aerobic exercise with high-intensity short interval exercise (Grizzly Bear Intervals). 

The first group performed long-duration aerobics by cycling for 45 minutes without stopping, and the second group performed short-interval aerobics by cycling in numerous short bouts (lasting from 15 to 90 seconds), with rests between intervals. 

The Results?

The long-duration group burned twice as many calories as the interval group, but the short-interval group LOST MORE FAT.

In fact, for every calorie burned, the interval group LOST NINE TIMES MORE FAT.

Comments from Dr. Grisanti:

Losing weight (fat) is not that difficult if you know the facts. I am appalled at the garbage people are exposed to. Every time you turn the television on or read a magazine, you see another hyped ad hoping to grab your hard earned money. I am constantly asked by my patients what I think about this or that weight loss product and I have to admit, most are junk and a big waste of money. You will have to look real hard to find anything that comes close to what I have put together for you. Learn what it really takes to lose fat and transform your body.
