Fat Loss - 1st Step

Fat Loss 1st Step

 

Anyone interest in fat loss must be concerned with the leading cause of fat gain in today's society.  That is high levels of insulin which by the way causes more damage to the body than excess fat storage.  It must be noted that when insulin levels are high your body stops using it's stored fat for energy thus causing this excess fat to continue to accumulate giving us that added layer of fat.  This ability to store fat is what saves us during times of famine, but that is another story.

 

The first step to losing excess fat is to control insulin levels, keeping them more constant thus allowing your body to continue using stored fat for energy.  The best way to accomplish this is to reduce the amont of sugar injested.  This is a tricky task as sugar is EVERYWHERE in our modern food supply, even in unsuspecting foods.

 

Start your fat loss today by learning how much sugar you injest each day.  The most obvious way is to read your food lables.  You can also track sugar on the web (www.thecaloriecounter.com) or an app on your phone that will tell sugar grams.  Gradually reduce your sugar consumption to 25 grams or less per day for women, and 35 grams or less per day for men.
