Is
Your Excess Fat Caused By Not
Eating Enough?
So
that's kind of a
strange headline.
I know if I would have heard it a
few years back I would have been highly skeptical. I mean if
I'm trying to lose weight the last thing that seems logical is to eat
more!
But there in lies the secret...
You
see, the plain truth is that if you're overweight you simply have
excess FAT STORAGE.
Did everyone catch that?
You
are simply storing too much fat. Of course... DUH! Now
before you run away from this article let's examine the reason.
I mean, why would your body store excess fat?
And
to understand that all we need to do is look at examples from the real
world.
I live in the Midwest and when there is a
pending "BIG" snow storm on the way everyone scurries out to the store
to stock up.
Why?
Quite
simply,
because nobody knows when they will be able to go to the store again to
get more food. They want to have enough food on hand to last
them
a long time.
Your body may be storing fat
because it does not know when it's going to eat again, and it wants to
have food on hand. In
other words, you are experiencing a famine.
And
what's the number one cause of famine?
Yes, it may
be that you simply are not eating enough.
But
more
often than not, I find that fat storage is caused by a lack of proper
nutrition.
In other words, your body may be nutrient
deprived and it makes no difference if you are eating enough calories.
In fact, you can be eating way more than enough calories, but
if the food you are consuming has low nutritional content you will be
nutrient deprived.
So what to do?
Well,
the primary thing that you should do if you are overweight and want to
lose it is to examine your diet... NOT with the intent of cutting
calories (The amount of food that you eat), but with the intent of
eliminating the non-nutritious food choices and adding more nutrient
dense foods to your diet.
This simple technique just
may work wonders for your weight loss.
