Losing Weight, Losing Fat
As we know too much fat besides being unattractive, is not healthy and causes a lot of problems. Being too fat causes clogged arteries, heart disease and high risk for heart attacks and diabetes. It is so important for us to regulate our cortisol levels by controlling our behavior pattern towards food, and get into a healthy lifestyle as part of our daily routine.
Our weight is determined by the rate which we store energy from the food that we eat, and the rate at which we use that energy. Our body breaks down fat as we lose weight, but we cannot reduce the number of fat cells we have. We will always have the same number or fat cells we were born with. As we lose weight each fat cell simply gets smaller and as we gain weight our fat cells expand.
Fat cells are our body’s emergency storage, they store fuel for us just in case we need it later on to survive. If we didn’t have fat cells, we wouldn’t have survived the famines of the past. During the holocaust the people who survived were the ones who had a larger fat store. Fat cells are a sophisticated survival mechanism that is unfortunately getting all the wrong signals today. Our body was not designed for the constant intake of food, especially the processed junk food that contains preservatives and high levels of sugar.
