You may not think of it often, but your body is much like a furnace. You give it fuel, which it burns to provide heat and energy. Ideally, your body burns the same amount of fuel you give it and your body weight remains relatively constant.
Unfortunately, most of us give our body far more fuel than it’s able to burn. The rest, of course, gets stored as fat. The problem is actually twofold – not only do we give our bodies more fuel than it needs, we often give it fuel it doesn’t even recognize as fuel.
Imagine trying to feed a fire with stones. The fire can’t use the stones as fuel, so they just sit there. The same thing happens when you fill your body with food that’s over processed and filled with chemicals and preservatives.
Much of the food we eat today is useless to the body as fuel because the body doesn’t even recognize it as food. The body breaks down what we give it, but doesn’t find the components it needs, like vitamins and minerals, or the right kind of fats, complex carbohydrates, and lean proteins.
When the body fails to find the nutrients it needs to survive, it does the only thing it knows to do. So it triggers the hunger signals in an attempt to get what it needs. You eat more because you feel hungry again. And this vicious cycle repeats itself over and over again.
The end result is often a fat, but pitifully undernourished body. The solution to this part of the problem is to eat more real food. Not fast food, not boxed, canned, or frozen food that has had all the nutrients processed out of it. Real food like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
In addition to not providing the proper nutrients to the body, there’s another crucial component that gets overlooked entirely too often. In order for anything to burn, three things are necessary, material to burn, heat to burn it with, and oxygen.
Most traditional diet programs deal with the material (the food) or increasing the heat (your body temperature) through exercise. Very few if any address the issue of not providing enough oxygen.
If you don’t think oxygen is essential for fat loss, consider what happens when you cover a candle. If you have a candle in a glass jar, for instance, and you put the lid on it, within seconds the flame flickers and dies. It needs oxygen to continue burning.
Your body is the same as that candle flame, and needs oxygen in order to burn off fat. With our predominantly sedentary lifestyle, we’ve all become a society of ‘shallow breathers’. Every cell in our body needs oxygen to survive and in order to burn fat, we need even more oxygen than most of us are taking in.
There’s one weight loss program that addresses the issue of providing the body the oxygen it needs to efficiently burn off fat. It’s found right here in my Weight Loss Breeze program and it could be the easiest weight you’ve ever taken off.
It consists of a few simple exercises that take only minutes a day to perform and the results are astonishing. Combine that with giving your body real food with sufficient nutrients and there’s no reason you can’t have the slim, healthy body you’ve been striving for.
