Why do I gain weight so easily? Can I change my body chemistry so it won't make fat out of the foods I eat? How can I avoid getting fat all over again? These are questions asked by millions of dieters everywhere. Statistics show that 90% of dieters regain the weight they lost within a year. To address these issues, you must understand what happen to the calories in foods we consume.
The body converts calories to energy which is used as fuel for all bodily functions. The metabolic process of converting food into energy is only about 80% efficient, the body must still deal with the excess calories represented by the 20% inefficiency. There are only two avenues open for the disposal of excess calories. The body can either store the extra calories in the white fat cell as body fat or burn in the good fat cells known as Brown Adipose Tissue (B.A.T).
Specific nutrients and herbs are thermogenic, this means that they can activate your own B.A.T. to help disope of excess calories. Cleansing herbs can flush out toxins from cells to encourage weight loss. The fat-binding action of certain indigestible fibres can also help you stay in shape. These nutritionally-sound natural weight-reducing aids together with a healthy diet and exercise can keep the body functioning and looking its best.
