Fitness: Your choice of food is the real enemy > CONTINUED FROM PG.15

It’s very easy to diet your way up to an obese range because when you suppress your metabolism so low by continually dieting, when you do end up eating that food just gets stored as fat. When you under-eat it causes stress in the body. Stress hormones such as cortisol are released into your system to help cope with the stress. Cortisol is a fat-burning inhibitor. In other words, if there are high levels of cortisol in your system your metabolism will not burn fat, it will store it. After many years of continual cortisol release, fat stores will settle in the abdominal region, known as visceral fat or belly fat.

This can be very frustrating if you don’t understand what is happening: you think you are doing all the right things by eating whole grains and low-fat dairy products, and cutting back the sugar. You even increase your exercise. But that darn scale won’t budge. So how do you break the cycle and rev up your metabolism to lose weight? Eat! Get over your fear of food. Food is not the enemy. Your choices are the enemy. It’s critical to educate yourself, take responsibility and make good choices. Change your lifestyle and choose whole foods, eating every three or four hours and your body will get the message that it is not starving and

will begin to release the weight. It is also important to get active. Exercise is an essential component to weight-loss, overall health and well-being. In summary, as long as you keep eating (and eat the correct, healthy foods – lean proteins, veggies, whole carbs, fruits low in natural sugar) and don’t go beyond three or four hours between your meals or your snacks, your metabolism will fire up and allow the weight to drop off of you. Your body will move out of starvation mode because you are eating often and won’t be hanging onto fat reserves in fear of another famine (restrictive diet) right around the corner.
