Existential Fitness Part 3

I apologize for not posting this sooner, but I have had to think and rewrite to make sure that I do not step out of line professionally. I am not a nutritionist, and I am very careful not to present myself as such, but diet is an integral part of fitness and health and I cannot leave it out of the conversation just because I am not a certified nutritionist. So while I am not going to make specific dietary recommendations, I am going to explain what I understand about nutrition and its effects on health, and allow you, the reader to make your own conclusions. And on that note…

OK, by now I hope you have your body fat percentage because we need it to help figure out what you are going to be eating. But I am getting a little ahead of myself here.

Losing weight is really pretty simple in that it just requires you to take in fewer calories than you burn. Really, it is true. It is the law, specifically the first law of thermodynamics which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. The calories (energy) that you take in must either be used (expended) or stored, and the body’s mechanism for storing that unused energy is fat. So clearly, if you take in more calories than you expend (“burn”) than your fat percentage will increase, but if you burn more than you consume, well the fat will have to be used to meet that energy requirement. OK, not exactly that simple, because the body is a magnificently complicated machine which has some rules that do not fit the “fuel burning” analogy as much as many people think. The laws of physics still apply, however, so I can guarantee that if you take in less calories than you burn, you will lose weight. Read more... Link
