Weight Loss Cardio

Inducing fat metabolism through weight loss cardio


Lose 40 Lbs In 12 Wks

 

 Weight loss cardio is a term used to refer to cardiovascular exercises used in a dieting program with the express intention of inducing weight loss.Weight loss exercises are increasingly taking an equally leading role as weight loss diets in dieting.

GHF Weight Loss (read a detailed review here)  considers these two - diets and exercises, as the two sides of the same coin as far as permanent weight loss is concerned. Weight loss without exercises is considered the harder route.

It is a well know fact that to lose weight, you need to use more calories than you eat. Principally this energy gap is introduced by eating fewer calories. However studies have shown that the use of exercises can help both in increasing this energy gap as well as help you keep of the weight. 

As a result, those aware of this will tend to look for some form of exercises to include in their weight loss program

Among the popular exercise suggestion is what GHF Weight Loss (read a detailed review here) calls weight loss cardios. By the very nature of cardiovascular exercise they tend to demand the body to use up body fat as well as energy as opposed to glucose. This fact makes cardio very attractive to any one who is targeting to lose weight. 

Weight loss cardio result to fat lost by inducing your body into fat burning or fat metabolism. Body fat is the means by which your body reserves any excess energy you provide it. But when it comes to using this fat to fuel the body there is usually a problem. 

The process of turning fat into energy is a lengthy bio-chemical process which only occurs in the presence of oxygen. This basically translates to mean the fact that you are involved in physical exercise does not necessarily mean you are burning fat. 

For the body to use body fat as primary fuel you will need to provide enough oxygen as it is required. This then means any physical exertion that does not constitute constant breathing during execution will not use fat as energy. 

Secondly fat has twice the calories of carbohydrates (Glycogen) and protein. This means for every calories of glucose expended only half of fat will be used. This means it takes twice the effort to burn equal amount of body fat. 

Due to this factors you will find that body fat seems to resist being used up. Weight loss cardios are meant to position your body system to target for metabolism by increasing the availability of oxygen during exercising. 

This has led to a nation of what it commonly referred to as the “fat burning zone”. Fat burning zone is supposedly the pace of an exercise at which the primary source of energy is fat. Any faster you start using glucose, any slower you are not optimizing on fat metabolism. The zone exists when you are performing an exercise routine at a pace at which the oxygen you are breathing in is sufficient to allow for fat to provide the necessary energy. 

Some quarters have misgivings about targeting the “fat burning zone” because they consider that it may use up mainly fat but the total calories of fat used up is significantly lower. 

Here is an example; walking a 20 minute mile on flat ground for 30 minutes may burn 100 calories for a person weighing 150 pounds. Of these calories a comfortable 80% is fat. This means you burn about 80 calories of fat and 20% of carbohydrates. 

On the other hand, a vigorous running 8-minute a mile for 30 minutes will burn 446 calories. Of this only 30% approximately 135 calories are from fat. But you will notice that by running you are way off the “fat burning zone” and hence demand more energy from carbohydrates. Yet you have cranked out more fat than walking. 

GHF Weight Loss (read a detailed review here) is cautions not to dismiss the fat burning zone. This is because it can play an important role for those who were previously sedentary or de-conditioned. By working in the less strenuous “fat burning zone” for an extended period eg 60-90 minutes you will significantly increase the total number of calories burnt. 

The trick in keeping up with weight loss cardios is to simply start with activities you can sustain for a long period. As your weight loss fitness increases you can increase both intensity and duration. 

  In the next page, you get a detailed review of GHF's weight loss plan. They claim that you will literally be able to lose 40 pounds of body fat in 12 weeks or less. In this review I look at this claim in a systematic manner to answer some critical questions. You will discover the answer to the following questions. . .

The answers to these questions will enable you to determine for yourself if GHF can help you lose 40 lbs in 12 wks. Some more insight that I discovered and will bring to your attention include. . .
