Body Fat

Some of my perspectives on our human body fat, it's up to you to believe what I am writing here is true or ain't is up to you.

1 pound of fat = 3500 kcal

What to do:
- Eating 6 meals a day
Ensure that your blood glucose level is stabilize throughout the day, as spiked insulin, will increase fat storage and prevent fat from being burned-off.

- High intense resistant strength training
Strength training could rev up your metabolism to burn more fat, also energy will be used for repairing during recovery state.

- Interval Cardio
Long boring cardio exercises will only burn fat when you are doing it and last maybe for a while during post-workout. Plus, it strip your body muscle off.

Sprinter - muscular built; Marathoner - skinny built

The best way is to do it intervally with incorporating high intensity cardio and it only takes you only 20 minutes. For example, sprint - walk - sprint - walk
This is because in interval cardio program, we create an opportunity for our metabolism to be high all days.

- Food and Nutrition
This is the main part. Even if you are unconsciously or consciously know about it, it is the food you are eating that contributed to your body fat.
1. Sugar - Cut it down. Get more carbohydrate labelled as "whole".
- Beware of fruits as it contains a lot of hidden sugars. Choose your fruits wisely.
- Vegetables will be a great source for all the nutrients, antioxidants and this could
cover up the nutrition part from fruits.
2. Fats - Intake only 20 -30% of your total daily allowances. Choose the unsaturated fats and
limit the saturated one out
3. Protein - 1.5g per kilogram of your body weight. Choose the LEAN.
4. Carb - In moderation but must have in every meals.
5. Sacrifice - Cookies, cakes, doughnut, juices, soft drinks, smoothies, pudding, pastries and many
more. Snacking it on occasion is fine and except u make it yourself.
