Bad Fats Vs Good Fats

Reduce BAD FATS While Strategically Cutting Back On #carbohydrates 

Bad Fats will result in increased fat gains. 

The body will typically burn carbohydrates for fuel and use protein for repair. Therefore, it makes sense to cut back on bad fat while increasing GOOD FATS such as #omega3 and #omega6 FATTY ACIDS  will have a fat-burning effect, as they enhance #metabolicfunction (the metabolic rate is an indicator of how the body uses stored energy). Strategically cutting back on carbohydrates means eating specific carbs at certain times to achieve a fat-burning effect. COMPLEX CARBS will generally maximize the fat-burning effect because they stimulate the metabolism without causing the outpouring of insulin, which causes greater fat storage.

Brown rice, beans, oats, and potatoes, 

SIMPLE SUGARS - short burst carbs are to be avoided during a fat loss phase, as they can cause a large insulin spike and result in fat gains. 

FIBRE - high-wheat foods and certain fruits and vegetables, is an important one for fat loss because it increases feelings of fullness and pushes fat through the system to be eliminated.

Best times to eat complex carbohydrates for fat loss are at all meals before 6:00 p.m. Simple carbohydrates can be eaten directly after training, as the body will more readily store them as glycogen, not fat, at this stage. For general health, the recommended intake for fiber is 30 grams per day. For fat loss, an additional 10 grams is advised.

What is your waist circumference?

WHY IS MY WAIST SIZE IMPORTANT

Carrying too much fat around your middle (waist) can increase your risk of developing conditions such as:

• Heart disease

• Type  2 diabetes

• Cancer 

Not sure if you're overweight?

Use the body mass index #bmi calculator to work out if you're a healthy weight.

Measuring your waist is a good way to check you're not carrying too much fat around your stomach.

You can have a healthy BMI and still have excess tummy fat – meaning you're still at risk of developing these diseases.

public.jpeg

Measure your waist:

1. Find the bottom of your ribs and the top of your hips

2. Wrap a tape measure around your waist, midway between these points

3. Breathe out naturally before taking the measurement

Regardless of your height or BMI, you should try to lose weight if your waist is:

MEN- 94cm (37ins) +

WOMEN-80cm (31.5ins)+

VERY HIGH RISK and you should contact your GP. 

MEN - 102cm (40ins) +

WOMEN - 88cm (34ins) +

Most people who are overweight find their excess weight is down to eating more energy (calories) than they burn.

If you're trying to lose weight, it's a good idea to #eatless and #bemoreactive
