You Can Lose Inches Fast

November 6th, 2007

If you are aiming to lose 10 pounds, you can easily do it in about two weeks. It all comes down to calories. No matter how you cut it, it’s too many calories that put on the weight. Don’t eat late, and am sure you have heard the metaphor of the body being a machine, food being fuel, fat being stored fuel, etc.. Well this late night hunger is actually an indication that your body has used all of its fast fuel. The mistake that most people make is that they feed the body more fuel, fuel that if not used before you hit the sheets, will be turned into stored fuel or fat while you sleep. If you ignore the hunger the body will start to break down fat cells and use them for fuel, subtracting fat instead of multiplying it.

The human body is an accommodating creation, it will expand contract, get stronger, get more flexible, to fit our daily use. The inner organs follow the same pattern. Your stomach will expand or contract to fit its contents. Its overall capacity is directly related to how much gets put into it. Overeating over time will cause your stomach to expand, requiring more and more food to indicate it is full. Unfortunately, in most cases the rest of the body doesn’t need the extra food, so it will store it as fat.
