This rule states that fat loss is essentially effected by the manipulation of calorie intake and the key to success at it is to understand how to manipulate the calories to nurn fat.
This is because the human body is subject to conditioning, to programming. The food we eat, the quantity we eat, and the frequency with which we eat establishes a kind of normal diet that the body gets used to.
Usually this is not a negative factor if one eats what one should be eating. However, the problem arises when we eat the wrong types of foods. Eating such wrong foods substantially impedes fat loss success.
To prevent this negative eventuality, one needs to manipulate the kind of foods we eat, in order to consume the appropriate quantity of the appropriate nutrients. All truly accomplished trainers concur that the human body must constantly receive new stimuli, such as, different foods and workouts, to see continual results.
This is the basic concept that drives the manipulating calories rules. The body must not only receive what it requires, but it must receive different foods at the correct time in order to prevent it from getting accustomed to a fixed dietary routine.
This rule, which is rule #1, completely revolutionizes the way a dieter thinks about food and eating. Rather than perceiving food as an enemy, it encourages dieters to consider it as a fuel to produce different results. Since a dieter controls the types of food eaten, the rule requires the dieter to manipulate diet to work for him rather than against him.
Plain Is Better
According to rule # 5, in order to optimize your fat loss process, you ought to strive to eat meals without condiments, and as plain as possible.
At first glance this rule seems a rather pedestrian one, but when one thinks about it, the sense of the rule begins to appear clearly. This is because the add-ons such as toppings, sauces and syrups are primarily carbohydrate in content, which is easily and quickly converted to excess storage fat or fat tissue.
The concept behind the rule is that, since the goal is to eliminate excess body fat, every possible avenue that helps the process needs to be explored. Curtailing intake of excess carbohydrates that convert to fat is one of them.
The rule, however, suggests that it is not essential to completely avoid condiments since this kills the savor of food, but to use as little of it as possible.
Just like the above given rules one and five, the remaining eight dieting rules completely change the way we look at food, fat loss and dieting. They sift through the confusion, misinformation and hype about fat loss and bring the focus back to the effective basics, ensuring safe and effective fat loss.
