Why do some people seem to burn fat better that others?

Article written by Free health remedies

weight-lossEverybody seems to have that one friend that can eat anything they want without putting on 1 oz of extra weight.

This observation often leads to the question: “Why do some people seem to burn fat better that others?”

Unfortunately, many women believe that some people are simply born with a high metabolism that allows them to burn fat effortlessly …
…and if you are not born with a high fat burners metabolism, then you are destined to count calories and be stuck with the body of your mother and grandmother.

Sound familiar?

This is one of the BIGGEST myths about fat burning! The reality is that anyone can train her body to burn fat naturally.

And it does not involve:

  • Fat burning supplements (and yes some pills do encourage your body to burn fat instead of sugar) 
  • Spending hours of each day lifting weights (and yes more muscle does means higher metabolism) 
  • Pushing yourself to the max every time you work out (and yes you do burn more calories per hour if you workout at a higher intensity)

Even thought the above statements contain some truth, the above conventional thinking about fat burning is one of the biggest hoaxes today in the health and fitness industry today.

I call it a hoax because it is an obsession with:

  • Increased muscle mass
  • Pills
  • High intensity workouts

all of which prevent you from getting to what it really means to be a fat burner.

Even though each of the above statements is true, none of the actions will effectively and efficiently train your body to burn fat as the primary source of energy.

Watch Out for Weight-Loss Scams

Weight-Loss ScamsWeight loss myths are the easiest scam to fall into. Who isn’t Looking for a quick and easy way to lose weight?

You’re not alone and the marketers lying in wait to feed you product after program after pill!

An estimated 50 million Americans will go on diets this year. And while some will succeed in taking the weight off, very few–perhaps 5 percent–will manage to keep all of it off in the long run.

One reason for the low success rate is that many people look for quick and easy solutions to their weight problems.

They find it hard to believe in this age of scientific innovations and medical miracles that an effortless weight-loss method doesn’t exist.

So they succumb to quick-fix claims like:

 

“Eat All You Want and Still Lose Weight!”

“Melt Fat Away While You Sleep!”

Some natural products like  hoodia and green tea can help but not one thing alone is going to create the miracle.

And they invest their hopes (and their money) in all manner of pills, potions, gadgets, and programs that hold the promise of a slimmer, happier future.

The weight-loss business is a booming industry. Americans spend an estimated $30 billion a year on all types of diet programs and products, including diet foods and drinks.

Trying to sort out all of the competing claims–often misleading, unproven, or just plain false–can be confusing and costly.
