Weight Loss Tips: How “Thermodynamics” Help You Lose Weight Fast

One factor involved in losing that jelly belly is something called metabolism. Your metabolism is how many calories your body burns at rest and/or at play. This process is determined by a multitude of factors, including hormone levels, muscle mass, and workload.

The “Law of Thermodynamics” states that if you burn more calories than you consume, you will lose weight. When you apply this to human beings, it works a little differently. This is due to the starvation response we talked about earlier, which is caused by an immediate lack of food that sends your hormones into a frenzy.

This is why there are overweight people who eat 1,000 calories a day and are not losing weight. The way to make the Law of Thermodynamics work for you is through multiple meals, proper nutrition, and the use of metabolically stimulating exercises, such as lifting weights for large muscle groups (back and legs).

CARBS, PROTEINS AND FATS, OH MY!

These are the three basic components of your body. I’m not going to go into too much detail about them because it’s not important for our purposes. However, you MUST have quality fonts! Think of your body as a house. Do you want to build your house with bricks or straw? In other words, eat healthy sources of carbohydrates, protein, and fat.

Don’t forget a good multivitamin. These things represent the raw materials needed to fuel your body and prime that fat-burning pump! A list of foods will be provided at the end of this book. I urge you to print it out and stick it on your refrigerator.

CARBOHYDRATES: Carbohydrates are simple and complex sugars that the body uses for energy. Carbohydrates retain water in the tissues. Aha moment: When you eat a lot of carbs, you not only gain weight from the carbs being stored as fat, but also from the water they hold in your tissues. You end up looking puffy and puffy. Sounds nice, doesn’t it?

Good carbohydrates: The more natural, the better. Fruits (limited amount due to high sugar content), vegetables (as much as you like), potatoes, and whole grains like oatmeal are great carbohydrates to eat.

Bad carbs: White flour, enriched products, pasta, anything with refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup. (More on this later).
