SCIENCE SAYS: Use Your Brain to Get Buff
M edical studies have shown that visualizing yourself in the shape you want to be in can help you attain a trim, toned physique. The brain thinks very much in pictures. If you can call up a picture in your mind, you have a powerful way of making it happen. So it’s important to get the image of your perfect body in your mind so you can create it.
Start imagining what your life will be like as a thin, healthy person. You’ll be able to play, be active, really live, and enjoy living for your family. You’ll be able to shop at normal stores, not own plus-sized clothes, and forget worrying about fitting into airplane seats. You’ll no longer be a target of jokes or have people judge you. And you won’t have to fear a future of diabetes, heart attack, stroke or other weight-related health issues. All of these images give your mind realistic goals to work toward.
Let’s talk about scales for a moment. Your bathroom scale can be a top tool for losing weight. I know, some people say throw it out. But those people are naturally thin or possibly teach aerobics classes. They don’t need a scale.
If you skirt the scale, your weight might start going up, and you won’t know it. Then, when the nurse forces you at pen point to ascend the scale at your next doctor’s appointment and 302 pops up, you might go into shock.
Tracking your weight is one of the most important things you can do to prevent that from happening. It’s also a habit that has helped people in the National Weight Control Registry—a group of several thousand “successful losers”—hold their weight steady. Registry participants have lost at least 30 pounds and kept it off for at least a year.
Yes, other things can tell you a lot about your weight: the way your clothes fit, how winded you feel going up a flight of stairs or how you look in the mirror. But weigh yourself too, every several days, or at least once a week, and definitely after each 17 day Cycle.
Just resist weighing yourself dozens of times a day in hopes of a better outcome.
So take that candy jar off your desk. It may make you less popular with your co-workers, but you’re on your way to a lighter life. And that’s exciting.
LEAN 17 : Facts about Fat
1. The average adult has 40 billion fat cells.
2. Fat is also one of the most abundant types of tissue in the body.
3. Fat tissue is a dynamic, complex and necessary component of life.
4. Girls are born with more fat cells than boys.
5. By the time you’re a teenager, you will likely have all the fat cells you are ever going to have.
6. Fat grows when existing cells enlarge and when new cells get created.
7. The number of fat cells can go up, but not down.
8. When you lose weight, existing fat cells shrink.
9. Fat cells die, but your body quickly replenishes them with the same number.
10. Fat cells are bigger in obese people.
11. Fat cells come in two types: white and brown. White is the kind that makes your jeans too tight. Brown fat is found in babies and has the ability to burn energy.
12. Fat cells, like cancer cells, and other cells in the body, feed themselves oxygen with new blood vessels in a process known as angiogenesis. Fat can’t expand without expanding its blood vessels, just like a city can’t expand without expanding its roads. Researchers are studying whether certain cancer drugs can starve fat cells to stop fat expansion the same way they starve tumors.
