Everything you want to know about fat loss can be summed up in one sentence.” If you eat more than you burn you will store it as fat".
Truthfully, if fat loss was really that simple why is it that some people that are overweight eat barely anything and can’t lose weight? I can relate to this truth on a personal level!
Understand that storing fat is a natural body function that is actually meant to protect us. Fat stores are designed to protect our organs and ward off starvation. We now know that the type of fat you eat is more important than the amount of fat you eat. Good fats, like the omega-3 fatty acids turn on your body's fat-burning genes and bad fats turn them off. These same metabolic processes control the once believed idea that you need to engage in extreme cardiovascular exercise and limit caloric intake to burn fat, when in fact it is not biologically possible.
 What is true is that extreme exercise and drastically reduced calorie intake can initiate a “starvation response” which may actually promote future weight gain. Why? The survival response, a metabolic process, sends a signal to our fat stores and says, “Hold on, we may not eat for a while”. And so they do literally hang on – usually where we least want them. Understand that low calorie diets completely defeat the purpose of permanent weight loss.
The goal of Body Works is to help you make wise choices that will empower your body to function at its most optimal level. Give up the entire concept of using low calorie diets to lose weight. Permanent fat lose cannot be achieved by going on and off diets. Learning new nutrition and exercise habits that you can use for life is our goal.
 Body Works is dedicated to assist you in this journey. It’s all about choices! Call us today for reshaping garments, nutritional products, body wraps and facials at 757-228-3864.
