Let’s know how One Exercise That Can Flatten and Tighten Your Stomach and we’re not talking about sit-ups.
Everyone is aware of the fact that you need to make sure that the number of calories you consume does not surpass the number of calories you expend or use. This way, if we establish a deficit, it will inevitably lead to weight loss.
If you ask an older person who was overweight and wanted to lose weight when did their stubborn metabolism began, it was usually in their late 20s or early 30s after a series of calorie-restrictive diets and it is a theory it’s not a fact.
our bodies have What’s called the endocrine system and this system causes our body to adapt within its environment, and so what the body is going to do when you lower your calories is it’s going to adjust it’s going to become more efficient which it’s a bit slow but it can run further on the same amount of fuel as before.
the other problem with lowering your calories is that now we increase the Battle of hunger cravings and now it’s going to be even harder because you’re going to have to increase your willpower to stick to.
is this whole calorie deficit model sustainable??? NO, it’s not.
Check these quotes:
- all aspects of fat metabolism are greatly enhanced in the absence of insulin.
- when carbohydrates are not utilized for energy almost all of the energy of the body must come from the metabolism of fats.
insulin is the hormone that controls whether you burn fat or not if you reduce insulin your body can then tap into your own fat for energy, and the thing that triggers insulin is carbohydrates.
if we look at the three parts of food we have:
* Carbohydrates
* Protein
* Fat
the carbohydrates that stimulate insulin, fat actually is neutral protein has a moderate effect on insulin but it doesn’t even compare to carbohydrates this tells us you cannot treat all three of these equally, all calories are not the same it is important to talk about the type of calorie we’re talking about and if we really want to lose weight we must lower insulin to do that we must lower our carbohydrate calorie.
what’s interesting about lowering our carbohydrate calories and lowering insulin our body needs to get fuel where is it going to get the fuel? when you are eating you’re getting your energy when you’re not eating where are you getting your energy!! from are you getting it from fat if you’re living on a higher carbohydrate diet it’s very unlikely you’re going to be able to tap in too much fat if you can lower your carbs your body can then finally tap into your own fat.
let’s say for example you’re living on 1000 calories with the low-carb diet you’re also in addition to those 1000 calories using a good amount of fat calories it could be 500 or more, additional calories that we can put in the pool for energy part of it diet part of it’s your own fat and so your hunger goes away you’re no longer craving carbs between meals why your body is eating your own fat between the meal.
if you don’t lower insulin your body’s not going to eat your own fat but if you do lower insulin with a low carb then the body will eat your own fat as fuel we can make it easy for yourself not to have any Cravings or hunger while you’re doing your weight loss program or you can cut your calories and the cool thing about the ketogenic diet which is the low carb diet is that a lot of the energy that your body is running off of is not from the diet it’s from your own body fat.
if your body is getting enough fuel there’s no reason to slow down the metabolism because your body’s getting all the energy it needs this is the purpose of fat to be able to survive between meals you want to think about your fat is a biological Pantry that you’re tapping into so you don’t have to tap into your actual Pantry this does work, the other little point on this is that fat provides more than double the energy than glucose provides it’s very important to tap into fat to use that as a nice sustainable amount of energy for your body.
it takes about two to three days to get into the state of ketosis, so it’s not that long but it does take 2 to three weeks to get fully into hardcore fat adaptation.
there are actually two different sources of fuel, the fat-adaptation is when your body is burning the most fat possible and your body can burn ketones.
if we look at carbohydrates proteins and fats carbohydrates should be about 5% of the diet the protein should be about 20 % and the rest should be the fat.
inside your abdomen, you may have what’s called visceral fat and that is going to come off with the diet that I just mentioned you also have the superficial layer of fat which is also like a spillover from the other fat that is being backed up into the organs deeper in there you have a layer of fascia this fascia is like a gel-like connective tissue and it can atrophy if you don’t use it and that atrophy can look like a flabby stomach.
the best exercises:
I’m going to show you is one of the best exercises that is going to tighten the area around your abdomen.
to eliminate that sagging stomach and almost act like a girdle to keep everything tight, all we’re going to do is this one exercise called the dead bug and I’m going to recommend you do this alternating your leg and your arm when you reach back you see this will give the optimum tension in the middle section to stimulate the fascia and the muscles to get nice and tone versus if you did situps or crunches the problem with that is you’re going to activate the deeper muscles called the soas which are the hip flexors and that is going to event cause your back to be out of balance.
do this exercise every day and within one or two to three weeks you’re going to start to see amazing results.
