Case:
Name: Bella, 25, lost25 lbs a year.
I was a slightly obese person. I had heard from one of my PE teachers that people get fatter after they stop exercising. I was a sports fan in the university. But after graduation, I felt tired. Thus, I seldom did exercise. Now, to reduce excessive fat, reshape my figure and get a nice figure again, I started morning exercises. Every morning, I get up early and go job outside. After that I do some aerobics. After nearly one year, I body shape recovered and I found myself again. I regained my self-confidence back again.
Principle of weight loss
Doing exercises is the first effective way to prevent obesity. It has great effect on balancing the hormones. When doing it carefully, you can release the growth hormone that burns fat, decreases cortisol, and increase the sensitivity of cells to insulin. Too many people do not exercise after aging, then they blame hormones for slow metabolism. Definitely, we are aging, and the hormones are prone to putting on weight. For example, when we are aging, the leptin receptor in the brain begins to decline. So even if we eat, if the body still is not aware of that action – this may lead to overeating. For women, the hormone declines as aging. And at the same time, the regulating role of insulin to the hormones decreases, which may lead to weight gain. However, more and more research shows that the muscles decreased during aging can be controlled by us. We always blame aging for abdominal fat accumulation. But in fact, we did not take care of ourselves! If we eat cleaner foods in a cleaner environment and proactively do exercises, the hormones in our bodies will be much better and our metabolism will be sustained at a healthy level. The body needs physical exercise as it needs oxygen and water.
So exercising is the best way to lose weight. Then why it is best to exercise before meals? The metabolism keeps at a high level when people are doing exercises and it will still be at the same status to consume more energy after stopping it. Thus at that time, the body needs more fat to burn for gaining energy. At the same time, doing exercise can reduce the storage of glycogen in the body so that the carbohydrates in food can be easily converted into glycogen instead of into fat.
Therefore, doing exercise before meals (best of best: in the early morning) is the best timing. For example, walking, jogging, doing aerobics or dancing are all good options. But the exercise intensity should be of medium or high, otherwise it is useless.
Review of weight-loss method: Exercising in the morning is the best time to do it.
