Metabolic System The Nutritional Foundations of the Metabolic System

| Each of us has a pool of calories that we burn
each day. About 75% of these calories are allocated to Thermogenesis.
Thermogenesis means "production of heat" . Its
primary purpose is to maintain our bodies at a constant temperature and
the other 25% of our calorie pool can be used as we wish. this
energy can be dedicated to physical exercise, mental or emotional
activity. If we don't use these calories they will be stored as fat.
In general we use about 10% for exercise and the rest of the 15% is stored
as fat. In order to lose weight we must eliminate fat storage and increase the use of our calorie pool. The most efficient way to do this is to increase our thermogenesis. You can see that it is five times more difficult to lose weight by exercise alone than it is to increase your thermogenic calorie budget. Small and safe increases in thermogenesis can mean large changes in the number of calories you burn in a day. Here's an example: A generally healthy person who maintains a good diet can use a thermogenic stimulator like SHAPE FAST OR POWER TABS to safely and effectively raise his or her body temperature by one degree. Maintaining this increased body temperature forces your body to burn a extra pound of body fat a week. Generating energy in the body is just like generating energy in a car. Cars generate energy to perform a variety of functions including motion, air conditioning and playing music. Dietary supplements provide your body nutritional building blocks necessary to generate energy for weight loss and support health body functions. When your body produces energy efficiently it minimizes the production of metabolic waste and free radicals. Power in weight management comes from increasing the amount of energy your body produces in a given amount of time . This is commonly called your metabolic rate and is measured in calories burned per day. Energy production in the body is nutrient driven. The rate and efficiency with which oxygen, fat and sugars are burned in the mitochondria or furnace of the cell is regulated by three groups of nutrients. These are vitamins, minerals and plant nutrients. Caffeine from tea, coffee, guarana, kola nut, along with aspirin like compounds derived form white willow bark, work synergistically with Ephedra to produce a more potent thermogenic reaction. SHAPE FAST and POWER TABS have another powerful effect for weight management and its called appetite suppression . When thermogenesis is increased , blood flow is diverted from the digestive organs to the extremities of the body. Hunger is postponed and appetite is suppressed. What to do when weight loss stops? When the body sees that fat stores start eroding it will automatically lower your resting metabolic rate (RMR) . When the RMR goes down this is usually called a weight plateau. When this happens ask your self three questions: How is your diet? When do you eat? Are you consuming the essential vitamins and plant nutrients needed to support your system? Diet: Use a rotation diet consisting of three normal meals (2000 for men) (1800 for women) on even days and on odd days one normal meal and two snacks (1200 calories) . Many factors contribute to modern niutritional deficiencies including soil depletion, food refinement, food selection, poor digestion, cooking methods, food aging, medications, air and water pollution, smoking, alcohol, stress and food additives. We rely on convenience and fast foods. A sound nutritional program in today's day and age requires a good supplemental program. A good rule of thumb is to rotate your calories by 30-50% each day. If you do this you will break your plateau. Energy gives you life. It provides you the drive to feel your best, and look your best so you can achieve your goals . Also you should be doing some type of aerobic activity a minimum of three times and week and try to do a weight lifting program a minimum of twice a week . If you put all this together there is no reason you should not look your best and feel the best of your life.
