The Problem with Weight Loss: Your Body Will Do The Opposite
Homeostasis is the property of a living organism which
regulates its internal environment so as to maintain a stable, constant
condition.
When you fail to drink enough water in the short term
-- often the body retains water. It attempts to maintain homeostasis by
counteracting the stresses we put on it.
When you drink a lot of extra water - your body
excretes more water to maintain balance.
When we weight train -- we actually break down muscle
tissue. And the body reacts by creating new muscle. It attempts to preserve
homeostasis by doing the reverse of the stimulus we put on it.
When a male takes supplemental testosterone -- the body
turns off its own production in a bid to maintain homeostasis.
When we immunize children against disease -- we
actually inject them with a small dose of that disease. The immune system
recognizes the vaccine as foreign, destroys it, and 'remembers' it. When the
virulent version of an agent comes along, the immune system is thus prepared to
respond. In order to prepare the body to defend against a disease - we expose
it to the disease - and it responds by doing the opposite - it destroys the
disease.
In almost every situation I can think of, the body
tries to maintain homeostasis by "doing the opposite" of the
stimulus.
How does this apply to weight loss?
Now we know that while you are doing it -- low
intensity exercise burns primarily fat.
Higher intensity exercise actually burns more carb
stores than fat.
But in every head to head comparison, high intensity
exercise results in more fat loss than low intensity exercise - even though the
more intense work may burn a lesser percentage of fat during the exercise
session.
Burning glycogen results in a larger amount of fat lost
than burning fat directly.
The body responds by "doing the opposite"...
Break down muscle to grow more muscle. Burn glycogen to
lose more fat.
I designed Warp Speed Fat Loss training program to
specifically take advantage of this ‘law’ of nature so that when your body
“does the opposite” you’ll end up with faster and greater fat loss.
