Our Approach to Weight Loss
Our bodies are complex machines designed to use and store energy. Excess energy (in the form of calories) that isn’t used immediately by the body is stored in specialized cells called adipocytes. This excess energy can be accessed at a later time when energy intake is poor. A large number of adipocytes are called adipose tissue which tends to accumulate in larger and larger proportions throughout our body. We call this excess adipose tissue “fat”.
Large amounts of adipose tissue tend to have an adverse effect on the rest of our body. The consequences that an increase in fat has on our body’s systems include a reduction in the function of our immune system, an increase in blood pressure and heart rate, insulin resistance, impaired fertility, certain brain tumors, organ failures, and sleep abnormalities. The good news is that fat reduction can sometimes reverse these abnormal effects. Reducing your fat stores is sometimes referred to as weight loss. In reality, weight loss brought on by “fad” diets and severe calorie reduction (starvation) is more likely to result in the loss of muscle mass rather than fat. This type of weight loss (loss of muscle mass) is not sustainable and the weight usually returns once an individual resumes normal calorie consumption.
There is a way to reduce body fat while maintaining or even increasing muscle mass. This is the safest and most effective way to lose excess body fat for the long-term with less chance of weight regain. This is the main goal of our program: body fat reduction and metabolism maintenance.
