THE G.I. FACTOR AND WEIGHT REDUCTION: THE NEED FOR EXERCISEA ‘fast metabolism’ is not necessarily a matter of luck. Exercise, or any physical activity, speeds up our metabolic rate. By increasing our kilo-joule expenditure, exercise helps to balance our sometimes excessive kilojoule intake from food. Exercise also makes our muscles better at using fat as a source of fuel. By improving the way insulin works, exercise increases the amount of fat we burn. A low G.I. diet has the same effect. Low G.L foods reduce the amount of insulin we need which makes fat easier to burn and harder to store. Since body fat is what you want to get rid of when you lose weight, exercise in combination with a low G.L diet makes a lot of sense! Why exercise keeps you moving. The effect of exercise doesn’t stop when you stop moving. People who exercise have higher metabolic rates and their bodies bum more kilojoules per minute even when they are asleep! The body loves to store fat. It is a way of protecting us in case of famine. In the midst of plenty we are building up our fat stores. *103\42\4*         Random PostsLeave OneYou must be logged in to post a comment. |
