Need to understand that muscle is to lose weight is difficult to accept. People usually turn to drastic diets or methods miracles found in magazines whose sole purpose is to sell:

“Lose 10 kg in 2 weeks before the summer without any effort.”

Certain (e) s are on a diet several times during the year and victims of the yo-yo effect. Indeed, the body adapts and reduces basal metabolism when it is facing a famine that drags. It is then forced to adapt and to spend less energy.

The basic metabolism or basal, depends on several factors such as age, sex, muscle mass and fat but for some it also depends on genetics, we are not equal before the plate, some will eat a lot without taking and not others is unfair.

The energy in calories of this type of scheme is generally low but the protein problem, especially if it becomes nearly non-existent. The body will then draw directly into the muscles that are storehouses of amino acids and energy to compensate for this lack. Muscles is less than the decline in metabolism.

These deprivations can not last forever, they eventually crack and resume normal diet before and then dropped on the worst food. They regrossir even more than before, even by eating light because their metabolism and decreased body made reservations in case of a new famine!

These plans also deprive the person of vitamins and minerals with adverse consequences for health (eg calcium). In addition to their social life is affected because people in the long are constantly tired and aggressive and is the spouse or child support. For there to be loss of fat is that the energy expenditure exceeds caloric intake, therefore the solution to dry is to reduce caloric intake through diet and increase energy expenditure.

Can slimming pills only? What is the truth of the pharmacological treatment of this chronic disease?

There are currently several drugs on the market for weight loss. Beyond this stock available, the first thing to consider is that they are not “magic pills” because all drug treatments should always be prescribed by the physician and appropriate to the needs of each patient.

That said key, the second thing to keep in mind is that successful weight loss when the doctor prescribes a drug for the treatment of obesity is always linked to compliance with a low calorie diet, physical activity and changes in the lifestyle.

That is, medication can help or add benefits to weight loss, but for themselves its effectiveness is very low and in some cases may even be counterproductive. It is for this reason that treatment for weight loss is a path that consists of stages and drugs are not the first alternative therapy and are not the only option when they are prescribed.

Within the supply of medicines to help treat obesity are some specially designed for this chronic disease and others who, having been developed for the treatment of other conditions, proved also effective for obesity.

In both cases can be classified among those who are acting on the central nervous system and those who do not act on it.

It is within this latter group that is orlistat, a drug specifically designed for the treatment of obesity does not act on the nervous system.

It is a gastrointestinal lipase inhibitor, an enzyme that is normally found in our stomach and intestine and has the task of making the fat molecules in food to become smaller to be absorbed by the body.

Orlistat (Xenical) blocks this enzyme and its action, fat molecules can not be absorbed and eliminated through the fecal material that is not getting into the body of calories from fat.

Taking the standard dose of 120 mg 3 times daily and in combination with a healthy diet and active lifestyle, you can reduce 10% of initial weight and metabolic and cardiovascular risks associated with obesity (total and LDL cholesterol ‘bad’, glucose-high blood sugar).

Although in some countries was approved for nonprescription use in Argentina Orlistat (Xenical) is always indicated under medical supervision, which increases the chances of success in people who change their habits and combine it with a style healthy lifestyle.

Thinking about weight loss medications and only recommendation for a weight reduction lacks common sense, and failing to take seriously overweight is associated with several diseases like high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes and heart problems.

Although popular wisdom holds that a calorie is a calorie no matter where it comes from, if that is of a salmon fillet or an ice cream cone. But you do not have to be a nutritionist to realize that there is a huge difference between the nutrition of salmon verses that the ice cream. The legions of chronic dieters understand the differences, based on personal experiences. For example, demand that earn a lot of weight after eating a slice of pizza that is rich in carbohydrates, but they do after eating a large chicken breast and a meal of steamed broccoli that contains even more calories.

Now there is a legitimate scientific explanation for why some calories are different from others. Dr. Eugene J. Fine, MD, and Richard D. Feinman, PhD, State University Medical Center of New York Downstate in Brooklyn, explained that the widely held belief calorie-be-a-calorie is based on the law of thermodynamics, which is a key concept in the physics. The first law of thermodynamics is the amount of energy between a system that is equal to the amount of energy that is released. To lose weight along this line of thinking, you need to eat fewer calories or consume more of them.

However, researchers have pointed out that the second law of thermodynamics can be associated with living creatures. The second law of thermodynamics demands that a variation and inefficiency inherent in all biological and biochemical processes. This can also be understood as saying that people burn energy less efficiently than do cars and light bulbs, while doing some power of the people burn less efficiently than other people.

There are many reasons that a calorie is not always a calorie. If you have a resting metabolic rate higher, you will do a much better job of burning all kinds of calories, as compared to someone who has a lower metabolic rate. If you secret much insulin due to being pre-diabetic or overweight, then you will be much more likely to make fat than muscle. Also, if you eat fatty foods with transitive, you are much more likely to gain weight around your waist. It is recommended that people eat the highest quality of calories as possible. This includes nutrient-dense foods such as fish, chicken, vegetables, minerals, quality protein and healthy fats. These foods provide us with most of the vitamins that are necessary for a healthy and balanced diet.

The alternative is not recommended, sweets, soft drinks, breads, pastries, bagels, and muffins. These foods provide empty calories, especially in the form of sugars and starches. These foods also trigger the production of excess insulin, which will store these calories especially around their trash, which is an occurrence that is definitely unwanted by most people.

Given the above facts, we can finally conclude that a single calorie of a salmon fillet is not equivalent to a single calorie of an ice cream cone, because the calorie salmon fillet is packed with many more vitamins and nutrients that the ice cream cone is lacking.
