Fat Burners: PART 2 Of 2 The Truth... So There!

Fat Burners: PART 2 Of 2 The Truth... So There! 

As a trainer I have seen fitness trends come and go. The same applies to supplements that assist in  fat loss... It used to be chromium, then it was Ephedra, and then some things got banned... In any case, people are still looking for something to help with weight loss, and after twenty years of being in the gym, and spending a lot of time in a classroom, I as a trainer have come to one conclusion.

There is no such chemical as a fat burner.

                         The only chemicals that" burn fat" actually do three things not related to fat burning

                The Three Things they do are not every effective 

Oh, there is a fourth caveat

You have to gain an understanding of basic science

 if you want the science of fat removal to work for you.

 I am going to keep this simple, so that you figure out what works , and save some money. You will not save time,so go sit up straight and learn the following:

Every reaction or process in the body , Including Fat Loss, is controlled Indirectly by a feedback loop. In simple nonscientific English  

1.     if you want something to change you stimulate it 

2.     but the stimulation actually triggers something else 

3.     which in the end controls the original process. Therefore

4.     Nothing is direct.*

You just learned a new concept that controls most of the processes in the human body.Nothing is Direct.  Welcome to your negative feedback loops. These loops are a series of steps.

Got it?  steps 1-4 are there to protect the human body from doing something stupid like dying from the supplement that raises your blood pressure by increasing your oxygen concentration capacity, therefore effectively thickening your blood (Ephedra)

Because we never know where that weak blood vessel that could burst is located , the American Government banned a supplement that acts too much like your own epinephrine. Ephedra  goodbye!  

If you are paying attention, notice that something that acts like your own epinephrine  facilitated weight loss. What about your own epinephrine? Every body has this chemical. How does it work?

Epinephrine works in a Negative feedback Loop, and then if the loop is repeated often enough, weight loss usually results. As long as other things are not inserted into the loop it should work forever right?

 Not quite. In fact the loop gets attenuated . At some point the same chemical no longer gets the desired response.  The loop has adjusted. More about that later. Instead stare at this picture of a negative feedback loop. Knowledge is power.  But seriously something is rotten in fat loss land. They know that you are not a chemist or a physiologist or even a trainer. So they know hat you will spend your last dime on the next thing that works, when the supplement you had Stops. Working.

 
The Fat Burner Stops .Working. because it obeys the law of repetition. 

(Using this simple example of temperature regulation, there more the loop is run, the more the person gets used to heat. Well, the more you use a fat burner that effectively stimulates your body to sweat, use calories etc, supposedly the easier it should be to lose weight.) 

next week, more on fat burners - stay tuned...

*Nothing is direct. Pregnancy is the exception. Pregnancy is directly triggered and  the processes that foster it stimulate growth , therefore pregnancy is the rare Positive feedback loop system in the human body.  We also know that pregnancy adds fat and weight to the system because it is supposed to...
