January: How to get rid of excessive
With the end of the year, you are bombarded by pell-mell of advice and recommendations how to get back to your dream body weight. We will not stay aloof in our topic of the month because weight reduction is really the most sought-after topic at the beginning of the year. But compared to others, we can offer you a complex view supported by longtime experience from work with our clients.
Perhaps each start of a new calendar year runs in the same spirit – Christmas has brought us excessive kilograms and our layer of subcutaneous fat has grown thicker. That has lead also to our worsened fitness and physical condition needed for optimum sports performance. The food rich in saturated fats and simple sugars has impacted also our metabolism.
But the following five pieces of advice should help you to recover your lost shape and perhaps shift it a little further.
1) Return to regular dietary regimen
You should return to your regular dietary regimen corresponding to your habits as soon as possible. You should include food with high contents of high-quality proteins, with a dose of complex saccharides and low percentage of saturated fats again. The return to regular diet will at the same time provide for reduction of stress provoked by unclear eating schedule. The 100% Whey Protein, CFM Whey Protein Isolate, World No.1 or Whey Protein Actions 85 protein cocktails will help you best with high-quality proteins without excessive fatty acids.
2) Reduce sugar and salt intake
Although it may not sound very logically, Christmas has left you with a lot of water inside. Excess of simple saccharides in form of Christmas sweets, hollow chocolates from the Christmas tree and different titbits, as well as foods with high sodium contents cause our body to retain water. Water looks like fat tissue – it increases our body weight and covers all body parts including the belly. So if you reduce the contents of simple sugars and sodium in your diet, such excessive liquid will “flow away” from your organism. One advice in conclusion – be sure not to finish the Christmas sweets. You should better put it into the freezer for later festive moments during the year.
3) Burn fat
It is easy to say but more difficult to do. Besides, a lot of people unfortunately do not know how to manage efficiently the burning of fat. But the way is quite simple. One of the solutions can consist in reducing the energy intake under the output value. It is also convenient to include a suitable sports activity that burns fat, i.e. it must be performed in the aerobic zone with heart rate of 130-150 beats per minute. That is strain of such intensity that you should be able to talk with slightly getting out of breath. Such heart rate causes increased oxidation of fats aimed at covering the energy need of the organism to perform work (exercise). A suitable frequency is repeating 2-3 training units per week in a duration of 45-60 minutes. You can for example go skating, cross-country skiing or walking through the snowy landscape.
4) Use CARNITINE
It is convenient to use an efficient assistant – carnitine – to burn the fat reserves. As we have stated above, you burn fat at physical strain in aerobic zone. But in order to make the burning more efficient, you should use carnitine preparations. Carnitine provides for transfer of fatty acids into the mitochondria of the muscle cells where they are burnt into energy under aerobic conditions. You can choose from several variants of products containing carnitine (CarniXplode 60.000, L-Carnitine 35 000 s vit. B5, L-Carnitine Chromium, New L-Carnitine etc.).
5) Prevent influenza
The reduced energy intake, inseparably connected with January, leads to reduced immunity of the organism. That results in higher occurrence of colds and influenza diseases that can eliminate you from the common daily regime or training process. The HMB product can help you to fight against such adverse condition – it is not only able to support immunity but also to support fat burning and anabolic processes in your organism. Together with HMB, use also vitamin C that is indispensable for the immune process – choose from the Vitamin C500 and Vitamin C1000 forms.
So we have already laid the foundations for getting back into pre-Christmas shape. We cross our fingers for your determination to change your figure. You will certainly succeed, and Aminostar will be pleased to assist you in it.
