Burning The Right Calories For Weight Loss

Burning calories is great for weight loss! But what happens if they’re the wrong calories? Meaning, what happens if we’re burning calories from muscle mass and not from fat? I’ll tell you what happens; we end up losing the wrong type of weight. Sure, the short term goal of weight loss is realized, but the long term goal of weight maintenance is never fully attainable because we just keep making it harder on ourselves. Unfortunately, in our quest to lose weight, and to lose it as quickly as possible, we might make decisions that could negatively impact us for the rest of our lives. Some people might starve themselves to the point where the body has an extremely hard time burning stored fat. Other individuals might perform the wrong types of exercise and/or at the wrong intensity or volume, causing harm to their metabolism, and making it easier to accumulate fat. In many cases people might not consume enough protein, which in turn makes it harder for the body to preserve muscle mass during a caloric deficit. All of the above examples are very real problems currently happening to many people searching for that holy grail of weight loss. Let me first start by saying the term “weight loss” should really be considered “fat loss”. Weight loss is the more popular phrase, but if we start thinking in terms of fat loss, we start training ourselves to create the right habits. When we’re educated on the correct fundamentals of fat loss, we set ourselves up for success. Here at Nuviva, we stress the importance of the correct fundamentals to create the right habits and achieve optimal fat loss. Thankfully at Nuviva Medical Weight Loss we educate our patients in a manner where these fundamentals are understood, practiced, and realized in a fashion conducive to both short term and long term success. The principles of nutrition are of utmost importance, and patients are educated properly within each phase. In my next blog, I will touch on the reasons why patients at Nuviva avoid the detrimental effects caused by some of the decisions mentioned above. It’s really as simple as following the nutritional principles, exercise guidelines, and using hCG as a tool for utilizing stored fat as an energy source for optimal fat loss.
