Losing Weight: The Simple Science of Losing Weight

Are you committed to losing weight and keeping it off? Then, it is time to discover the science of losing weight. Losing weight is the result of a chemical reaction that takes place in the body where stored fat is used for energy.

It is important to learn the science of losing weight. When we learn the science of losing weight, we empower ourselves through knowledge and we can enjoy permanent and healthy weight-loss.

Losing weight is a science therefore we must take a scientific view of how we gain weight in the first place. For instance, did you know that 80% of all people who are overweight are food addicts and emotional eaters? Did you know that food addiction and emotional eating is the result of chemicals found in the foods you eat? The science of losing weight explains how this happens. From day 1 of our lives, not only was food associated with emotional comfort in our mother's arms, it also induced our brain to secrete a "happy feeling" chemical that is a hundred times stronger than some alcohol and drugs.

Unfortunately, this resulting physiological factor can overwhelm anyone's willpower effectively and quickly. This makes losing weight very difficult. In our society, we celebrate with food. Birthday parties, we have food. Holidays, we have food. But what makes losing weight a task for many is those highly addictive processed foods full of sugars, starches, and empty calories. These foods were designed to be addictive. A certain brand of potato chips declared, "you can't eat just one." We are addicted to the fat, starches, sugars, and other non-living chemicals found in breads, pastas, thick rich sauces, cheeses, meat, cured meats, processed meats, flour, treats, potato chips and a myriad of other dead foods filled with empty calories and void of nutrients.

As one can see, these foods are called "comfort" foods for a reason. As you eat these foods, a "feel good hormone" is released called serotonin. However, the release is sharp and unregulated which causes us to crash soon afterwards. There are foods we can eat in certain combinations and quantities that will release serotonin. As such, we will feel ecstatic throughout the day without a dreadful crash and loss of energy.

You cannot pile on the chemical laden comfort foods and expect to lose weight. The food industry has played on our love for comfort foods and cause an epidemic of obesity especially in America. Consequently, this is the law of chemical affinity at work in the worst way.

Let's look at another scientific component to weight-loss. Did you know that properly combining your food will trigger the chemical reaction that promotes weight loss and keep it off? There are specific ways in which we can combine our foods that will help us quickly metabolize fat, carbohydrates, and proteins, use them for energy, and prevent storing additional fat in the body. If you have a proper metabolic rate, then losing weight will be steady and faster.

In fact, proper food combinations help to keep our body at proper pH levels for burning fat stored on the body. With these efforts, your body will better respond to your exercise and fitness program. Losing weight will be a natural process without losing energy. This will allow you to literally reshape your body!

Have no fear! You can eat plenty of food and still lose weight. The science of losing weight demands that you do eat. The key is to eat 6 small meals a day that are properly pH balanced to enhance your body's metabolism. Your body contains a natural fat burner that just needs to be charged up.

In order to know what to do and when to do it, we must get accurate information. We need to learn more about how our bodies work and how we can keep our bodies healthy, fit, vital, and strong.

Empower yourself with knowledge and wisdom about the science of losing weight. Get control over your life and your body.
