Running for Weight Loss More at https://bellyproof.com In this video we are going to look at a few interesting subject around running and weight loss. Running (in moderation) can have some amazing benefits, for your fitness, your heart and even your mood. Done right, anybody can benefit from some running. We will look at the following subject: 1. Runners vs Potheads - runner's high is often described the same way as any high, and it turns out it's all about the ECS system. 2. Train but don't strain - the importance of utilizing wide range of movements to avoid a repetitive strain injury, which is common with avid runners. It's the crazy idea, that if we keep doing the same movement, using the same muscles (running) in different intensities (jogging, running and sprinting), we can overwork these muscles and joints. 3. Running for weight loss Running is a great way to start building your fitness, improve your basic aerobic and anaerobic capacity and get better at pumping blood to the working muscles. While a lot of people use running for the purpose of weight loss, we argue it's not an efficient strategy on its own but it can be useful as part of a wider system, to help you in your body transformation. We also talk about cardio (cardiovascular - or training the cardiac muscle, a.k.a "the heart"), heart rate training and the problem surrounding fatigue. 4. Long distance running (marathons) and heart health We reference some interesting work by a leading cardiologist examining the heart health of long distance runners and the conclusions are very interesting. Finally, we give tips on how much running would benefit you the most, and how to use it to your advantage.

What happens when you hit a weight loss plateau in your body transformation? Are you doing something wrong or is it something to expect? More at https://Bellyproof.com In this video we cover 4 major reasons why you can expect your progress to slow down as you get leaner. It's inventible but if you're doing everything right, it's not a bad thing! The 4 reasons are: 1. Glycogen and added water retention 2. Water retention from supplements 3. Forgetting to progress intensity 4. Stubborn fat ratios This is a fascinating vireo, inspired directly by questions we have received about these, and we hope it gives you the insight you need to interrupt it correctly as you progress with your fitness journey. 1. Glycogen Glycogen is a storage form of carbohydrates in the muscles (around 600g) and in the liver (around 80g). Glycogen is the first to go and the first to replenish following low carb and high carb cycles. What most people don't know is that glycogen binds up to 5 times its own mass in water. So if you have around 680g (700g or so) of glycogen, you can also expect it to bind up to 3500g of water - in total between 3-4kg of your weight is made up of this. When you initially lose weight, especially if you are using weights, cardio and restrictive diets, most of what you're doing is restrict glycogen (Through diet) and burn it off (through aerobic exercise). This leads you to lose 3-4kg of weight relatively quickly and many people mistaken that for fast progress. The same goes for when people go on holiday and put 3-4kg back on really quickly. Fat loss takes a little more strategy to lose and it's not as quick to gain so if you yo-yo weight quickly, you're likely not dealing with body fat, but rather glycogen. 2. Water retention from supplements like creatine monohydrates comes by standard, some in the form of bloating and some in the form of extra-cellular water. This doesn't make a supplement bad, it really doesn't. However, this is something that can confuse you in your progress as some water collects around your belly and can appear like body fat. This is why it makes sense to de-load supplements that can cause that, towards the end of a fat loss program, so that you can see your final result. 3. Progressing intensity. Many people feel they can't lose fat as quickly even though their fitness level improve. This is actually a factor that is often overlooked. For example, let's take a pull-up. If you've lost 10kg and progressed your strength over a few weeks, and you now attempt a pull-up, not only you are stronger, but you are also pulling 10kg less in resistance (as it's your own body weight that you lost). The only way to match the initial intensity and reactions you are looking for is by increasing the intensity of the pull-ups, as you progress with both your strength and weight loss. Otherwise, you are just working too easy and not making the required effort. 4. Stubborn fat ratios: Last but not least. Stubborn fat like the fat you find in your love handles, back fat, thunder thighs and yes.. belly fat, is not the same as the fat in the rest of your body. Unlike visceral fat and non-stubborn subcutaneous fat, the fat in your belly is high in alphs-2 receptors, cortisol receptors and is very low in blood supply. That makes it harder to access, harder to break (lipolysis) and therefore slower to lose. That's true even with a great strategy that allows good access to it. As you progress, you lose the easy "regular" fat, at a faster pace than you do your stubborn fat, which is slower to lose. Because it's slower to lose, as you progress it may seem like you hit a real plateau, because it's not going as fast. This is mainly due to dealing with the harder, slower fat, once you've tackled most of your easy "regular" fat. Progress is still made, you're now just tackling the slower fat, and so progress is slower. For these 4 reasons, it can feel like you're not going anywhere, and that you are hitting a fat loss plateau in your body transformation. What's your experience?

#shorts When you go through a body transformation? What role does Testosterone plays? Especially when it comes to women who try to lose body fat? T levels can help losing fat by increasing adrenergic beta receptors on adipocytes and also by preventing fat storage (via inhibition of lipoprotein lipase and adipocyte differentiation). Testosterone helps but not nearly as much as growth hormone and adrenaline which are far more important.

What is it about caffeine that helps us lose fat? And how can we avoid the negative effects on sleep. We explore the science. More at https://bellyproof.com We take a good look at how to use caffeine for optimal results with belly fat. Mainly by stimulating Cyclic Adenosine Monophospate (cAMP) as part of lipolysis (fat breaking). We take a look at how to max on the benefits from Adrenaline while avoiding poor sleep pressure (adenosine) regulation or increased cortisol and stress. The bottom line is caffeine is good for you and is a useful tool in losing belly fat, as long as it's used the right way.

Every good body transformation should be able to answer this question: how do we gain weight? If you're going to lose it, make sure you're not shooting yourself in the foot. See more at https://bellyproof.com Most people assume fat gain is down to one thing - excess consumption of calories, and lack of exercise. But in reality, regardless of calories and exercises, many people find that gaining fat is still a problem. How? Well, your fat cells do not store calories, they do however store glucose, after it's converted to fatty acids and then triglycerides. This is a process we call lipogensis and in turn, adipogensis (creation of new fat cells). We explain the process in detail on this video.

Low Calories (Low Fat Diets) and Weight Loss - may sound like a good idea, but we want to explain why they can slow your progress down. More at https://bellyproof.com Most people decide to try and low fat diet for one of two reasons. They either think eating dietary fat will convert into the body storing belly fat or they do so in the effort to reduce calories. Chasing zero calorie foods is counterproductive as it cuts testosterones and increase overall consumption of sugar and carbs. This in turn increase fat gain potential by allowing lipoprotein lipase to trap fat and gives the body extra raw material (glucose) to store as fat too. We explore the details and offer solutions to put you on a better diet to support your weight loss goals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXD09xFS8PA
