Ways to reduce body fat
Question : MY BMI is 32kg/m2,
which falls in the obese group.
Lately, I went on a strict
diet where I tried to reduce
my carbohydrate intake. I
also go jogging at least three
times a week. However, my
weight has still not gone
down. Please advise.
Answer : THE basic problem
in weight gain is caused by
an abnormal biochemistry due
to a diet of excess refined
carbohydrates and saturated
fats and reduction in activity
level when reaching adulthood.
The normal answer to this
question is usually to eat
low-calorie food, have a high-fibre
diet and exercise more. Practise
steady and non-stop aerobic
exercises for not less than
12-20 minutes as they can
change the biochemical level
of carbohydrates and fat metabolism
and stimulate the endocrine
system to burn more fat. The
types of exercises needed
are those performed in aerobic
exercise classes, fast walking,
jogging and cycling.
You may incorporate L-Carnitine
in your daily diet. It is
an amino acid derivative that
transports fatty acids into
the mitochondria (powerhouse
of cells) where they are rapidly
burned and transformed into
energy. Additionally, L-Carnitine
prevents accumulation of fat
in various parts of body,
thus reducing excessive body
fat. It also boosts exercise
endurance by increasing energy
production.
For a synergistic effect,
increase the intake of lecithin.
The main constituent of lecithin,
phosphatidyl choline, has
the ability to break down
the fatty deposits in the
bloodstream.
