Metabolism is the master of your weight loss
What is Your Metabolism?
Your metabolism has many components and functions, and the fat burning function of your metabolism holds the key to successful weight loss. Your thyroid gland (in your neck), your adrenal glands (kidneys), your liver, your digestive system, your blood sugar levels and your hormone balance are some of the key components of your weight loss metabolism.
The health and functioning of these components has enormous control over how successful your weight loss will be and how much you will get from your dieting and exercise. This is the very foundation of good weight loss.
Shifting Stubborn Fat
Stubborn body-fat especially on the stomach, hips and thighs, is essentially 'locked-in' body-fat. The metabolism of the surrounding area - blood flow, oxygen supply, toxin level and hormone balance - has changed, making access to this fat very difficult. When this is combined with the fact that the actual amount of real fat that people burn is very small on most weight loss plans, you can clearly see why people can never really shift stubborn fat.
Only combining the three keys can address both of these problems. The metabolism key helps to correct the environment around the stubborn fat and allows these fat cells to be accessed again. Now that these fat cells are receptive to change, a measured exercise and diet plan will break down the cells.
This is why the amount of fat you burn by combining the three keys is going to be much higher than with dieting only or exercise alone.
Re-balancing 'Top' and 'Bottom' Heavy Bodies
Everyone is born with a particular body type. I am sure you are familiar with 'apples' (larger on top) and 'pears' (larger on the bottom). Well there are actually four different body types that a woman can be and three different types that a man can be. Your body type gives you an inherited metabolic disposition or tendency. It determines where you are most likely to put on excess weight. For example apples tend to put weight on top easier and pears then to put weight on their hips and thighs easier. Problems only arise when your body type gets out of control. People turn into very big 'apples' or very big 'pears' etc and become very unhappy with their shape.
The person's metabolic disposition now starts to over accumulate weight in these areas. The fat cells in these areas and the surrounding environment are switched on to fat storage, and your ability to burn fat is reduced. Your inherited metabolism is gone into overdrive! Re-balancing your metabolism is fundamental to re-balancing a 'top' or 'bottom' heavy body. You need to reverse the activity of the fat cells and the surrounding environment. Dieting and exercise will have very little effect unless you have fixed your metabolism. Fix your metabolism and you can comfortably lose up to a stone in six weeks.
The 'X Factor' of weight loss
Having the know-how to fix your metabolise, and to give you an exact food and exercise plan that is perfect for your body is one thing, but everyone needs the motivation and support to them on track. A System 10 programme is fully balanced and includes detailed meal plans, but the 'X Factor' is the weekly personal consultations. Keeping yourself motivated and enthusiastic an essential element for anyone that really wants to lose weight. So if you are serious about weight loss, your need to address the three keys and to make sure that you have the drive and support to put your plan into action.
