Hormones For Fat Loss

Controlling Hormones For Fat Loss can easily be done once you understand how it works. Regardless of what people believe, weight loss and fat loss are not the same. When training for weight loss, you are not concerned with where you’re losing the weight.

Yes, you are burning a lot of calories and losing weight when you train for weight loss but, most of the time those pounds you lose come from muscle instead of fat. The lost of muscle will cause your metabolism to slow down which will interfere with the fat burning process.

If you are like me, you want to maintain your muscle mass and the only weight you want to lose is from your excess body fat. This is where you’ll see the importance of hormones for fat loss. Depending on food choices and the method of exercises, you will either burn body fat or store it. In both diet and exercise, you can manipulate your hormones to target the calories from your stored fat. This hormonal response is known as the After Burn Effect.

Hormones For Fat Loss And The After Burn Effect

The After Burn Effect is when your body uses fat as the primary source of fuel. With the correct food choices in your diet to boost your metabolism, you can experience this after burn effect 2 to 4 hours after every meal. And for the exercise, when done right and with the correct intensity, you can experience the after burn effect up to 48 hours.
