Introduction to the Slimming Mechanism ( Briefly Described )

         Introduction to the Slimming Mechanism

                            ( Briefly Described )

Weight loss is a physiological process characterized by the reduction of reserve fatty tissue, to which is added, as a consequence, a decrease in total body mass.

The slimming process is based on four main factors, which, depending on the case, may prevail over each other:


 lack of balance between energy introduced with food (lower) and energy consumed by cells (higher) → typical of low-calorie diets;

increase in the metabolic impact of food → typical of high-protein / ketogenic and / or rich in nerve foods diets;

increase in metabolism → typical of slimming regimes which involve the association of moderately low-calorie diets with muscle toning and strengthening activities; temporarily also favored by the use of nerve / thermogenic foods or supplements;

 achievement of the nutritional balance that affects both nutrients and nutritional components (first of all, fiber) → typical of balanced, moderately low-calorie weight loss regimens, which provide for a drop in weight in the order of 500/750 grams per week.

In general, slimming uses a complex mechanism of positive and negative feedback that affect the entire metabolism, the hormonal axis and the various cellular processes of the tissues. More precisely, to lose weight it is necessary to place the organism in conditions of "catabolism", that is, of "demolition" of the reserve tissues for energy purposes (the opposite of "anabolism" or "construction").


How to lose weight

The main targets of the slimming catabolic process are the subcutaneous fat, the visceral fat, the muscle glycogen and the liver glycogen; however, for various reasons, an excessively intense or prolonged catabolic phase can significantly compromise the integrity of other structures, primarily the muscular one.

WARNING! Weight loss is NOT a selective process on the fat mass, therefore a mild catabolism of the other tissues is almost always inevitable; this can be limited by starting a well-thought-out muscle protocol or, less intelligently, by using doping (thyroid hormones, steroids, somatotropin etc.). On the other hand, this depletion can be both imperceptible and very intense, depending on the "speed" of weight reduction, nutritional balance, volume and type of motor activity etc.


OVERWEIGHT AND HEALTH

Taking a small step back, I think it is appropriate to focus on some basic concepts that affect (alas) ALL strategies for weight loss. If it is true that the reduction of adipose tissue is a physiological process, it is equally true that it is a tiring and not always necessary process, since it is often dictated by deviated aesthetic canons. On the other hand, it is true that overweight (and related complications) represent among the main risk factors for early death in industrialized societies; therefore, in these cases, weight loss is used as a real THERAPY of medical interest.


Weight loss for health purposes is indicated only for those who cross the "health border", that is:


Who has a Body Mass Index greater than 24.9

Who has an unfavorable distribution of fat and other risk factors

Who has traces of complications of the metabolism of a family nature

Therefore, all the other subjects, with the exception of competitive athletes for whom it is essential to keep the fat mass at the minimum levels (cyclists, runners, etc.), could refrain from the desire to lose weight and save a lot of effort!


Why is losing weight so difficult often?

The various difficulties faced in losing weight derive from the fact that the adipose tissue and the mechanisms that regulate its trophism represent a self-defense system against periods of famine and malnutrition; this process was developed through the evolution of the animal species, which lasted "only" a few million years.


It goes without saying that, in conditions of food overabundance (typical of consumer societies), it is not particularly "easy" to maintain a moderate level of fat. Put simply, whatever type of diet you follow, SLIMMING IS ALWAYS MORE DIFFICULT THAN GREASING; I therefore invite readers to not be fooled by marketing and the pseudo-scientific theories that bombard the media lately (and more and more often), luring both the sick and the healthy and poorly perceived their body shapes.

It is therefore not possible to lose weight without feeling an appetite, even if with a good strategy you can safely avoid real hunger.


The best systems for weight loss are those that involve the use of a physical exercise protocol, since they allow you to eat more. However, it is also advisable not to "open the gap too much" between the energy consumed with the power supplies

Does SHEA BUTTER darken the complexion?

Does Shea Butter darken the complexion? ARSHLAY When you want to use a body product, the first thing you care about is whether it "darkens" the skin. For those of us with black skin, our complexion can vary under the effect of beauty products. Some tend to lighten it, others darken it. I prefer the term "darken" to "blacken" because at the base, our skin is black but it is the complexion that varies from one person to another, from honey to caramel color. By claiming that the skin turns black, we might think that we are questioning the basic color of our skin. Which is not the case. It is just a question of the variation of the complexion. Everyone prefers to have a uniform and radiant complexion. Admittedly it can vary according to the seasons, but it always returns to its basic color in a natural way. And as I said, body products can alter the complexion. Except that it is not only industrial products, natural products are also affected, it all depends
