The 10 New Rules of Clean Eating

* Orthorexia & The New Rules of Clean Eating Part 2:
The 10 NEW Rules of Clean Eating

Zhou,

In part 1, I described the growing obsession many people have with
eating only the purest, healthiest foods, aka "clean eating."

You'd think that nothing but good would come from that, but some
experts today dislike the concept of clean foods because it implies a
dichotomy where other foods, by default, are "dirty" or forbidden,
as in, you can never, ever eat them again.

I mean, it's one thing to eat only natural, unprocessed foods 90% of
the time, but imagine life without chocolate, or pizza, or beer -
or hey guys, imagine the world series without hot dogs and pretzels!

Some physicians and psychologists even believe that if taken to an extreme,
a fixation on healthy food qualifies as a new eating disorder called
orthorexia.

The Incredible Shrinking Fat Cell

==============================================
BURN THE FAT - Fat Burning Tips Newsletter
Brought to you by Tom Venuto and Burn The Fat
http://www.burnthefat.com
=============================================

-----------------------------------------
BURN THE FAT Q & A
WITH TOM VENUTO, Fat Loss coach
-----------------------------------------

QUESTION:

Dear Tom: I've been enjoying your fat burning tips newsletters
and am fascinated by the whole fat burning process, but would
actually like to know the science of it all. Would you please
try to explain in layman's terms exactly how fat cells work and
what happens when you start to burn body fat. I heard a statement
that the fat cell has to get moved into the muscle cell for it
to be released or burned. Thought you could explain a little better.

Sincerely,

Kevin

ANSWER:

Earlier this week someone in our discussion forum wrote, "I haven't
'LOST' any fat... I know EXACTLY where it went! I got a chuckle out
of that because I "got" the joke, but truth is, most people really
don't know how fat cells work, how the fat burning process takes
place, or where the fat goes when it's burned, so this is a really
good question.

When you "lose" bod yfat, the fat cell (also called an adipocyte)
does not go anywhere or "move into the muscle cell to be burned",
as it was suggested to you.

The fat cell itself, (unfortunately) stays right where it was -
under the skin in your thighs, stomach, hips, arms, etc., and on
top of the muscles - which is why you can't see muscle "definition"
when your body fat is high.

Fat is stored inside the fat cell in the form of triaglycerol. The fat
is not burned right there in the fat cell, it must be liberated from
the fat cell through somewhat complex hormonal/biochemical pathways.

When stimulated to do so, the fat cell simply releases its contents
(triaglycerol) into the bloodstream as free fatty acids (FFA's), and
they are transported through the blood to the tissues where the energy
is needed.

A typical young male stores about 60,000 to 100,000 calories of
energy in body fat cells. What triggers the release of all these stored
fatty acids from the fat cell? Ahhh, that's what we all want to know, right?

Well, it's simple: When your body needs energy because you're consuming
fewer calories than you are burning (an energy deficit), then your body
releases hormones and enzymes that signal your fat cells to release your
fat reserves instead of keeping them in storage.

For stored fat to be liberated from the fat cell, hydrolysis (lipolysis
or fat breakdown), splits the molecule of triaglycerol into glycerol and
three fatty acids. An important enzyme called hormone sensitive lipase
(HSL) is the catalyst for this reaction.

The stored fat (energy) gets released into the bloodstream as FFA's and
they are shuttled off to the muscles where the energy is needed. As blood
flow increases to the active muscles, more FFA's are delivered to the
muscles that need them.

An important enzyme called lipoprotein lipase (LPL), then helps the
FFA's get inside the mitochondria of the muscle cell, where the FFA's
can be burned for energy. If you've ever taken a biology class, then
you've probably heard of the mitochondria. This is the "cellular
powerhouse" where energy production takes place and this is where the
FFA's go to be burned for energy.

When the FFA's are released from the fat cell, the fat cell shrinks
and that's why you look leaner - because the fat cell is now smaller.
A small or "empty" fat cell is what you're after if you want the
lean, defined look.

It was once believed that the number of fat cells could not increase
after maturity, only the size of the fat cells could increase (or
decrease). We now know that fat cells can indeed increase both in size
(hypertrophy) and in number (hyperplasia) and that they are more likely
to increase in number at certain times and under certain circumstances,
such as:

1) During late childhood and early puberty
2) During pregnancy
3) During adulthood when extreme amounts of weight are gained

Some people are genetically predisposed to have more fat cells than
others and women have more fat cells than men. An infant usually has
about 5 - 6 billion fat cells. This number increases during early
childhood and puberty, and a healthy adult with normal body composition
has about 25 to 30 billion fat cells. A typical overweight adult has
around 75 billion fat cells. But in the case of severe obesity, this
number can be as high as 250 to 300 billion!

The average size (weight) of an adult fat cell is about 0.6 micrograms,
but they can vary in size from 0.2 micograms to 0.9 micrograms. An
overweight person's fat cells can be up to three times larger than a
person with ideal body composition.

Remember, body fat is basically just a reserve source of energy and
fat cells are the like the storage tanks. Unlike a gas tank in your
car which is fixed in size, however, fat cells can expand or shrink
in size depending on how "filled" they are.

Picture a balloon that is not inflated: It's tiny when not filled
with air - maybe the size of your thumb. When you blow it up with
air, it can expand 10 or 12 times it's normal size, because it
simply fills up.

That's what happens to fat cells: They start as nearly empty fat
storage "tanks" (when you are lean), and when energy intake exceeds
your needs, your fat cells "fill up" and "stretch out" like balloons
filled with jelly (not a pretty picture, is it?)

So when you get leaner, you don't actually "lose" fat cells, you
"shrink" or "empty out" fat cells.

Take-home lessons:

1. Calories count!The signal that triggers your body to release
adipose from fat cells is an energy deficit - you have to burn more
than you eat. Hormones also play a role in whether the fat is
released from the cell.

2. Cut calories conservatively. Starving yourself may cause quick
weightloss at first, but never works long term because it actually
decreases the activity of fat burning enzymes that release fat from
the cells. to avoid this "starvation mode" use exercise to BURN
THE FAT, not very low calorie crash diets.

3. Get control of your weight now. If you are gaining weight, and
especially if your weight is climbing upwards out of control, make
a decision to STOP RIGHT NOW. Your fat cells might be multiplying,
making it more difficult to burn fat in the future. NOW is the time!

4. If you've already lost weight, you must be forever diligent.
Your fat cells are not gone, they have merely "shrunk" or
"emptied out." Fitness is not a 12 week program, its a lifestyle.
To stay lean you have to eat clean and stay active

5. Genetics are only a minor factor. You may not have control over
how many fat cells you were born with, but you do control the major
factors that determine how much fat you store: lifestyle, exercise,
nutrition, mental attitude.

Genetics are not an excuse. The past is not an excuse. Your present
condition is not an excuse. You can either make excuses or get results,
but you can't do both.

So keep educating yourself about the science, read these newsletters,
take action every day and go out there and make it happen!

Tom,

I just wanted you to know that I purchased your plan last year, and
I wrote to you about 4 weeks into the program with having lost 11 lbs.
Well as of today I have lost 40 lbs, I went from a size 18 to a
size 10.

My daughter got married this past weekend and I was amazed
that I reached my goal of wearing a size 10 to her wedding.

I am a nurse, my patients all ask me what my secret is and I
tell them, to date I have 25 people who have downloaded your
burn the fat program.

The doctor I work for now when anyone asks about loosing weight
he gives them the website. He tells my patients that you should
pay me for as much as I talk about the plan.

I have even had a few patients ask me where "that other nurse" is,
they don't even recognize me.

Thank you
sincerely,

Linda Hyatt

Tom,

I read your book cover to cover and put it into
practice. I've lost more fat and added more
muscle. I credit your book with keeping me from
falling in the trap of gaining back lost weight -
with the knowlege to stay on track.

I also embraced your goal setting advice, and as a
result successfully completed two duathlons and a
triathlon this year (I learned how to swim last
year).

Although I don't intend to be a competitive body
builder, I work on many of the same techniques.

Why am I writing this note to you now? For one thing,
I sure have liked being noticed by friends and family
for my physique.

But most of all, I was changing my shirt over the weekend,
when my 11-year old daughter said, "Daddy, you have an 8-pack!"
I grinned from ear to ear. I mean honestly, how many dads
get to hear that??

Thank you!!

Tony S

P.S. My cholesterol numbers are so good now, I get a
discount on my life insurance policy.
