In the study, a group of animals was made obese on a diet made up of 45 percent fat. After 80 days, they weighed 20 percent more than a group of animals fed a normal diet of 11 percent fat. Then the obese animals were given a shot of a leptin-producing gene into the paraventricular nucleus. Fifty-six days later, those that received the leptin gene were now only 3 percent heavier than they were when the experiment began.

Kalra thinks that in the fat rats there’s some kind of insufficiency of leptin in the brain areas where leptin normally works -- just as there is in 95 percent of dieters. There's no magic pill for easy weight loss, but exercise and good nutrition are as reliable as ever, Kalra says. "It's important to emphasize both."

A tök sok hasznos tulajdonsága mellett
- egészséges is,
- vizelethajtó,
- gyulladáscsökkentő erővel bír, ezenfelül
- vitaminokat is tartalmaz. A tökmag igen
- gazdag tápanyagokban,
- zsírjai igen értékesek, merthogy 80 százalékban telítetlen növényi zsírsavakat tartalmaz, koleszterinmentesek, főként kétszeresen és többszörösen telítetlen zsírsavakban gazdagok. A telítetlen zsírsavak bizonyítottan lassítják az érelmeszesedést, azaz ideális táplálék! A tökmag tápanyagai révén a prosztata-bántalmak kezelésében is kiemelkedő jelentőséggel bír.

Gyógyászati jelentősége egyre növekszik. Igen sok szelén is van a magokban, amely a gyulladásos folyamatok megakadályozásában (antioxidáns) játszik fontos szerepet. Agyműködést serkentő, idegrendszerre, prosztatára ható jótékony hatása miatt egyre több készítményben találkozhatunk vele. Az enyhén pörkölt, kissé sózott mag nemcsak élvezeti cikk, hanem fokozza a szervezet ellenálló képességét és a szellemi teljesítőképességet is.

After you have found maintenance, simply reduce your calories by 200. Our goal is to have you eating as much as possible while still losing fat and retaining muscle. I don’t want you to eat as little as possible because that will only slow the rate of your metabolism and force you to burn muscle for energy. This approach will destroy all chances for a firm body because of muscle loss.

The first week you may lose four to 6 pounds of water. After the first week you should only lose up to 1.5 pounds per week. The goal is to preserve muscle and make your body a metabolic inferno. If you’re not losing up to 1.5 pounds per week (it will fluctuate week to week), then reduce calories by another 100. Then monitor your progress after one week.

I realize four to six meals sounds like a lot but you must keep in mind that the body is always seeking to store fat. If you go long periods without eating (more than five hours), your body begins to sense an emergency and will choose to hold onto stored body fat. In fact, your body would prefer to hold onto fat to accomplish its No. 1 goal of keeping you alive in case of a future famine.

It’s unlikely that you’ll get a tight and lean body by consuming 80 percent of your calories from carbohydrates. Ratios can vary a bit but consuming more than 55 percent of your calories from carbohydrates is not ideal for fat loss. Many people do well on extremely low-carbohydrate plans and others on more moderate-carbohydrate intake.

Nothing is as important as the fuel you put in your body. You’ll need to control blood sugar levels to lose body fat and this is best accomplished by consuming four to six small meals per day

if you aren’t motivated by traditional methods of exercise, then you have to find an activity that is enjoyable to you. Two to three days per week will be just enough to burn calories and get you on the right track.

Once you’ve followed this plan for about two to three months, your energy level will increase and you may find that you begin adding strength training and other forms of exercise to your schedule.

Remember childhood? If exercise is a chore, then ask yourself what would be fun. Ask a kid what he/she likes to do for exercise and you’ll get “something fun” as the answer. If the thought of weight training and power walking turns you off, then search for aerobic videos, take a belly-dancing class, try Pilates or Power Yoga, join a walking club and meet new friends. Think like a kid again and just have fun..

12. Lift heavy to build muscle. Put down the pink 1-pound dumbbells and push some iron. Don’t worry, you won’t get “too big.” What you’ll get is a fat burning machine.
