The danger of any weight loss program is that you may lose more muscles than fats. This is not healthy at all because when you lose muscles, your metabolism will slow down and your body will in turn retain more fats.

So how do you know if you are burning more muscles than fats? There is a simple and inexpensive way to find out.

Firstly, you must know that whenever your body burn fats for energy, a certain chemical call ketones are released. “When your body releases ketones, it is chemical evidence that you’re consuming your own stored fat.” said the famous MD Dr Atkins.

You want your body to burn the food you have eaten and even more so if you are obese, your body fat for energy and not your muscles.

One simple yet inexpensive way of knowing whether you are burning your body fat or muscles is to test for the production of ketones. If you are releasing ketones, you are burning fats instead of your muscles. If you are you are on a weight loss program and you are not producing ketones, then your program is not effective because you are burning other energy sources such as carbs or your own muscles. That means your weight loss program is virtually ineffective and can even be dangerous.

Ketones strips to test for ketones in your urine are readily available in most pharmacies. These strips are usually used by diabetics but are also a wonderful tool to check how effective your weight loss program is.

If you are losing weight and do not include exercises and a healthy diet in your weight loss program or you are actually on a severe caloric restriction diet, chances are very high that you may be burning your muscles for energy instead of your fats. Losing too much muscle is dangerous and may be fatal. Do know that your heart is a muscle. Does this statement give you warning bells?

Burn Calories

No longer do you have to spend hours and hours in the gym to lose body fat. The truth about losing body fat has nothing to do with your ability to go to the gym. In fact, it has every thing to do with finding the right diet.

Understand this about going to the gym. This is a good thing to incorperate with your diet. Remember one thing. You must diet to see the results of your exercising. You do not need to exercise to see the results of your diet.

Dieting and losing body fat no longer means you have to sacrifice flavor. More and more food processers are making weight loss alot easier. Diets are no longer about being strict on what you eat and living on salads.

Dieting is all about calorie intake. Eat less calories than your body burns. All you need to do is understand how to keep your calories down and you will lose weight fast. There are so many healthy ways to keep your calories down. Dont feel like you have to sacrife foods. Pick one day a week and reward your self with a high calorie meal. This will actually help you. To add a high calorie meal once a week will shock your body and cause it to help burn more calories. Then the next day when you drop back to low calorie, your body will still burn as if it was taking in alot of calories. This is when you start to burn more fat.

Using the right diet will teach you two very important things. First you will learn what foods to eat. Believe it or not, there are actually some foods out there that will increase your ability to lose body fat. The second thing you will learn is when to eat. This is the most important thing to learn. Learning this will allow you to eat all the foods that normally you would not be able to. This is how you will be able to lose body fat and not sacrifice all the foods you love.

Dont be affraid to eat. The days of 3 square meals are over. Eat 5 to 6 times a day. Eat less per meal but eat more meals. This will keep your body burning calories and fat all day.

They next thing you must do to esure that you lose body fat is drink alot of water. I cant stress this enough. Water is very important. Stay away from sodas and tea. Even though diets have no calories, they still are not great to have. Soda and tea will stall you fat burn. Water will not and you must take in about half your body weight in ounces of water.

Remember that there are good calories and bad calories. There is alot of help out there to teach you which calories are good and which ones are bad. You want to make sure not to take in to many “empty calories”.

You will see that it is easy to lose weght fast. More importantly you will see how easy it will be to keep the wieght off. After all, we not only want to lose weight but we want to make sure it never comes back!

All around us we see different protein supplement advertisements. I feel so bad to see huge amounts of false conceptions about the protein supplementation. If you’ve been trying to get in shape and build muscles for a while, you surely realized that all protein sources are not the same in terms of enhancing muscle mass growth..

The point I’m making here is simple. If you are after the best possible results, you will be pleased to learn than no other protein supplement is shown in research to provide more benefits to athletes than whey isolate. The latest research on whey reveals why whey isolate provides incredible edge for optimizing results from training. Best results are coming from using best muscle building materials.

Recent research showed that formulation of whey isolate protein is tailor-made to speed the muscle growth process during training but in same time to promote healthy immune function during this period of metabolic stress. High levels of amino acids stimulate massive increases in muscle protein synthesis rates as results of intense resistance training. Increasing muscle protein synthesis rates is the key to greater strength and bigger muscles.

However, the dose and composition of the amino acids determine the degree of muscle growth stimulation.

And here comes something what you will be pleased to learn. Hydrolyzed whey isolates possess the absorption kinetics and the amino acid profile that is considered by scientists to be best for muscle growth stimulation. 8 amino acids are effective for stimulating muscle growth.

However, the branch chain amino acids (BCAAs) are considered the most powerful. Particularly, leucine is now understood to be of tremendous importance for increasing lean muscle mass. Leucine plays a key role in igniting the pathways that accelerate protein synthesis and muscle growth. A rich supply of leucine to muscle after training provides greater stimulation of protein synthesis, thus promoting faster recovery and speeding the actual muscle growth process.

Digestion and absorption of a protein are critical to producing high levels of amino acids in the blood to stimulate the muscle growth process. Hydrolyzed, short chain (oligopeptides) whey isolates are shown to be absorbed faster and in greater amounts compared to other proteins. I hope you know that dieting and intense exercise cause an undesirable competition between muscle and the immune system for a limited amount of glutathione.

Low glutathione levels correlate with poor exercise performance. Supplementation with hydrolyzed whey isolate provides a rich source of cysteine that boosts glutathione concentrations and helps you obtain better results from exercise. So whatever protein supplement you are using I think the best would be if you check on this few points. If you start using any whey isolate protein and you apply proven muscle building nutrition and system, you will advance very, very fast. I have my own experience but also so many testimonials of other people reconfirming this.

What about the fat loss? This is generally unknown but may be of great use too. A high protein intake is most important for effective fat loss results. While protein is the most satiating macronutrient, recent research shows that whey may be the most effective form of protein to consume during periods of calorie restriction.

Supplementation with whey provides a powerful appetite-suppressive effect. Clinical trials reveal that people who consume whey before a meal are more satisfied from consuming less food. For people that are restricting their calorie intake to lose body fat, whey isolate supplementation curbs the appetite and satisfies hunger while consuming fewer calories. Supplementation with whey isolate will help control appetite and make dieting much easier.

It is clear from research that no other protein supplement is shown to provide more benefits to athletes than whey isolate. In bodybuilders, whey isolate is shown in research to build slabs of healthy, strong, lean muscle
