subject: The Psychological-physical Correlation Of Burning Off Fat Fast [print this page] The question that is always on the mind of people who are overweight is, "how can I lose weight and how do I achieve fast weight loss?" Basically, there's usually two ways you can do this. One is through crash diets and extreme workouts, and another is through more gradual exercises or training and eating healthy.
The first method would seem to many as a logical technique to achieve fat burning immediately. You exercise heavily to burn off the fats then you greatly lessen your food intake so even less fats would get into the body. Sounds reasonable enough. However, you also need to consider what they call as the mind-body connection in psychology.
For example, many people who want to reduce their weight can sometimes go on instant crash diets or sudden intense workouts. This would seem for any normal human being to be a correct method to burn fat fast. They think that the less they eat and the more they exercise, then naturally the more they would lose weight and shed those extra pounds.
This may be true to some extent, and this is what's termed as 'crash burn,' where excess fat is immediately burned. However, going back to the mind-body psychology, this method may not be the ideal way to become more fit and thin. This is because when the body is not used too little food and too much exercise, the alarms in the body would go off and tag this event as something distressful or traumatic.
Now let's look at a more ideal method to use, which is the "speedy burn" method. This would entail applying less severe and more gradual techniques of burning fats and losing weight. A good example is walking based programs designed to retrain the body, increase your metabolism, and retain your ideal weight for a long time.
With this method, the body will not become overprotective. It will more easily let go of that unwanted weight, and it will not store unnecessary fats. The metabolism doesn't slow down but instead gradually improves over time, making it much easier to attain that ideal weight and keep it.
Alternatively you can eat better by only eating healthy and nutritious food. By doing this, the body will not go into survival mode. You will more easily and speedily lose that weight in the long run by using this method, unlike in "crash-burn" methods where the body becomes very resistant to weight loss, burning fats and has slower metabolism.
