03-30-2011 What is fact?

We get the idea more or less that reducing calories removes weight. This is a fact. Now we need to understand that a certain number of calories does not equal fat loss. We can actually reduce body weight and be increasing the fat at the same time!!!  This is a fact. You can actually gain weight and burn off fat. This is a fact. You can actually lose weight and gain muscle. This is a fact. How does all this equate? Well, we need to have a plan. All commercial airlines have a flight plan for their $100,000,000.00 dollar aircraft. If they didn’t first of all they would not be given clearance to fly. Second they would not be able to get insurance and then they would go broke really quick. Starting off one would need to establish what they want from their bodies. In order to decide what we want, we need to analyze or at the very least know our bodies’ needs. How active are we? What kinds of things do we want to do in the future? There might be a billion questions here. If our motive is for a quick fix and lots of complements (for a short time) then we really don’t want to sacrifice old habits for new ones. If we don’t want to do the math, then again we shouldn’t look at what macro-nutrients have to do with change either. However and whenever we want change, we will need to make sacrifices. That is a fact.
