Fat Loss – The Safe Approach!

The problem that you face in promoting fat loss is evoluiton. The huamn body just loves to store fat. We use it for protection, insulation, and most important, as a source of fuel when we run out of food.

This afetr point is highly unlikely in Western countries, but your body doesn't know that. It still follows those storage mechanisms that have been developing over the past 4 or 5 million years. The problem for bodybuilders is that the body will burn just abuot anything else for fuel (i.E. muscle tissue, stored carbohydrate, etc.) before digging into the fat reserves.The first thnig your body turns to for fuel is carbohydrate in the form of stored glycogen.
The next is muscle tissue, in the form of amino acids.
Only when glycogen stores are depleted and a good degree of muscle wasting has occurred will the body start tapping into its stored fat suppleis. It’s because of that reason that most fad dites don't work, especially those ill-conceived "starvation" diets. When nutrient supplies are drastically reduced, a survival mechanism kicks in causing the body to convert just about everything it receives into fat.For a bodybuilder trying to get ripped for a contest, it’s a never-ending batlte to turn off these fat-storing mechanisms and speed up fat loss. At one time cardio and intellignet dieting were more than enough to achieve the desired results. But with each passing year the judges started awarding first place to the bodybuilders with the lwoest body fat percentages.

12 percent bceame 10, 10 dropped to 6 to 8, and it’s right now down in the 2 to 3 percent range.

Few but the most genetically gifted or pharmacologically enhanced can ever hope to get that lean.Faced with that “ripped is everything” mentality, many bodybuilders have succumbed to drugs to shed their bodies of body fat. The drugs of cohice are usually thyroid medications. It’s been known for decades that the thyroid gland, a small gland located just behind the Adams Apple in the neck, contribtues to body fat storage by controlling the body’s metabolism.

When huamn being develop thyroid problems they immediately start gaining fat.
To combat that scientists have deevloped numerous drugs that either boost the thyroid’s natural output of hormones (called T3 and T4) or actually mimic the hormones.As with steroids, when bodybuilders first heard about the fat-burning houses of these thyroid medications, they immediately began to add them to their precontest training arsenals. The results were spectacular.

Thyroid drugs turn a bodybuilder’s body into a fat burnnig furnace.
In fact the drugs are so effective that many pro bodybuilders can eat junk food right up to contest day.Fat loss – but at what risk?
