Question : MY BMI is 32kg/m2, which falls in the obese group.
Lately, I went on a strict diet where I tried to reduce my
carbohydrate intake. I also go jogging at least three times a
week. However, my weight has still not gone down. Please advise.
Answer : THE basic problem in weight gain is caused by an
abnormal biochemistry due to a diet of excess refined
carbohydrates and saturated fats and reduction in activity level
when reaching adulthood.
The normal answer to this question is usually to eat low-calorie
food, have a high-fibre diet and exercise more. Practise steady
and non-stop aerobic exercises for not less than 12-20 minutes
as they can change the biochemical level of carbohydrates and
fat metabolism and stimulate the endocrine system to burn more
fat. The types of exercises needed are those performed in
aerobic exercise classes, fast walking, jogging and cycling.
You may incorporate L-Carnitine in your daily diet. It is an
amino acid derivative that transports fatty acids into the
mitochondria (powerhouse of cells) where they are rapidly burned
and transformed into energy. Additionally, L-Carnitine prevents
accumulation of fat in various parts of body, thus reducing
excessive body fat. It also boosts exercise endurance by
increasing energy production.
For a synergistic effect, increase the intake of lecithin. The
main constituent of lecithin, phosphatidyl choline, has the
ability to break down the fatty deposits in the bloodstream.
