Don’t Make Weight Management So Complicated!
Hundreds–if not thousands–of articles, books, and even
medical texts have been written on the subject.
In addition, a similar amount of diet products ranging from
food to pills to “who knows what” have been put on the
market.
Frankly, dear reader, in the mind of the author.. IT’s
OVERKILL TO THE EXTREME.
Why? Because weight control is very simple and boils down
to one simple formula:
Calories/Energy/Food In (F) = Calories/Energy/Food Burned
(FB) + Calories/Energy/Food Excreted (FE) + Food Stored (FS)
Abbreviated, we’d see it like this: F = FB + FE + FS
It just doesn’t go anywhere else.. you take the calories in
and you either burn them, store them, or flush them. Nothing
else happens.
When you take more in than you burn or flush, you store
them.. and when you store them.. they store as Fat.
Doesn’t that seem simple? In essence it is.. and now here
comes the big “IF”
That’s true IF calories or F in is in the right form to be
burned!
You see, there are many variables.. and that’s why all the
other books and articles on the subject!

Let’s look at this another way.. like a car. Energy is
energy, Fuel is fuel, and in this case, we are going to take
it in as gasoline.
If we keep adding gasoline to a standing car, we start to
store it in the gas tank… until it’s full. If we keep
adding gas (F), the tank over flows (FE). But if we start
the engine, we start to burn some of if (FB). If we are
sitting there with the car at idle, we burn very little, but
if we start in motion, the faster we go (assume level
surface), the more we use. And if we have varying amounts of
weight in the car, for any given speed, we vary the amount
of the burn. If we change the spark plugs or injectors and
do a tune up; maintain tire inflation correctly, for any
given speed, we also vary the rate of the fuel burn.

And if we put a good, optimized mixture of fuel in, as
opposed to a cheap bottoms grade gasoline, we burn it at a
varying rate.. and in fact, some of it, while technically
“gasoline” or “F” is fuel being added we don’t burn it at
all.. it just goes to gas tank storage.
Are you beginning to see the picture? Simple formula, but
so many variables.
And no two cars.. or no two bodies we have … react
exactly the same way.
That’s why we have so many other books, articles, etc.
We all have many variables that are individual and specific
to each one of us.
Let’s consider what some of them are.. and what we can
control:
F That’s food and fuel. All has some caloric value, but
not all is “burnable” at the same rate, nor has the same
value. You see, the fuel we burn has essential constituents
of carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and other elements.
That which has calories alone has been referred to as empty
calories, a term I’m sure most readers have heard of. The
key in weight management is to not only limit the calories,
but to take in the calories that are carriers or compounds
of the carbs, the vitamins, the minerals and other essential
nutrients. In theory, one could consume 5000 calories a day
and virtually starve to death! And at the same time, they
would look fat because they are not burning them; they can’t
excrete them all, and so they store them. Yes, the body can
burn and use fat, but in turn it produces chemicals within
itself that become toxic and one enters what is generally
known as a state of ketosis.
Most diets concentrate all on providing one with the right
source of F intake. The commercial diet products simplify
the process, whether in some liquid form, such as a
“shake”, or in a pre packaged meal. Others such as weight
watchers teach you how to mix and blend your food.
This is all good… as far as it goes… but only deals
with the left side of the equation. But it’s a start. What
you need to know is that you only have a small part of the
equation you need to work with.
Now let’s move over to the right side.
The most important factor here is the FB, or food burned.
Like the car, there again are many variables. The first is
the level of activity or speed. Like the car at idle.. the
body at idle uses very very very little energy. If you are
idle most of the time, you simply are going to store more of
the F you take in than you are going to burn!
Negative Calorie Foods for Losing Weight No food has true “negative calories”. But, some foods require more calories to digest than they contain. Use these kinds of foods to lose weight and live healthy.
And here’s a catch 22 and “good news and bad news”.. Just
like the car can burn at different rates whether in motion
or at idle depending on circumstances.. your body composition
has something to say about the FB rate. The more fat you
have as opposed to the more muscle mass you have.. the less
you burn. Fat consumes F slowly.. in fact, it adds to
itself; Muscle consumes F more readily.
And the less you move, the more muscle resorts or morphs to
fat; the more you move (and do so in the right way), the
more fat burns and converts over to muscle.

But what about the “carubretion” of the body? That has to
do with our individual metabolism.
Some of us burn much more quickly than others due to the
unique chemistry we all possess.. and this is an area that
most of us can not control. Hormones, genes, and a whole lot
of other items that only some very specialized medical
doctors think they understand.. can effect our metabolic
rate. It’s not something the unlearned want to mess with it,
because as you increase your metabolic rate, you can do
things like raising blood pressure or decease the rate of
nutrient absorption. But for now, you need to understand
that the metabolic rate plays a key role.
One of the by products of energy burn is heat. Makes
sense..just like burning any other fuel. If your metabolism
is relatively “high”, chances are your body will feel warm a
good part of the time. And conversely.
Lastly, depending upon your viewpoint, you might believe
that God has created rather unique beings in all of us, and
given us a unique gene pattern. Yes, there are some which
are not quite “right” as in the cases of birth defects, and
the writer can’t explain that But for most of us, we have a
rather well balanced machine with a pre written inherent
basic control software program that results in a weight “set
point”. Our food cravings are set to a certain level, our
metabolism is.
If we adhere to the basic pattern we are programmed for,
which is to say a balance of F + FB, our FS will seek its
own balance. If you are eating and exercising moderately,
accept your weight, for any modification will only result in
temporary change conditions as long as you are doing the
behavior modification. After that, the equation rebalances
itself.

Having outlined these principles, we hope you now have a
grasp of the big picture.
If you have a weight management problem, now that you
understand the variables, our advice is that you do NOT try
to make any changes on your own by reading the latest book
or trying the latest diet fad. You are probably only
changing one variable, and unless you know of a way to
permanently change the behavior, your results will be
temporary at best.
