If
you’ve never heard of G-flux, here’s a simple formula for increasing
it: Eat more; exercise more. Sounds pretty simple, but let’s take a
deeper look.
Exercise increases metabolism. Eating increases
metabolism. The trick is learning to balance the two so that you still
create a negative calorie balance.
Allow me to explain.
Sedentary
people (folks who just sit around and don’t exercise) have painfully
slow metabolisms. This is due to many hormonal factors resulting from a
lack of exercise along with the fact that these individuals never
really “teach” their body to burn additional calories.
Likewise,
chronic dieters share the same plight. When you chronically under-eat,
metabolism shuts down as a starvation protection mechanism and the
oh-so-slow metabolism blues start a-playin’.
On the contrary,
exercise and eating are metabolism boosters. That being said, it’s not
very likely that eating more by itself will ever do wonders for your fat
loss goals.
But when you combine eating more with a high caloric burn via exercise you get the best of both worlds.
For
example, let’s say your basal metabolic rate allows you to burn 2000
calories a day. Knowing this, you go on a diet and begin eating 1500
calories a day, putting you 500 calories in the hole. Now, on the
surface a 500 calorie deficit would appear to be a good thing, but
unfortunately you’ve done your metabolism NO favors here. In fact,
under-eating only decreases metabolism with each passing day as you've
experienced.
So, “dieting” as we know it is not the method of
choice for creating a calorie deficit, especially when trying to repair
your metabolism.
Now let’s take a similar scenario. You burn
2000 calories a day, but instead of “dieting” you start eating 300
calories MORE each day and you also burn 800 extra calories through
exercise. The result? The SAME 500 calorie deficit (2800 calories
burned, 2300 calories consumed) but you do so while increasing your
metabolism through eating and exercising more.
That’s the power of G-flux. Apply the concept and watch your metabolism skyrocket.
