  • The downside of quick fat loss

    Vegan Bodybuilding by Vegan Bodybuilding
    OK we all know that losing fat is a good thing. But let's look at the
    way we lose it. On the internet these days we can see all these "lose
    20 pounds in 2 weeks" ultraspeed fat loss plans etc etc. I've always
    argued that slow weight loss is the ideal goal, why... because as you
    lose weight you learn about what certain foods do to your body, you
    relearn how to eat properly. If you do find some miracle system that
    does work, say a heavy training schedule & dietary system you go on
    for month, & you achieve your goals, then what? You can't stay on an
    ultra-gruelling diet & training plan forever, you'll overtrain, get
    sick & not do so well at all, but what do you eat, have you learnt to
    pre-pack food to take along to places where you might not find healthy
    choices, have you learnt that you might be ok to eat bread AM, but in
    the evening maybe it bloats you a bit & you tend to add more fat?
    Have you learnt to prepare a selection of healthy meals over several
    months & learnt to appreciate the new textures & flavours
    available...basically you haven't got the support system in place to
    keep the weight off, you've got no idea what to eat, how to train &
    what to do to keep that weight off. A slower introduction to a diet
    allows you to learn as you go along, so you can slowly increase the
    good & decrease the bad in your diet, so by the time you reach your
    goal you will have all the tools already in place to keep to that fat
    level, it will already be habit! .... That was my main argument for a
    slow fat loss, rather than a quick fat loss program (a well as the
    fact that often quick 'fat loss' involves lean muscle loss as well in
    many cases). But I have come across another rather interesting reason
    to keep fat loss slow & that is 'organochlorines'. Organochlorines
    are fat soluble products that are toxic to humans, we all ingest them.
    As the body doesn't like them floating about they are either excreted
    or stored in fat, strangely the preferred choice appears to be storing
    in fat, so obviously someone with more fat stores more of these toxic
    substances. Now suppose you lose a lot of fat, very quickly? Yep, a
    lot of these toxins are simply dumped into the body & you can suffer
    thyroid problems, skin problems, organ problems etc etc, all the
    things that make dieting & reaching & maintaining your goals harder.
    By dieting more slowly you actually release these chemicals at a
    manageable rate, so you will not get the extreme toxicity effects that
    can be associated with quick fat loss systems. I'll put the research
    below for you to look at for yourself, I'll also put up a related
    piece of research about athletes, lean sedentary people & fat peoples
    organochlorine levels that shows that athletes have lower levels than
    either lean sedentary or fat people (lean sedentary have less than fat
    people, but not as low levels as athletes).
    Hopefully those of you who's goals involve fat loss who are slowly
    slimming down can take some comfort in the fact that you're doing
    things the best way for overall health.

    Organochlorines are fat-soluble chemical compounds resistant to
    degradation, so they are stored in the adipose tissue of practically
    every organism on the planet, including humans. Accumulation of these
    compounds in the body seems to be related to fat mass, obese
    individuals having a higher plasma organochlorine concentration than
    lean subjects. During body weight loss, lipid mobilization and a
    decrease in fat mass result in increased concentrations of
    organochlorines in plasma and adipose tissue. Organochlorines may have
    adverse health effects. For example, they have been associated with

  • Endurance Vs weights-best cholesterol remover?

    Vegan Bodybuilding by Vegan Bodybuilding
    OK there are many reasons for doing either strength training with weights & endurance training. Here's a study comparing the effects on 'bad' cholesterol when using the same amount of energy doing either endurance or resistance training.
    First have a think, then read on which would you suspect...?
    To tell the truth I thought endurance would win this one, makes sense, you use fat doing endurance, right? You use carbs doing weights, endurance would have been my guess..but as you may suspect by now I was wrong!
    Here's the quick answer, I'll put the whole study below:
    Resistance training reduced 'bad' cholesterol in the blood & speeded up 'bad' cholesterol removal from the blood.
    Endurance training did..nothing! That's right nothing!!!
    It appears you may use fat doing endurance work, but it may not be the bad cholesterol. Now there's a shocker for you. Weights may not remove much fat from the body, but it appears to clear up the old arteries better than aerobics!
    Of course this is only one study, but if you have a cholesterol issue I'd consider VERY seriously beginning a weight training program (obviously be sensible here, if you're new to training start very, very light, using short sessions & work up as your fitness improves-& consult your doctor before you do any exercise plan)

    Acute exercise-induced changes in basal VLDL-triglyceride kinetics leading to hypotriglyceridemia manifest more readily after resistance than endurance exercise.

    Resistance training is considered less effective than endurance training in lowering plasma triglyceride (TG) concentrations. Acutely, however, a single bout of strenuous exercise, whether endurance or resistance, increases the efficiency of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL)-TG removal from the circulation and leads to hypotriglyceridemia. The comparative effects of these two types of exercise on VLDL-TG metabolism are not known. We therefore examined basal VLDL-TG kinetics by using stable isotope labeled tracers in 7 healthy, non-obese, untrained young men in the post-absorptive state, the morning after a single 90-min bout of either low-intensity endurance exercise (~30% of peak oxygen consumption) or high-intensity resistance exercise (3 sets of 10 repetitions for 12 exercises at 80% of peak torque production), matched for total energy expenditure (~400 kcal), or an equivalent period of rest on the preceding afternoon. Compared with rest, resistance exercise lowered fasting plasma VLDL-TG concentration by -28+/-10% (P=0.034), increased VLDL-TG plasma clearance rate by 30+/-8% (P=0.003), and shortened the mean residence time (MRT) of VLDL-TG in the circulation by -36+/-11 min (P=0.016), whereas endurance exercise had no effect (all P>0.05). Basal VLDL-TG plasma clearance rate was greater (P=0.003) and VLDL-TG MRT was shorter (P=0.012) the morning after resistance than endurance exercise. We conclude that, for the same total energy expenditure, resistance exercise is more potent than endurance exercise in eliciting changes in VLDL-TG metabolism that have been linked with hypotriglyceridemia, and should thus be considered as an alternative to or in addition to endurance exercise for the control of plasma TG concentrations.
