Have you ever considered what makes fat mass increase?  What are the foods and conditions which pack on the pounds the quickest?  Understand the basics of fat cells and you can shut off their ability to grow “fatter” and mobilize your current fat stores as fuel for a leaner body.

Fat cells are literally the storage dumps for toxins and other garbage that we consume, just like a trash dump- the more garbage coming in the bigger the pile becomes.  In your case consider your fat cells to be the dump and you must start burning up the junk in the trunk while stopping the trucks from delivering more waste if you want to get leaner asap.  The wrong food choices not only make store more fat, but interfere with your ability to burn if fat in the future by confusing the operation of many fat burning mechanisms.

How Does Fat Actually Grow?

Millions of fat cells exist within your body naturally and this is not a problem, however you must take control over what these cells do if you want to live a leaner life style.  Body fat can “grow” in two ways, first by multiplying the number of fat cells and also by increasing the size of existing cells.  Learn to avoid the triggers to fat cell growth and multiplication and you are on your way to a leaner body within a mater of weeks

Text Box: Low Fat Foods Lead to a Big Body Fat Problem  The low fat craze created a huge demand for reduced fat packaged foods, and yes the food giants answered the call by creating many fat substitutes which would enable them to list lower fat and calorie amounts on everything from candy bars to your favorite breakfast pancakes.  Little did they know that these “fake” fats would activate fat storage and cause cell malfunction.  Trans fatty acids found within margarine, cooking oil and an endless number of package foods activate fat storage by damaging the normal operation of fat cells.   Nature never intended on these artificial items to be consumed and as a result they confuse the fat burning process by taking the place of beneficial essential fats which belong in the cells. Filling fat cells with useless artificial material can severely impair the ability of the body to burn fat unless action is taken to correct this imbalance. 

Text Box: “I never eat low fat foods as they interfere with the fundamental process of body fat elimination.”  The misconceptions about dietary fats are something that I address very frequently with my clients.  Picking the right dietary fats and supplements is a big key if you want to be lean and strong.” S. Mendelson pictured above Founder of Infinity Fitness & SST

 

 

 

 

 

 

At times several months of clean eating is needed to rid the system of the artificial fats which  build up within the cell and cant easily be mobilized as fuel.  Trans fats are also designed to increase the shelf life of foods and as a result they have a long () As a results your fat cells may swell creating a fatter appearance. 

We have all gone through the overnight fat swelling which takes place following a series of bad food choices.  Body fat cannot manifest this quickly by adding actual new pounds of fat however the fat cells can uptake the materials used to build more fat rather quickly   As a result you have a swollen appearance which can make fitting into your favorite pair of jeans a nightmare. 

Fat Cell Multipliers

 It is unfortunate but even the weekly indulgence in fried foods will throw a wrench into the fat burning machine for several days if not longer.  Corn oil is the worst of the bunch and being that is has a low cost it is the most common frying agent used to fry everything from French fries; fried chicken and pop corn will cause fat cells to multiply.  Logic would tell us that multiplying the number of fat cells while stuffing them with material that is easily stored as additional fat would be a bad situation unless you want to be an obese circus performer. 

 Fat Cell Expanders

The other body fat increasing process is an enlargement of the cells.  This is most commonly caused by a high saturated fat intake.  You are in trouble if all of your dietary fat intake comes from saturated sources, however some saturated fat from lean meats is fine as long as it does account for more than 50% of your total dietary fat intake per day.  Low carb dieters can get away with more saturated fat intake as the body has a greater ability to burn saturated fuel in the absence of simple sugars. 

Fat Cell Multipliers

  1. Trans fats also know as Hydrogenated fats

  2. (Margarine , low fat mayo and other low fat condiments)

  3. Processed foods and sweets

  4. Frying Oils

  5. (Corn oil, Canola oil and other polyunsaturated fats.)

Why Liposuction is NOT a Permanent Solution

Fat cell multiplication is not a popular theory amongst plastic surgeons who will gladly tell you that liposuction procedures will not only remove body fat, but the ability for it to grow back by removing fat cells.  WRONG- I have had several patients have liposuction performed and they re accumulated body fat in the exact areas where removal took place due to poor eating habits, proving that fat cell multiplication is viable. 

What You Can do to Reduce Fat Cell Size and Block Multiplication!

 Text Box: Essential Fat compounds are well publicized for their many benefits including reducing fat storage hormones, appetite, and sugar cravings.  At the same time EFAs provide vital raw materials needed for anabolic or fat burning hormone production.  Recent research now points to their unique ability to prevent both fat cell expansion and multiplication. Consider your body fat to be a hotel, you want all of the rooms (cells) to be full of the right fats so that cells can function properly supporting body fat reduction by mobilizing stored fat as fuel.  

 

 

The unique combination of ingredients found within the Alpha Omega will help you prevent the expansion of fat cells and prevent multiplication. 

All Essential Fats Were Not Created Equal

DHA and EPA also known as fish oil have become well known for numerous benefits, however many consumers are finding out that you get what you pay for in this segment of the market.  Inexpensive supplements can contain ingredients very high in toxins including mercury, lead and more.  In addition to raising dangerous toxin levels these imperfections can wipe out any benefits of use.  DHA and EPA within the Alpha Omega go through a sophisticated filtration process to eliminate toxins.

Ingredient ratios are a vital part of the success equation in addition to raw material quality.  Dr. Serrano spent 5 years researching various combinations and ratios to determine the optimal formula using live patient trials.  Cla, Gla, Lectithin, Vitamin E and olive oil all increase utilization of fish oils which is vital to your success.  “You cannot jus slap together a bunch of ingredients an expect them to work how you want them to, they can compete for absorption or interfere with each other if you do not have the right ratios”  Dr. Eric Serrano MD

Fat Blocker?  The Next best Thing!

 There is no such thing as a true fat blocker; however loading your system with efas can prevent the pit falls of cheat meals by interfering with fat storage mechanisms.  I always advise my clients to take extra Alpha Omega before and after holiday meals and whenever they plan to have cheat meals.  Depending on the goals cheat meals can be limited to one time per week or less, however they can be a good tool for muscle growth.  Feedback has been extremely positive, in addition to having a lower appetite clients report they do not have the post meal insulin coma caused from massive over eating.  Insulin is the most potent fat storing hormone, minimizing its release is a key to preventing body fat accumulation. 

Good Dietary Fat Choices

  1. Olive oil (extra virgin- dark bottle or can to protect against light damage)

  2. Nuts (mixed nuts- organic are preferred)  peanuts not included

  3. Avocados

  4. Lean meats (organic are preferred)

  5. Egg Yolks

Minimizing “fake” fat intake will greatly increase your ability to burn body fat not only by eliminating food choices which rapidly store fat, but also by preventing the negative impact artificial materials have on the fat burning process.  Make sure that you consume ample amounts of good fats to support your goals as they are a key to proper health and function.
