With the New Year just days away, it may be time to jump- start your 2. New Year's resolution: losing weight. We all have them. When I started my journey to become a Fat- Burning Machine, I realized that over a lifetime I had adopted some “truths” about food, exercise, and dieting that I believed absolutely. I have no idea of their origin or where I picked up the information, but after a lifetime of carrying them around in my head, they had become elevated to the level of irrefutable fact. But guess what? They were completely false. Nearly every notion that I had was wrong. And yet, each of them was rooted in some sort of fact. I didn’t make it up, but my interpretation or application was wrong. I’M THE PROBLEM. I always thought it was my fault that I was overweight. I just couldn’t control my eating. The formula was straightforward: I needed to go on a diet (any diet) and stick with it. Then my weight problem would be solved. In my mind, the diets were all good. I was the bad one. I was the problem, not the diet. I had no willpower. I was a fat- storing machine. It wasn’t willpower. It was my body makeup. My body chemistry was set up in such a way that each diet was just making me fatter by making me more insulin resistant. If I was losing weight, it was because I was eating less in the beginning. But in reality, many of these diets were subversively teaching my body to optimize fat storing, rather than fat burning. Sure, I could have gone one by one, addressing my high cholesterol, my high blood sugar, my ever- expanding waist—but they were part of a package. The underlying dynamics that caused my. A GOOD WORKOUT IS A SWEAT STORM. I had this image that fitness for people like me was a boot camp drill sergeant screaming at me, shaming me and making me feel bad about myself, making me huff and puff. I felt inadequate enough about being overweight; did I really need some guy with 7 percent body fat telling me I could do better? That’s the real shame. Many years go, during a summer internship in New York, my boss heard that I was bothered by the weight I’d gained in college and how out of shape I was. He volunteered to be my trainer. I was young, so this didn’t seem weird to me at the time. I thought of it as a good way to spend more time with the boss, so I agreed. He took me to his fancy gym, and as soon as we got there, he put me on the scale. I was mortified to see what I weighed, and embarrassed that he knew as well. He spent the next few weeks making me run on the treadmill until I couldn’t stop sweating. It was truly gross. Afterward, he would take me to Papaya King, the local juice place in New York, and buy me a “healthy” banana shake to recover. I would burn off 3. Not good, but at the time I had no idea the sabotage that was happening. Needless to say, I gained weight that summer. My boss—maybe to save face—assured me it was muscle. I know better now. I never performed well.
The idea of being tortured for even fifteen minutes, let alone half an hour, was just so unappealing. Constant agony, out of breath, falling behind everyone, drenched. Why would I do that? Exercise and being fit are all about personal choices. I found that I liked to exercise outdoors with goals in mind, and that’s why I started entering races. I liked to do a variety of sports, so sometimes I swam, sometimes I ran, other times I would bike and in the winters even ski. During one summer, I decided to keep fit by carrying my golf bag on my shoulder and walking eighteen holes. Not the other way around. What did I like to do? What gave me pleasure? What was I good at? I had to enjoy fitness to keep at it. So simple, yet so true. The worst part is that it would have little to no positive impact. Burning fat actually requires mixing it up and igniting. Longer duration and less intense exercise utilizes a greater percentage. The point is that both have a role. Just sweating isn’t the answer. YOU HAVE TO BE HUNGRY TO LOSE WEIGHT. If my stomach was roaring and my mind was consumed with cravings for the food I couldn’t have, I was doing well. If I was dreaming of the next time I would eat, I was doing well. I was conditioned to believe that you couldn’t lose weight unless you could feel the emptiness in your stomach. Feeling full was a recipe for guilt. It probably meant you were cheating. Being hungry was a badge of honor that I proudly wore on my chest. I loved to skip breakfast or “work through lunch.” But I could always feel it, and by the time I got to the next meal, I was ravenous. Like a killer whale going through a school of fish, I would eat everything I could as fast as I could. Denying myself food just set me up to overeat—and usually with the wrong foods. When you’re starving, you don’t take the time to make a nice salad! Being hungry is exactly the wrong feeling for sustainable weight loss and a healthy lifestyle. It is what I eat that is key. I could not eat something that would trigger my. My morning had to begin with a great breakfast or I would sabotage the rest of the day. I started to plan fat- burning snacks. Frequent meals keep my hormones at a stable level and my Fat- Burning Machine running. Exercise combined with the wrong food choices causes hunger, stunts insulin release, and encourages fat storage. HEALTHY FOOD ISN’T YUMMY. It was merely a rationalization of why I ate some foods and didn’t eat others. And yet, so many people believe the same thing. I know that I am not alone. Truthfully, what is more disgusting than potatoes, fried in oil with salt? But I loved them. Sometimes, I would order a club sandwich and double fries. I couldn’t get enough, and the more I ate, the more I wanted. It seemed like it was balancing everything out. I was sabotaging myself every night. I literally had to train my palate to like fresh vegetables. By eating them and preparing them in ways that were enjoyable. At first, I only liked carrots. To the point that I turned orange I ate so many. Gradually I became more. Brussels sprouts. Now I like them. FRUIT IS NATURAL, SO IT MUST BE GOOD FOR YOU. All types of fruit—apples, oranges, grapes, watermelon, cantaloupe, bananas, strawberries. In the summer, my favorite meal was a huge fruit salad. I would buy whole watermelons, chop them up, and. Even if it is sweet, the sugar in fruit is natural, not processed. God- given from the tree or the vine, right? I thought I should be able to eat it in unlimited quantities. After a workout, I would love to have a juicy red apple or two (or three). It would taste so good, quench my thirst, and help me recover. When I was training, I was told to eat bananas to prevent cramping and to facilitate recovery. Little did I know that bananas were loaded with sugar and. The sugar levels in fruit were triggering my fat- storing machine. While some fruits have less sugar than others, eating fruit made me want more fruit. I’m not saying that you have to eliminate fruit. It has its place. But it’s. not the abundant cornucopia we think it is. WEIGHT LIFTING WILL MAKE YOU BULKY AND HEAVY. I have naturally broad shoulders and a barrel chest. When I gain weight, one of the first places I see it is in my chest. Fear of bulking up made me very reluctant to try any sort of weight lifting. All of those weights! It was intimidating, to say the least. I cringed listening to the grunting and groaning that people made when they were lifting. I hated the slamming noise that the weights made. It seemed very scary for me. I would need a trainer to show me the ins and outs, and I could only picture an image of the trainer barking at me. The problem was, I just couldn’t really figure out how it fit into my life and therefore was able to dismiss it. I was able to reshape my body with weights. Strength training builds muscle and improves quality of life. I also found out that muscle is more metabolically active than fat. Fat- Burning Machines run more efficiently with strong muscles, particularly a strong lower body. I never really liked doing lunges and squats, but they work long after my workout is finished—even when I’m sleeping! I needed to combine the two. Doing too much of one or the other wouldn’t work. Aerobic training works to improve the cardiovascular (heart, blood vessels) and the pulmonary (lungs) systems. Strength training improves muscular strength, balance, and coordination. Strength training is important to bone density, so that I don’t become feeble and brittle. BITES, LICKS, AND TASTES DON’T COUNT. Some of the things that I ate were worthy of a taste—a delicious piece of chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream, hot bread fresh out of the oven, guacamole with crisp, salty nacho chips. It didn’t really matter if the food was good or not. I would eat indiscriminately. I was of the mind- set that it was easier to eat it off their plate than throw it away. I justified it by saying it was “just a taste.”. I thought, what was the big deal? Those bites, licks, and tastes were too small to make a difference or have impact. After all, I wasn’t eating the whole plate—I was just nibbling or sampling. There is a big difference. Notably, I never wanted to have a taste of healthy foods. Greek yogurt. My tastes always involved something sweet or high in carbohydrates. Again, it came back to my palate and brain being impulsive for those types of foods. The stores aren’t stupid—they know what they are doing. They are spiking your insulin to make you hungry so you will buy more. They were never satisfying. I always wanted more, and they destabilized my hormones. They sabotaged all of my good work. No matter how balanced I had eaten the rest of the day, it could all be undone by one bite (that was never really one bite anyway). A HEALTHY DIET MEANS AVOIDING FAT. I started buying nonfat foods. I stopped eating cheese. I found the fat- free versions of mayonnaise, yogurt, and cottage cheese. If it said “fat- free,” I was in. Even avocados were to be avoided. For my salads, only balsamic vinegar would do.
