How to Lose Weight
The energy value of food is measured in terms of calories. We
lose weight when we spend more calories i.e. more energy
than that contained in our foods, and then we draw upon the
reserve calories stored in the form of fats - which are
responsible for the excess weight.
Therefore to lose weight: Increase the physical
activity or cut down the calories.
To lose 1lb. of weight 3700 calories have to be used up;
which means walking 60 miles or running 25 miles, swimming
for 8 hours or cycling for 14 hours.
But this will make you hungry and besides when you are
overweight by 30lbs. the heart's work is doubled and under
this condition rigorous exercise will cause a heart failure.
If you take 500 calories less per day than your
requirements, you will lose 1lb per week, if you take 1000
calories less per day then 2lbs. per week. But if your
caloric requirement is not high then you can reduce only
slowly. Just as bank will allow you to withdraw depending
upon the balance from your account - more the balance, more
the withdrawal.
Slow and Steady: But if you are ill or starve
yourself, the weight loss is very rapid because you loose
body proteins and not the fat, in that case a deficit of 450
calories reduces 1lb. of protein, but this loss is temporary
and the weight goes up again during convalescence or after
resumption of usual diet.
Therefore the logical way to reduce permanently is to adjust
the diet. But unfortunately
too many obese persons believe that dieting is akin to
starvation and therefore resort to methods other than
dieting which are not only useless but very often harmful.

avoiding the hunger pangs often associated with nutrition.
This is a program that
is designed for people who wish to embark on a safe and
long-term weight loss and maintenance program.
How Does Alfa's Program Work?
As a result of the
controlled level of carbohydrate taken over a few days, the
body will experience a shortage of glucose, the most desirable
fuel in the body. Our body will begin to turn to glycogen
store for energy. Once these stores deplete, it will start to
seek alternative fuel.
Alfa's program
contains moderate carbohydrates and protein, it helps protect
lean muscle from being metabolized into energy. Our body will
then turn to fat store for emergency supplies and convert
these fats to free fatty acids (which are smaller fat
molecules). Our liver will then convert them to ketenes. This
is effectively known as the mild stage.
Ketene are normal and
efficient source of fuel and energy for the human body.
Ketosis tends to accelerate fat loss, once the liver converts
fat to ketenes, it cannot be converted back to fat, and so it
is excreted.
