Burn Fat While You Sleep? Forget It
Please don't be taken in by ads that claim theit product will
cause you to burn fat instead of sugar while you sleep. Even if
the pills worked, you burn so few calories during sleep that it
is irrelevant whether you are burning sugar or fat.
Your body burns primarily fat and sugar for energy. The harder
you exercise, the more sugar your muscles use. You use the
lowest percentage of fat when you exercise and the highest
percentage when you sleep. Your body converts fat into sugar and
sugar into fat, so the crucial factor is how many calories you
burn, and not whether you burn more fat or sugar. For example,
the average 150 pound person burns about 60 calories an hour
during sleep, compared to more than 600 calories per hour while
jogging. If you burn 80 percent fat during sleep, you will burn
48 calories of fat or one fifth of an ounce. If you burn 50
percent fat when you exercise, you will burn 1.3 ounces of fat
per hour or more than six times as much.
There are many products on the market today that promise to help
you lose
weight. None will have any lasting effect unless they
get you to exercise more and eat fewer calories. If you are
serious about losing weight, learn to eat lots of vegetables,
fruits, whole grains and beans; avoid concentrated sources of
fats, especially saturated fats and partially hydrogenated oils;
and stay away from refined carbohydrates (foods made with any
type of flour, white rice or milled corn, and all added sugars).
Start a vigorous exercise program that you can continue for the
rest of your life. Forget about diet gimmicks; if it sounds too
good to be true, it probably is.
