More suggestions on weight reduction and flab loss

Biking and health

One of our aims in cycling is having fit and slim physique.  I have noticed though that 1/2 of the cyclists in our group have large belly.  Large belly means there is fat in:   lungs, heart and liver.  And it does not  help at all in physical fitness and health.  These fats can lead to:  heart disease, and fatty liver.  We can have healthy looking bellies and even 6 pack abs by:

l. Planking exercises -  you assume push up position for 16 counts  say 6 reps.   You try having  that position with one arm.  Then raise one leg (can you try both legs)  Then raise one leg and diagonally the other arm.  Alternately. Planking exercises

2.  Ghrerlin leptin -  You can control the leptin by:   eating 3 hours before meal;   limiting each meal to 500 calories (normal meal maybe l,000 to l,500 calories);   graze dont feast. Eat more foods in natural form.  Avoid diet rich in sugar and artificial sweeteners. Take leptin preparations  Leptin and ghrelin role in weight loss

3.  Use of metformin and corosolic acid (from banaba) for weight loss.  Taking metformin or corosolic acid  reduces insulin which causes ghrelin level to go up.  Ghrelin we know cause fat metabolism and loss of appetite. Dr Mirkin on use of gluchophage for weight loss (and PCOS).   
You do not have to buy expensive xenecal.  Our family physician prescribed this to my overweight daughter;  I even heard this from a CEO of a big hospital.

Why dont you try, reduce weight and be healthier

Too much fruitcake - counter with leptin

To those with large tummy, please read this for better riding and longer life.

One of the most important hormone that affects our fats and metabolism is leptin.  If you have much fat, the leptin goes up.  High leptin level metabolizes fats and decreases appetite. Get that relationship? (Low leptin level does not metabolize fat and increases appetite.

If you diet,  your leptin level goes down and what happens, you go on an eating binge and thats the end of dieting.

If you have your fat removed via liposuction, your leptin level goes down, and your appetite goes up, you do not metabolize fat and the fat comes back and you end up in square one.

Some cheat:

l.  Occasionally fast;

2.  Sleep early regularly (lack of sleep decreases leptin level:   naturally the body has to get back what it lost from lack of sleep;  thus you have to eat more)

3.  Over eat occasionally (this will cause leptin level to go up;

4.  Add carbs say 30 to 40 grams before another binge (to rev up leptin level a bit)

Or you can buy the leptin preparation being pitched.

N.B - sharks are rich source of leptin.  (Have you seen a fat shark?)

"Be the best, do your best, expect the best"

Only very few of Class 72 are fit

Biking and health

We had two succeeding get together for the 40th year of AdeMU class 72.  Several have passed away all ready.  Of the 60 or 70 who attended, I noticed that only several handful had waists below 40 inches and we know that they are walking time bombs.  Those who were slim were Bobby, Opap, Frankie, Gigi,  Tenchie B.  That is merely 10%

 So obesity is disease for seniors?

How come they could not keep of the flabs?

Exercise:  crunch, planking biking, chinning bar are good for abs.

To reduce further:   periodic fasting, eating low glycemic index food, and leptin
