Day 2: Good Read


I picked out this book from the library about a week ago and have just finished reading it. This book actually motivates and teaches me to live a healthier life to get rid of yellow fats and to increase the amount of brown fats instead. 

What are brown fats and yellow fats?
To simplify the definition, brown fats are "healthy fats" and yellow fats are the squishy fats that you see under the chicken skin which is what you do not want to have.

Essentially, to increase the amount of brown fats and to reduce the yellow fats is to exercise and to eat right which is typically what every doctor is saying. Also, to prevent the body from storing the food you eat as unhealthy fats, eat complex carbohydrate and to not eat less than what you should. The body should not go into a "starvation mode" as this will cause the body to think that there may be no food for sometime and thus the food that you eat will go into fat storage. One way to prevent this as the book recommends, is to eat small meals frequently. So in a day, you will have to eat about 6 meals so that the rate of metabolism can be kept high.

In this book, it also includes examples of how each meal should look like and also some simple exercises to tone the body. I am definitely going to try some of their exercises and perhaps recommend a few of their exercises in future posts.

Do go pick up this book to read. Is a nice book to help you understand your body more.

Bye!
