Permanent weight loss is dependent upon peak liver performance. In order to burn fat and lose weight, our liver converts fat in the form of triglycerides into energy. However, fat soluble toxins in the liver severely impede your liver function and stop fat burning. A well-designed program that supports the liver will enhance fat burning and result in permanent weight loss.
Your liver is responsible for maintaining energy balance for different systems throughout the body that require energy to do their function. Muscle uses free fatty acids, the brain uses glucose for energy. When the liver is required to make energy from stored fatty acids due to calorie restriction, toxins that are stored in fat cells along with triglycerides are circulated into the liver for processing.
The liver is like a factory that has limited resources and cannot function without proper maintenance. Toxins cause the liver to require more resources (special amino acids, polypeptides, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes) and without them, similar to a factory, the liver will shut down. In order to break the load of toxins coming into the factory the liver will halt the process of breaking down triglycerides. Circulating triglycerides are restored into fat cells. Hence, the process of burning free fatty acids is reversed due to toxic overload in the liver.
When the liver cannot process toxins fast enough, it will not convert the fat into glucose for energy consumption. At this point weight loss stops or worse, weight begins to accumulate again even on a low calorie diet.
In order to lose weight and excess body fat, a weight loss program must encourage the consumption and reduction of internal fat rather than protein. If the body consumes protein instead of fat it breaks down muscle and connective tissue resulting in weakness and emaciation. Learn More >>
