Are you in a zoo

A baby camel asked his mother, "Mother may I ask you some questions?"Sure... but why son, is there something bothering you?"Why do camels have humps? said the baby..The mother replied, "Well son, we are desert animals, we need the humps to store water and we are known to survive without water.""Ok, then why are our legs long and our feet rounded?" She said, "Son, obviously they are meant for walking in the desert better than anyone does."Just one more question, Mother....Why our eyelashes are long?Sometimes it bothers my sight.." "My son, those long thick eyelashes are your protective cover. They help to protect your eyes from the desert sand and wind.""I see. So the hump is to store water when we are in the desert, the legs are for walking through the desert and these eyelashes protect my protect my eyes from the desert sand... Then, what are we doing in the zoo?!"

ROADLESS TRAVELED

At every point in life we have an option, to keep on doing what we are doing every day and night or an option always stares us to take the road less travelled. Majority of us live a mundane life, life revolves around fulfilling basic needs of life, food clothes and shelter. Once these needs are met, then is the time that we feel an emptiness in life and we start to ask questions to our self like ''why am I doing this? Where is my life heading to? But then we remind our self I am earning money, I get paid in end of every month, what else do u want. This is how majority of us live, following the person ahead of us. Path we take has been already taken by many before us, so we think we are safe. May be it is safe now but think of big picture see yourself, where you will be after 20 years. What would be your thoughts at the time when death is staring us? Did I live a worthwhile life, or it was just a waste. Think about it truly from your heart and you will get the answer, which road should be taken.

Mathamatics of input and output of calories

As discussed in last post,

Gain or loss of weight depends on the result of calorie balance our body is in. If we have more calories than body utilises we end up gaining weight but if calorie intake is less than what body uses we end up using some of stored calories and loss of weight results. Now question is how do we maintain this negative calorie balance ?

This can be achieved by two methods:

1. Decrease the calorie intake to less than what body needs, so that body is forced to utilise its reserve .

2. To make body burn more calories so that more calories are used and body goes in neagtive calorie balance.

Best method to lose weight is to combine both of above steps, how, which i will elaborate more in next post.

Fundamentals of weightloss

To most of us losing weight is a very complex issue, which makes no sense most of time. But losing weight is not such a complex issue , it is simple mathamatics. Food we eat is converted into calories. Calories are used by the body to meet its energy requirement. After the body uses calories , to meet its energy requirement, if surplus calories are left they are converted into fat and stored in body for future use and body ends up gaining weight. On the other hand if body falls short of calories to meet its energy requirement, it will compensate by converting some of stored fat into calories and thus body ends up losing some weight.

Thus gaining or losing weight simply depends upon difference between the input and output of calories by body. If input is more than output , body stores excess calories as fat and end up gaining weight . If input is less then output , body uses some some of calories stored as fat in body to meet total calories requirement and end up losing some weight. Simple isnt it.
