High Energy Flux is the best for fat loss

Men and women typically think of eating fewer calories or doing fat-burning cardio when they want to get rid of ugly fat, they don’t think of Energy Flux. After looking in the mirror and seeing the bulging love handles on their belt, they say things like, “I need to go on a diet” or “I need to get in shape.” That’s your first mistake when looking to shed ugly fat.

Dieting alone or exercising alone is not the solution to losing ugly fat. You must combine both to get the results you want.

Dr. John Berardi uses a term called “Energy Flux” or “G Flux” to explain the right combination of diet and exercise to shed fat and build an attractive body. In simple terms, Energy Flux is the balance between energy intake (the food you eat) and energy cost (the calories you burn).

Let’s look at different examples of Energy Flux to find out which one is best for losing fat and building a body you can be proud of…

Energy flow Example 1: eat little – exercise little

Many people live with little food and little exercise. Very little energy enters and very little energy is expended. This results in a frail, skinny and weak appearance.

Energy flow Example 2: eat a lot – do a little exercise

This Energy Flux example is by far the most common example. A lot of energy goes in and very little energy is used. The result of too much energy and too little expenditure leads to a surplus that the body stores as fat. As you probably know all too well, excess fat is not what you want if you want a lean, muscular, athletic body. (If it was, almost everyone I know would be the picture-perfect health, fitness, and fitness picture.)

Energy Flow Example 3: Eat Little – Exercise Lots

Now we are talking. This is where most people think their energy flow should be. After all, if Example #2 is the worst example, then this “mirror image” should be the best, right?

Restricting calories through diet and using energy through exercise means that more energy is used than is available. This creates an energy deficit, which means the body must burn fat for fuel. And this is great… at least at first glance.

But what happens over time is:

1) Drastically cutting calories also reduces performance.

2) Your body doesn’t have enough energy to build muscle or make other changes to improve performance or appearance.

3) Muscle is also sacrificed in the struggle to provide enough energy to perform the high volume of exercise.

So the real result of this kind of long-term energy flow is a body that literally cannibalizes itself to maintain an energy balance, leaving you looking weak, emaciated, and tired.

So what’s left?

Energy Flow Example #4: Eat Lots – Exercise Lots

If you eat a lot of healthy and nutritious food and use this energy to perform a high volume of effective exercise… what do you think happens?

Your body adapts to the higher level of activity by building muscle and making other physical changes, and the nutrients are available to make these changes. The result: an athletically muscular and fit body with an extremely low amount of body fat.

Therefore, lots of good food and plenty of exercise is the right energy balance if you want to burn fat AND expose a fit, muscular body. (This is the point, right?) As you can see, HIGH Energy Flux is the clear choice.

If you want to lose fat and the result of fat loss is a strong, lean, athletic body, then you need to create HIGH Energy Flux. It needs a lot of (good) energy going in and a lot of (good) energy going out. Don’t just go on a diet. Don’t just exercise. Combine a healthy diet and plenty of exercise for high energy flow and get the fat loss results you want!
