The Most Important Factors for Losing Fat and Gaining Mass

By Todd Lee M.D.

Its amazing how easy it is to be hung up on the trees and miss the forest. People are so hung up on superfoods, anti oxidants, fiber, raspberry ketones… the list goes on and on. What people are missing is the most important 2 things to body alteration: Math and Hormones.

Math

Energy is measured in calories. Math is used to measure this energy and a well constructed diet uses math to put you in a mild calorie surplus or a moderate calorie deficit. The energy of the body is adjusted with consuming and burning calories. Matter can neither be created or destroyed, so if you add more energy to your system than you burn you can change that energy into matter or you just burn more. If your hormones are right, then you build muscle with that energy. If your hormones are wrong then you store the energy as fat.

If you burn more energy than you consume then you can either destroy your structure, or feed off your energy supplies to make up the difference. If your hormones are right, you use stored energy found in fat cells to make up the difference, If your hormones are wrong then you keep your energy reserves, and tear down your muscles so your metabolism lowers to adjust to your energy intake. 

Hormones

The foods you eat, when you eat them, the combination you eat them, and your exercise routine can all be used to influence your body to have the right hormonal environment to help you accomplish your goals. In addition to these critical steps, prohormones and other supplements can help you tip the scales so your dirty bulk becomes a lean mass build, or your crash diet becomes an unveiling of your masterpiece; YOU!
