Owners of food industry started to manufacture food that is richer in fats, sugar and carbohydrates. Their goal was to sell delicious and cheap products that people will love. Addictive sugary foods are perfect for gaining weight. People had difficult time to reject these products. They worked less physical and developed unhealthy eating habits. The result was weight gain.

How Does Exercise Help Lose Weight?
When you exercise you burn calories. Muscles need energy to workout. Food is our energy source, more specifically carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
So when we exercise our body takes energy from eaten food that is in our blood. Carbohydrates or carbs are our main source of energy. Carbohydrates are the first fuel that muscles need when we workout. They don’t need a lot of oxygen to burn like proteins and fat do. So they are perfect for human’s activity.
Carbs are made from glycogen and glucose
Glucose is a carbohydrate (sugar) that muscles and cells use for their work and store it as glycogen. Body can store glycogen simmiliar like plants store starch. That is why we call it animal starch. Body has limited storage of carbohydrates. Carbs storage is used in proportion of the intensity of workout.
We can simplify our interpretation of this process. If we burn carbs immediately; we won’t get obese. Otherwise carbs will be stored from day to day and obesity is imminent.

In general we know next types of exercise: endurance, strength and balance.
Aerobic workout/endurance
This type of workout is also called cardio and is related to oxygen usage. Aerobic workout increases your heart rate and breathing. They are good for cardiovascular system.

Cardio vs. strength workout
What is the main difference between cardio and strength workout? The difference is that strenght workout will burn more calories. Why is this true? For example, when we run we burn calories. And when we stop running, our metabolic rate stops.
It is different with strength workout. You will burn calories after you stoped working out. Remember this, the bigger the muscles are, more calories you will burn. It is important that we develop muscles because they play crucial part in metabolic rate, bone strenght and body weight control.
Excessive exercise
People who want to lose weight fast do some extra exercises and force their bodies too much. This is not healhy way to lose fat.
Let us see an example. Mike started to run every day. He wants to lose weight and he thinks that he will achive faster results with increased running. Glucose from blood was depleted and also glycogen from cells and organs. Consequently he felt exhausted but he continue with runnig.
Body is now forced to get fuel from other sources and this is just one of dangerous facts of excessive exercise. Did you know that we have blood type exercise?
