Trivia
1. Drinking a gallon of water will help you burn fat. True or False? (False)
Answer: Just drinking water will not help you burn fat. On the other hand, if you drink cold water, your metabolism will be raised, which will aide in fat burning. You see, the body can't use the water because it's cold. It has to heat the water to use it. This burns more calories.
2. Eating eight times a day will make you fat. True or False? (False)
Meal frequency will help you regulate your blood sugar and program your metabolism to burn calories more efficiently.
3. Carbohydrates are fattening. True or False? (False)
Carbohydrates are just another source of fuel for the body. If you eat more than your body can burn, the excess will be stored a body fat.
4. If you skip breakfast, 80% what you eat for lunch will be stored as fat. True or False? (True)
After a long fast, anywhere from 6-15 hours, the body automatically goes into a survival mode. Once you decide to feed the body, it will begin to store what is vital for survival and this is FAT!
5. The bulk of your cardiovascular exercise should be done at the start of your training session. True or False? (False)
Cardio is aerobic and is fueled by glycogen (sugar) and fat. The odds of you tapping into the fat stores are slim. Now, weight training is anaerobic and is fueled exclusively by glycogen. By doing cardio first, you use most or all of your glycogen. Therefore, the body is forced to break down muscle tissue to make more glycogen so you can complete your training session. Not good!
6. There is just as much sugar in a 12oz glass of orange juice, then there is in a 12oz can of Coke. True or False? (True)
Just about 12 tablespoons in each.
7. In reference to your stomach muscles, you have an “eight-pack” not a “six-pack”. True or False? (True)
Although it’s not that visible, there are eight sections to the abdominal wall. If you look at any anatomy chart, you will discover this truth.
