The Hidden
Truth About Cardio
How your daily gut busting routine may actually be preventing weight loss and pushing you
closer to death
In western cultures like ours, countries like
the U.S., UK, Australia, Canada and other European nations,what’s the first thing that anybody thinks of or tells you whenever the idea of weight loss is brought up?
You’ve got to hit the treadmill, exercise bike or the streets and burn those calories!
On the surface of it, this makes sense, right? After all, you’re doing a lot of work and you’re sweating
and breathing heavy. Surely running a few miles every day must be dissolving those unsightly LB’s like
crazy, right?
Would you be surprised to hear that this is actually wrong?
No, I’m not crazy
–
let me lay it out for you...
Yes, cardio does burn calories, it’s true. And yes, some cardio
is good for you. Light cardio promotes a
healthy heart and increases your endurance. On the other hand, though...good for you. Light cardio promotes a
healthy
heart and increases your endurance. On the other hand, though..
heavy cardio actually begins to have the opposite effects.
Before I get into why, let me give you a simple but common sense example. Imagine prehistoric Man.
-
These men and women are running around the Paleolithic world chasing down antelope, red deer,
, bison and the occasional wooly mammoth. Most of their diet comes from animal protein and
what edible plants they can scrounge.
Well, if cardio was so great for losing weight, these people would imply starve to death while running
down their food
. All that cardio would burn through their
energy
reserves faster than they could
replace them.
Yet they didn’t starve to death... why?
For one thing, a lot of heavy cardio is hard on your knees and feet. Second, it’s also worse on the heart.
Too much
cardio actually begins to add scar tissue to your heart and increases your rate of heart attack.
We didn’t realize that for a while until many scientific studies were done on the subject.
As
for losing weight, excessive cardio actually has the reverse effect
simply starve to death while running
down their food
. All that cardio would burn through their
energy
Effect and here’s why. Our bodies are
genetically designed to survive. Our body’s job is to store energy as fuel both for
its
immediate use and
in the form of fat for those times when food is scarce. In modern times, of course, food isn’t really
scarce
So this built in safety feature is rarely needed.
Additionally, and unfortunately with heavy cardio, your body also becomes anabolic.
This means that it begins to burn the most effective source of energy first
–
and that’s not fat... it’s your
muscle. Take a good look at some of these chronic long distance r
unners who compete. Many of them
are kind of stringy looking and have to pack in the carbs just to maintain their muscle mass.
You want your body to burn fat, not muscle, obviously. It’s not really about calories, as many diets and
so called fitness gurus try to make us believe.
Calories are only a means of measuring food energy.
Yes, if you want to lose weight, you must take in less calories than you consume, yet there’s so much
more to it than that.
The biggest secret to weight loss isn’t running 10
miles every day, starving yourself or even avoiding
some of your favorite carbs, believe it or not. In fact, if you’re going to lose weight properly, it’s actually
important that you do eat some of your favorite foods!
I know that sounds crazy, too
but it’s absolutely true, and I can prove it to you!
If you know how to
use your body’s natural
processes to your advantage it’s entirely possible to lose 10, 20 or even 30+pounds in a single month without starvation diets, gut wrenching cardio
anything gross! It’s true and I can show you the science to prove it!

I’ll show you a video that’ll explain how and show you the science backed by independent clinical studies to prove it.
