Elhashemy's Broad Spectrum Luqaimat Diet Plan ..... 17. Lipase Pumping Factor

I have discussed before the FIT "Fidgeting, Intermittent & Transient" Factor, a genuine factor in my scientific Luqaimat diet plan. By Intermittent I mean: few times spread allover the day, by Transient I mean: few minutes each time, and by Fidget I mean: moving around spontaneously allover the day in addition to occasional exercising.
We become obese when we consume more calories than we burn up (i.e. when we have a positive caloric balance). A dieting lifestyle strategy should be long-term and broad spectrum in the same time.
Regular physical exercise is of utmost importance and it should be included in all weight loss programs.
In order to increase the ability to perform "FIT" activity, I advise my patients to:
1. Sleep an extra hour daily to be more potent to do fidgeting.
2. Eat frequent Luqaimat meals to get the concept of the repeated small actions.
3. Sitting straight on the chair, the erect posture will lead to contraction of both abdominal and back muscles. This will help increasing energy expenditure and in the meantime will compress the stomach leading to lesser hunger bangs.
In 2008, Marc Hamilton, Ph.D., a professor of biomedical sciences at the University of Missouri in Columbia, found that when we are standing, an enzyme called lipase is in action, and fat will be absorbed into the muscles where it will be burned. But when we sit down, this lipase enzyme will be virtually shut off, hence most of the absorbed fat will re-circulate in the blood stream and will get stored as body fat or it can clog arteries and cause diseases such as diabetes and heart diseases.
A general observation that I have noticed is that most of my super obese patients were extensive users of computer, whether at work or at home. This indicates that they remain sitting for a prolonged time, proving such obesity – prolonged sitting link.
In my opinion, it is better to standup for 5 minutes every 30 minutes, in order to gain three benefits.
1. You will burn more calories by such repeated physical activities (up to extra 60 calories per hour).
2. You will avoid feeling monotony.
3. You will pump more Lipase enzyme when you sit and stand alternatively compared to standing all the time. Contraction of trunk muscles during the sitting and standing alternation may produce more Lipase enzyme.
I will publish more details of my innovated "FIT" and pumping Lipase factors in my upcoming diet book by the end of 2008.
