Weight loss:
Triggers for adaptation

Picture
Q: Fat is an important fuel for exercise. But how do I use it and lose weight at the same time?

A: You need to trigger the pathway that metabolizes fat - increasing our intensity of exercise to 75% of HRmax (Fat Burning Zone) but not beyond that, else we activate the carbohydrate pathway and fat metabolism is inhibited.


Picture
Q: But my trainer and doctor tells me to exercise at 85% of HRmax, should I skip this Aerobic Zone Training?
A: Absolutely not. You need to exercise BOTH zones, Aerobic for your heart and Fat Burning to trigger sustainable weight loss.
Picture
Q: How many minutes should I be exercising in the Fat Burning Zone?
A: At least 60-90 minutes per session, 1 session per week at a minimum.

What His Patients Are Saying:

Dr Lee is an outstanding cardiologist. He is very patient and explains things meticulously including diagrams. He shows genuine concern for his patients. I have recommended numerous patients to him who are all very happy that I did! I have tremendous confidence in him.

Dr. Johnny Lee is a gift from the universe. He is beyond smart; his knowledge of cardiology is simply incredible. This doctor is truly interested in finding what is truly best for each patient. His professional actions are that of a “medical-detective”. He does not practice cookie-cutter medicine. Dr. Johnny Lee is a very moral individual. I totally trust him (highly unusual for me to allow anyone to have this status in my life). He actually cares about his patients. He has compassion for his patient; but, he goes well beyond compassion and empathy, and strives to make his patient well. And he really listens to what his patient has to say. He is incredibly high-tech, but he has good old-fashion values. Dr. Lee can easily make one feel good about doctors again. By the way, with doctors, I’m hard to please and not easily impressed; but, I have to give credit where credit is due. Actually, this guy is even better than what I described.
