O.k. before you click away and start eating cheeseburgers, I want to explain why the Wall Street Journal made this claim that exercise is as bad as cheeseburgers.<\/p>\n

Imagine never having to suffer through another boring cardio exercise again using the elliptical or treadmill.<\/p>\n

And along with that, picture yourself being able to eat a juicy burger, all while enjoying the lean, sexy body you have been working so hard to achieve.<\/p>\n

This might sound like a fantasy, but it\u2019s not. In fact, I\u2019m about to drop some knowledge on how this dream can become reality.<\/p>\n

And yes, you\u2019ll find out how cheeseburgers are better than long, slow cardio exercise on the treadmill when it comes to losing fat and building an amazing body.<\/p>\n

It all starts with shocking scientific research.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The TRUTH about Cardio.<\/p>\n

Study #1<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/a>According to a study in the European Journal of Applied Physiology,<\/p>\n

People who performed intense cardio suffered from decreased T3 hormone production.<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Eur J Appl Physiol. 2003 Jan; 88(4-5):480-4.)<\/p>\n

T3 is the hormone produced by your thyroid to burn fat. When you do cardio, your body reacts to the stress by suppressing this fat burning hormone.<\/p>\n

This means your body starts gaining fat immediately. Why? Because your body needs the fat to function.<\/p>\n

But it gets worse\u2026<\/p>\n

Doing cardio also puts massive amounts of stress on your body.<\/p>\n

Study #2<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/a>According to a 2011 study in the scientific journal Psychoneuroendocrinology,<\/p>\n

Cardio increases the stress hormone cortisol.<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Skoluda, N., Dettenborn, L., et al. Elevated Hair Cortisol Concentrations in Endurance Athletes. Psychoneuroendocrinology. September 2011.)<\/p>\n

Cortisol is associated with heart disease, cancer and visceral belly fat. That\u2019s the kind of fat that hangs around your waist and gives you that disgusting pear shape.<\/p>\n

If cortisol and T3 weren\u2019t bad enough\u2026<\/p>\n\r\n

During long, slow and boring cardio \u2013 your appetite also increases.<\/p>\n

Have you ever CRAVED sugary food after you finish a long run?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure you have and it\u2019s all because your body gets very greedy for food after you finish your cardio session.<\/p>\n

In fact, your body overreacts to cardio like a dramatic teenager, causing you to eat more and more food.<\/p>\n

Even worse, you always end up eating more fat-gaining calories AFTER you work out which means that you gain more and more weight.<\/p>\n

Study #3<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/a>A 2008 study in the International Journal of Obesity found that:<\/strong><\/p>\n

After cardio exercise, the subjects end up eating 100 calories more than they just burned off.<\/p>\n

(Sonneville, K.R., et al. (2008) International Journal of Obesity. 32, S19-S27.)<\/p>\n

Researchers have even found that people on a long term cardio plan actually GAIN weight instead of losing it.<\/p>\n

A 2006 study in the International Journal of Obesity found that runners who ran the same distance or slightly more each week had LARGER waistlines at the end of the 9 year study.<\/p>\n

Scary right?<\/p>\n

Study #4<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/a>A recent article in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that:<\/p>\n

Cardio causes immense oxidative damage and a flood of free radicals to the body.<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Cakir-Atabek, H., Demir, S., Pinarbassili, R., Bunduz, N. Effects of Different Resistance Training Intensity on Indices of Oxidative Stress. Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. September 2010. 24(9), 2491-2498.)<\/p>\n

Free radicals are molecules that cause rapid aging in your body. During cardio, your body is filled with free radicals that wander around your bloodstream and attack your cells like a street thug.<\/p>\n

Not only do free radicals cause damage to all your organs\u2026doing cardio also damages your skin and makes you look older.<\/p>\n
