What Happens Inside Your Body When You Burn Fat
● Burn Fat Burner ●
your body is a complex biological
machine that has to go through a series
of steps and changes in order to be able
to burn fat this in-depth process
revolves around certain hormones enzymes
and signaling pathways that all need to
be working properly to efficiently burn
fat and unfortunately the more fat you
have the more likely it is that your
hormones will be working against you
making fat loss significantly harder so
by understanding how fat loss works it
can help you identify where things might
be going wrong or what areas you can
improve which will help you make the
entire process much easier that's why
today I want to go over the four main
steps that your body has to go through
in order to actually burn fat so step
number one is of course to have your
body receive the signal that it needs to
burn stored fat for fuel to begin with
and the first thing you need to
understand is that your body burns fat
all day long but burning fat is not the
same thing as actually losing fat losing
fat depends in the total balance between
the amount of fat that you're burning
and storing over time and storing fat is
something that your body actually does
all the time as well even while you're
in a calorie deficit your body will
switch back and forth between storing
fat and burning fat so to actually lose
fat you have to keep fat oxidation or
fat burning at a higher rate than fat
storage to stimulate this kind of
negative energy balance and to kickstart
fat loss you have to be in a calorie
deficit there are a few exceptions for
example if you're highly out of shape or
you use steroids you may be able to lose
fat while eating at a calorie
maintenance or even in a slight surplus
however in almost all regular situations
you'll have to be in a calorie deficit
to start this process this is because
your body fat functions as an energy
reserve or backup which means whenever
the calories from food are sufficient to
meet the energy needs of the body
there's no need to tap into that backup
energy supply that we all know as body
fat on the other hand if you're in a
calorie deficit the energy from food
alone isn't enough to fuel all bodily
processes and activities which means the
energy needs to come from somewhere else
since body fat is highly energy dense
with one pound of fat providing anywhere
from three thousand forms at 36 to 3752
calories worth of energy burning
stored body fat is an excellent way to
meet those energy demands now it's
important to note that it really doesn't
matter how you get into that calorie
deficit for example research shows that
it doesn't matter if you reduce your
calories by working out a lot or by
eating less given the same energy
balance weight and fat less results are
the same
it also doesn't matter for fat loss
whether you reduce your calories by
reducing your fat intake or your carb
intake but the bottom line is that
creating a negative energy balance is
the very first step the second step
revolves around the transmission of
signals and this is where people that
have a lot of excess body fat and people
that have health conditions like insulin
resistance start experiencing
disadvantages so at this point we have
the trigger for the whole process which
is the calorie deficit and that deficit
causes a reduction in blood sugar which
leads to reduction in insulin and a
reduction in ASP or oscillation
stimulating protein in relation to fat
loss you need to know that both insulin
and ASP act as brakes on the fat burning
process this is because they inhibit
various enzymes that break down body fat
such as hormone sensitive lipase or HSL
and lipoprotein lipase or LPL on the
other hand when insulin and asp are low
you'll have more favorable HSL and LPL
levels which benefits fat loss being in
a calorie deficit also alters various
other hormones that influence fat loss
the main ones are glucagon and
adrenaline glucagon binds to receptors
called G proteins while adrenaline binds
to beta adrenergic receptors that in
turn activates lipolysis which is the
third step in the process of breaking
down fat now keep in mind that there are
various other hormones that can also be
affected by exercising or reducing your
calorie intake an example is human
growth hormone which rises in response
to both exercise and reducing calories
but once again the most important
hormones for the actual conversion of
body fat into usable energy are glucagon
and adrenaline so we're now at step 3
which like I mentioned is lipolysis and
it's important that you understand that
even after entering this stage it does
not cause you to lose fat cells fat
cells will stay right where they
originally were because once they're
created your body cannot get rid of them
as shown by multiple studies instead
lipolysis will
to begin emptying those fat cells so in
this phase your body is literally
releasing the triglycerides that are
found inside your fat cells once the
triglycerides are released out of the
fat cells an enzyme called lipoprotein
lipase breaks them down into four
molecules one part glycerol and three
parts fatty acids those fatty acids are
then released into the bloodstream and
transported to the tissues where the
extra energy is needed this
transportation is fueled by a protein
called albumin the remaining glycerol
molecule on the other hand can be used
to form new triglycerides or it can be
burned off for energy through the
metabolic pathway known as glycolysis
which is essentially the burning of
glucose or carbohydrates now when it
comes to your body using the energy from
the broken-down fatty acids most of the
tissues and cells in your body can
oxidize fatty acids to be used for
energy however two exceptions are red
blood cells and the brain which both
rely on glucose the reason red blood
cells can't burn fat is because they
contain neither a mitochondria which is
the energy center of a cell where the
actual fat oxidation or fat burning
occurs and red blood cells also do not
contain metabolic enzymes which are also
necessary to use fat for energy brain
cells on the other hand they do have
mitochondria but they still can't burn
fatty acids to this day scientists still
find this very odd but many believe that
it could be because fatty acids can't
cross the blood-brain barrier however
with that said when carbohydrates in the
body get depleted really low for example
in cases like starvation or severe carb
restriction the liver can actually
transform fatty acids into ketones which
can then pass this blood-brain barrier
and get burnt off for energy by the
mitochondria within the brain cells so
all this means is that your brain will
only burn fat for energy if it doesn't
have enough carbohydrates to use for
energy other than the brain and red
blood cells most human body tissue and
cells are able to use fat for energy and
this is actually the last phase of the
fat loss process known as fat oxidation
so up to this point the triglycerides
have already been released from the fat
cells they've been transformed into
fatty acids they've been taken to the
target tissues and cells that need the
and they've been transported there by
the albumin protein now once those fatty
acids enter the cell an enzyme called
coenzyme a converts the fatty acids into
acyl Co a from there the next step is
for the acyl Kuwait to enter the
mitochondria which again is the energy
center of a cell where it can be burnt
off now the acyl kool a is only able to
enter the mitochondria through something
known as the carnitine shuttle this
process requires an amino acid called
carnitine which your body can make on
its own by using other essential amino
acids since carnitine is important for
asshoie
to be able to be transported into the
mitochondria supplement marketers often
claim that supplementing with extra L
carnitine will help aid fat loss
research however shows that this is not
the case the only exception would be if
you're vegan and you're not consuming
enough essential amino acids then your
body may not be able to produce enough L
carnitine on its own but usually that's
not the case so at this point inside the
mitochondria the fat oxidation process
is completed through different metabolic
pathways such as the electron transport
chain and the citric cycle which is also
known as the Krebs cycle ultimately as a
result of those processes carbon dioxide
and water get created as byproducts your
body will then get rid of the carbon
dioxide by exhaling it meanwhile the
water will be disposed of through your
urine sweat and through the air that you
breathe out so that's where fat or the
byproducts of fat to be exact that's
where they go once you burn the fat most
gets exhaled and the rest is released
through either sweat or urine so that's
the entire process of burning fat in a
nutshell however there are a few other
hormones that can indirectly influence
how much fat you burn and how much fat
you store for example you have to almost
opposite hormones known as leptin and
ghrelin leptin is a hormone that
inhibits hunger and leads to a feeling
of fullness and satiety it's released
from your fat cells so as you gain body
fat your body releases more leptin and
that leptin travels to the brain letting
your body know that you're full and that
you should stop eating or at least eat
less now as you lose body fat there are
less fat cells available and since the
fat cells are the source from where the
leptin
hormone is produced leptin levels drop
as well which reduces the feeling of
fullness and satiety at the same time
your body will increase the production
of ghrelin which is your hunger hormone
this will stimulate your appetite which
will make you want to eat more food
leading to the creation of more body fat
and in turn the body fat releases more
leptin which once again travels to the
brain letting your body know that you're
full and after eating enough food ground
levels also drop back down which also
helps to reduce hunger so this is a
finely tuned process that helps control
energy balance however as you gain more
and more body fat from having an
unhealthy diet or from a lack of
exercise you can create what's known as
leptin resistance so you would think
that if you were obese you would have
more than enough fat cells to send a
strong enough leptin signal to the brain
to tell your body that you're full and
that you should stop eating
however with leptin resistance the
signal from leptin doesn't reach the
brain so even though you have more than
enough fat on your body your brain
thinks you're starving which is
obviously only going to make fat loss
significantly harder and will probably
make you gain more body fat instead
creating a vicious cycle now to fix
things like leptin resistance insulin
resistance and to optimize your hormones
for fat loss in general the best and the
simplest thing you can do is eat a
healthy diet full of wholesome single
greeted foods that fill you up and
nourish your body naturally these
natural single ingredient foods like
fish sweet potatoes and broccoli will
help you drop your blood sugar and
create a calorie deficit without even
trying meanwhile you want to avoid
processed foods and foods that are
loaded with sugar on top of that weight
training can help optimize many hormones
that assist with the fat loss process
like insulin and testosterone and it
will obviously also burn some of the
calories that you consume but that's the
overall process guys I really hope you
