Why Weight

Fat Burning Facts

By Will Garrett


There have been many studies done on the bodies fuel sources and at what level of exercise you burn the most fat. Your body uses a mixture of glucose and fat for fuel and sometimes in extreme conditions your muscle is used for energy. When you need quick energy you are using your glucose supply. If you sustain that level for a period of time your bodies ratio will switch from mainly glucose to mainly fat being used. You won't stop using either fuel source, the ratio will just shift a bit.

* Fat burning fact #1

For weight loss purposes it doesn't matter what source you are using .The bottom line in weight loss is burning calories.The longer and harder you work out the more calories you will burn. If you want to lose one pound a week you will have to burn 3500 more calories that week than you took in. Or cut 300-500 calories out of your diet a day. You don't need an expensive gym membership for this either. Walking fast for one or two hours a night will accomplish this.

Soybeans are rich in Lecithin and will shield your cells from accumulating fat . Citrus fruits contain vitamin C which reduces the effectiveness of fat by diluting it. In turn making it easier to flush from your body. Apples contain pectin in them which limits the amount of fat your cells can absorb. Garlic oil has a protective quality that will help reduce fatty deposits. High fiber food can slow the rate at which calories are ingested. It helps reduce fatty deposits and has a cleaning affect on your cells. The list of quality fat burning foods goes on and on. So don't cut out food from your diet and expect good healthy weight loss.
