HOW THE BODY BURNS FAT

 HOW THE BODY BURNS FAT.

How the body burn fat in the first place. The body uses energy in form of adenosine triphosphate to burn fat or what is called ATP.

Depending on our level of activity the body may choose to use fat or carbs for energy.

That's the main point, the body can choose fats or carbs and we want the body to choose fats so that we can lose them.

So, how can we let the body choose fat? It is very simple just by letting our bodies move to the fat burning zone. I talked about the fat burning zone in detail in one of my posts so be sure to check that out.

When the body is in the fat burning zone it is then able to burn fat. It is usually between 60% and 70% of our normal heart rate. You can check your fat burning zone in my post about how to find your fat burning zone. 

A lot of us tend to confuse between fat and carbs. Doing HIIT makes the body use carbs for energy in place of fat. This is why HIIT is not recommended if you want to slim down. LISS uses fat for energy that is why it is the best if you want to lose fat. I talked in detail about HIIT and LISS in detail too in one of my posts.

So, in the simplest words possible, you want to make sure each time you work out you push your body to the fat burning zone so that you can actually lose fat.

Done for now, See you later.
