The most important thing about fat
On this page, we have written a small FAQ about fat, where we tried to talk about what fat is and how to deal with its surplus.
What is fat and what is it for?
Normal human existence is possible only with sufficient maintenance energy intake. The energy in the human body is presented in the form of the carbohydrate glycogen deposited in the liver and muscles and as fat.
Fat is a concentrate of the vitality of the body, which begins to consume in terms of low power. That is, during full power, part of the reserves are deposited in reserve. So to speak, on a rainy day. When such a period comes, and the body begins to receive his prescribed food, he starts to process its own reserves. It is necessary to consider that fat is a very convenient form of energy storage. With one kilogram of fat, you can get up to 8750 calories.
Studies have shown that overweight people are able to stay longer in low-temperature conditions. In addition, plump ladies were more valued in the past century. Because it was believed that they can feed their babies in times of food shortage.
Fat reserves of the person, types of adipose tissue
To talk about fat in General and the fat in an exact person, you need to know where it is. In humans, there are two types of fat: white and brown. At the time of maturation, the amount of white fat is many times more than the content of brown. Therefore, further, we will talk only about white fat. White fat, or “adipose tissue”, is a community of fat cells, called adipocytes. Device adipocyte is that it can accumulate triglycerides, presented by the white fat. While fat cells can’t stretch out to infinity. And since the body gets an abundance of nutrients, the surplus needs to be put somewhere. And then, to help the adipocytes come accessory cells, which are transformed into fat, you begin to accumulate more fat.
Can fat cells turn back to accessory cells?
Can’t. A joke of nature is that accessory cells are able to make only a one-way transformation into fat cells and the inverse transformation is impossible. This fact is the cause of the rapid weight gain after a period of hunger strike. The body as it says – “Caution, the hunger strike could be repeated. You need to eat!” The mass takes place in an accelerated version, since cells released from fat stores and ready for its replenishment.
Where the fat disappears first?
Now you should talk about the synthesis process and the consumption of existing fat. For this, the adipocytes have two types of receptors.
If the body receives proper food, human blood is saturated with the necessary nutrients to the maximum permissible level, and then the work enters the alpha-receptor, which is responsible for fat synthesis. This process is called lipogenesis.
If, however, the body has got in conditions of low power, and the blood at the moment does not contain in its composition substances necessary for the organism, the phase of consumption of fat, or scientifically, the phase of lipolysis starts. The action takes Beta-receptor and the lipolysis with the formation necessary for the existence of energy.
It should also be noted that adipocytes, fat cells, differ by the presence of receptors. Cells in the thighs and buttocks contain mainly alpha receptors. So they quickly accumulate fat. The upper part of the body, on contrary, is rich in cells whose main function is to give. Therefore, during fasting in the first place, we lose weight in the upper half of the body.
That can cause the synthesis of fat and its breakdown is the level of adrenaline, glucose, and insulin in the blood. This wonderful trio is responsible for our appearance.
How you should start the process of fat reduction?
In order to prevent weight gain, it is necessary to establish the balance between lipogenesis and lipolysis, which is the process of creating and fat reduction.
Therefore, when eating it is important to know what result is possible in this case to achieve. If there is a lack of adipose tissue can be used that will be deposited in reserve. And if you want to decrease the synthesis of fats from the diet should exclude, or at least limit the use of products that contribute to lipogenesis.
First and foremost, you should pay attention to the presence of food fats (especially harmful) and simple carbohydrates (white sugar, products made from flour, and other refined products). It is advisable not to combine fatty meat, lard, butter, cream, consumption of white bread, sugar, condensed milk, and any other refined carbohydrate food.
It is also necessary to follow a diet. If you use the above products in the first half of the day before increased loads, the multiplication of fat cells will not occur. However, the use of these products before bedtime will lead to the formation of additional fat cells.
How to remove fat from the buttocks, thighs, stomach?
Contrary to popular belief, selective fat tissue to remove is not possible with some exercise and dieting. This is due to the fact that adipose tissue located in the buttocks, abdomen, or hips, is part of the human body. The human body is not able to limit or, conversely, to increase the power in a particular area of the body. However, every rule has its exceptions.
For example, in order to reduce fat belly, you should give him a good load (e.g. push press), and to limit yourself in food. In this case, the energy required for exercise is taken from fat reserves of the belly. However, this process is lengthy and it is important to prevent the formation of new fat cells – adipocytes.
Is it possible when losing weight to lose only fat?
If someone believes that while starvation only decreases the amount of fat – he is deeply mistaken. The stress associated with starvation, exposed to the entire body. And since the muscles do not have their own sources of energy, you lose weight in the first place. With regard to the training described above, your muscle mass, in this case just change the shape of the cross section of muscle fibers, whose number is the same as a newborn, and bodybuilder.
Unfortunately, some training is still in the pursuit of losing weight burns fat and muscle tissue.
How much fat can you burn in a day?
Quite a bit, about 100 grams a day, in rare cases up to 200 grams. But if you exercise regularly, the result will be felt.
After all, it’s 3 pounds of fat a month! Why not more, read on…
In order to enable them to perform the necessary work, it is important to provide the body with enough energy. While fat reserves of the body can’t quickly transform into the required substance. Therefore, when a person uses all the glycogen stores, it starts to process the most digestible food for him. And those foods are muscles. To prevent this kind of “sabotage”, the person should eat a sufficient amount of protein. That is why, in the shops, involved in servicing bodybuilders, sells a variety of types of protein.
Why not to limit yourself to drinking?
Water is known to be the main fluid of the body, is present in all organs and systems. Therefore, for normal functioning, the body needs liquid. For adipocytes – fat cells of the body, water is also important. It is used for creating fat and is released when it dissolves. At the same time, the forced restriction of the consumption of water can lead to dehydration (dehydration) of brain cells, and, as a consequence – to loss of memory.
What to consider in order not to lose the beauty of the skin after weight loss?
In order for the skin to preserve beauty even after weight loss, it also requires the presence of water. This is due to the fact that the collagen protein, due to which the skin looks healthy and resilient, requires water. With the help of water, collagen fibers are tightened and the skin becomes smooth and silky. Lacking moisture, the skin takes a flabby appearance, starts to peel off. A similar effect can be observed in fruits and vegetables. Say torn just cucumber, the skin is smooth, elastic and corresponds to the characteristics of the variety. But enough of cucumber to lie down for a day or two in the sun, as his skin wrinkles, it becomes ugly.
Why in the sauna “we do not lose weight”?
The main physiological task of sweating is to support the thermoregulation of the body. The excretory function is enabled only in the case when the (urinary) system can not cope with its responsibilities. After a stay of a man in a sauna, his body becomes covered then. But the sweat merely to protect the body from overheating and it has no other duties. And in order to keep the optimal temperature in the body and do not make thermal shock, it is necessary to maintain water balance by drinking as much water as you want.
What is aerobic exercise (cardio)?
We all remember from school physics course, what “Aero” means air. He will now be necessary for control over fatty deposits.
In order to reduce the amount of fat in the body requires oxygen, which as a result of lipolysis releases energy which is then used by the body. Good blood circulation, the main supplier of oxygen, depends on proper functioning of heart. If the heart is not trained, it may not be a long time to work with the increased load. Good results has a cardio running, swimming, rowing, Cycling. You should train with the load that the heart rate during exercise corresponds to the formula (220-age).
In order to start the process of lipolysis, it is necessary to properly distribute the load on the muscles. The major muscles involved in the workout, consume more energy and, therefore, quickly begin to feel the lack of food. This moment begins lipolysis, which reduces the amount of body fat.
But in order to achieve a stable result in the reduction of adipose tissue, the muscles need to contract regularly, alternating periods of rest and stress. Only in this case, the breakdown products of fat can leave the area “fighting” completely, otherwise, the result will be short-term.
As for static loads (kallanetik, yoga, Pilates), they do not take any part in the breakdown of fats, and such loads do not allow to evacuate the products of lipolysis from the work zone, preventing the flow of oxygen. Thus, static exercise is not aimed at reducing fat mass, just endurance, flexibility, and other physical and spiritual qualities of man.
What is cellulite and how to get rid of it?
Cellulite is fat deposits in the upper layers of the skin. And since there are the cells that accumulate fat reserve, between the collagen fibers, the appearance of skin with signs of cellulite resembles an orange peel. At low physical stress and reduced the flow of blood through the capillaries, there is a “swelling” of the fat cells. As a result, lipolysis stops, and in effect appears new cells.
Therefore, in order not to turn into “orange” you should take care of the normal circulation of the upper layers of the skin. Very suitable for this alternating aerobic exercise with rubbing in the problem areas of the gels containing caffeine or aminophylline. To the part, you want to add a couple of drops of Dimexidum who successfully deliver molecules of caffeine or aminophylline deep into the tissues.
The presence of these substances in the problem areas of the body will lead to the expansion of blood vessels and will ensure the normal functioning of capillaries that contributes to the outflow of harmful substances and full delivery of healthy.
PS: Before apply the gel with the above components – it is important to consult with your doctor! Buy these drugs only in pharmacies.
Is there a sense from the advertised “miracle products” and diet?
Well, at the end of the article, we should talk about commercial newfangled diets, methods and tablets. According to some speculators “medicine” people bought them “miracle remedy” or recipe of some new-fangled diet, is able to get rid of excess weight.
However, they assure everyone that before was thick as a barrel, and now as slim as a birch. Of course, with quality photo editing program “Photoshop” is hard to argue. But life is life. Besides, it is necessary to consider the law of conservation of energy, which implies that the energy released in the breakdown of fats, should be somewhere spent. And when you burn fat in such a short time, as stated in advertisements, the body would be just burned from the abundance of released energy!
So most of the new products for weight loss merely add to the funds deposited in the pockets of the sly charlatans but do not bring any benefit to their defrauded citizens.
The result is the following. In order to attain the elegant shape of the body is required to enter in your life the optimal for the body’s aerobic exercise, adjust your diet, minimize the intake of simple carbohydrates and unhealthy fats, and use special creams to fight cellulite.
