THE REASON WE PUT ON WEIGHT



Fat synthesis and deposition happens when energy intake is high and energy demands are low. In other words, we package and store fat when we eat more than we burn through metabolism and activity. The energy that we eat in the form of food has to go somewhere. If we can’t expend it as heat, movement or some other metabolic activity, we have to store it and our body’s preferred storage method is fat.  The synthesis of fats in our bodies can come from either excess dietary fat or excess dietary carbohydrates. It could also come from excess dietary proteins but this requires a unique set of conditions. This means that no matter what combination of macro-nutrients you eat, if you eat more than you expend, you’ll store the excess energy. Fat accumulation in the body is controlled by hormone insulin, so when you secret a lot of insulin, you store calories as fat and when insulin levels come down you release the fat and burn it. We secret insulin in response to carbohydrates in the diet.  So if you’re trying to lose weight, apart from staying away from fatty foods, you have to reduce your carbohydrates in your diet and you’ll begin to see results. Bodyfit Personal Trainers are well versed with nutrition knowledge to help you plan and make the right food choices.
