are those hours spent being incapable of burning body fat — you are also very likely to be adding
to the fat you already have!
THERE ARE A FEW THINGS I SHOULD POINT OUT HERE
FOR CLARIFICATION.
1.There is no such thing as a fat-burning food. Food provides calories to your body.We get the
optimum level of energy by eating food. So, whatever we’re eating is a source of fuel for our body.
Calories are used for energy and the calories that are not used for energy are simply stored in your
body’s fat cells. That being said, fat is more easily absorbed into fat cells than glucose (carbs)or
amino acids (protein), but excess calories from each will still fit nicely into a fat cell.
I saw an article the other day that claimed blueberries are one of the best fat-burning foods we
can eat. If that was truly the case, logic would tell us that we need to go out and eat 20 pounds
of them so we could get lean quickly.But we all know that this would not really do anything but
add to our weight problems. Keep this in mind the next time you see a magazine article cover that
promises to give you the ‘Top 10 Fat Burning Foods’ .Food does not burn fat!
2. When you eat a meal, your body typically runs on those calories for the next 4-6 hours
(through glucose and glycogen stores), which means you are in a fed state (not a fasted one)
during that time. M ost people will eat another meal (or at least a snack) in the next six hours,
which keeps the body fed instead of fasted. So, if your last bite of food is at 8 pm, your body is
likely going to be fed until 2 am. At that time, your last meal will be digested and the body will
switch over to using body fat to keep it going through the night (we all fast during our sleeping
hours). N ow,when you wake up at 6 am and eat breakfast (break-fast), your body immediately
stops burning fat and goes right back into a fed state.
