How Does Exercise Really Burn Fat? (Exercise vs DIET) । How does exercise burn fat? | Types Of Exercise
you've heard somebody say it in your
life I need to lose some weight I've just gained too much this holiday season or I really let myself go Mercy Me there's a lot of reasons why people want to lose weight but very few understand exactly what's happening when they lose weight and to be fair it's fairly complex so we'll try to break that down for you hi folks it's falcon and today on waist time we asked the question how does exercise burn fat so first off this isn't to say that anyone should needs to ken must or maybe could lose some weight that's really between you the you that's in a mirror and your doctor in some cases how you lead your life is personal and that's not what we want to talk about here however in order to understand how exercise burns fat you need to learn how your body uses fat so let's talk about calories a calorie believe it or not is actually a unit of measurement which they use to keep track of energy typically heat energy specifically the amount needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water a single degree Celsius you likely see that number if you ever look at nutrition information and think wow that little huh how great and then you look at the number of servings you look weight this is that many servings this is this is not big enough for me to eat in that way hmm this is definitely one plate full of food not six but anyway the way your body works you need 2,000 calories every single day to continue to operate at the same level of functioning that you are currently so every day you need to consume 2,000 calories and that sounds like a lot but it's not really if you've ever actually looked at the calorie content of most meals they don't really stick to that but just to be entirely clear it's not always 2,000 calories for every single person it's probably around there but here's something that's pretty interesting if you think about it about 70% of that 2,000 calories goes to the various processes that keep you alive for instance your kidneys you really really need your kidneys they're a vital part in how you keep your body pure of toxins same goes for the liver and really if you want to talk about it you need your heart pretty bad too don't you well that takes energy too so roughly around 1400 to 1500 calories daily go just into that just into being alive just standing around sitting around clicking things on your computer sleeping eating more food that stuff takes up 70% of the energy that you bring in now processing that energy that is to say digestion takes another 10% of your energy so we've accounted for 80% of that energy 80% of the 2,000 calories you bring in on a daily basis goes to life processes and breaking down your food in the process of breaking down your food your body will often find that you've brought in more than 2,000 calories daily that is to say like I said meals don't always encourage you to eat just the amount necessary to live they're often above 2,000 calories if you eat three meals a day because they kind of don't care about how many calories are in food they care about you buying food and well they kind of do things to direct you away from thinking about that sort of stuff they like the money they don't really like the thinking in keeping track of calories and the food that they're putting out is more along the lines of the thinking than it is the getting of the money so here's what happens with calories the energy that you consume when you eat food is processed by your liver into either sugar or fat sugar is what's actually burned and when I say sugar I don't mean sugar exactly I don't mean powdered sugar or sugar cane or granulated sugar or anything like that I actually mean glycogen which is a polysaccharide of glucose the animals fungi and human beings used to store energy it's short-term storage though because it burns well now fat doesn't burn well and that's why fat is long-term storage as you're burning glycine you're gradually depleting a short-term fuel supply if you're performing a physical activity such as exercise or moving a bunch of stuff that you need in the basement because there's too much stuff in the damn living room if you feel like you've sort of hit the wall so to speak it's because you've run out of glycogen your body is now running on fat the energy that it is stored but it doesn't burn well like I said it's energy that can make you feel energetic at a much slower rate to where you don't necessarily actually feel energetic this is why your liver does what it does if your liver isn't livering you're not going to have glycogen or fat and the liver also has the capability of going back and forth between the two it can take glycogen turning into fat take fat turn it into glycogen and it is absolutely imperative because when you're running on sugar you obviously feel a lot better you feel like you're running on energy as opposed to kind of limping along it's why you only put gasoline into a gasoline car you don't put like lighter fluid into it and expect it to work like it's supposed to I have no idea what would happen if you did that but I'd be willing to bet it's not work how it's supposed to and here's the other thing your body only uses 20% of its energy on physical activity so even if you did a lot of physical activity it wouldn't necessarily even get to the point of burning fat and your daily food intake is somewhere relevant to your body weight and activity level in fact you're very rarely actually burning fat at all the majority of the time you're exercising you're just going through the amount of food that you had in that day anyhow if you didn't wear yourself out and then keep going despite that you probably haven't actually burned any fence specifically this is why people diet if people don't bring in enough calories then their liver has to convert fat over to fly surgeon in order to burn his fuel for the daily activities this obviously takes energy as well so I mean it's got to come from somewhere and if it's not your food it's your fat so that's a very good reason why to be careful when you're dieting it's much easier to crash on account you don't have as much glycogen there are some people who say you should never diet no matter what and that exercise is how you're going to lose weight but frankly if your doctor has said you need to lose weight this is bad for your heart which like I said is a very individualized personal thing that I have absolutely no way of saying is a situation you may be experiencing but usually diet works a lot better than just exercise you really have to exercise a lot I mean exercising and maintaining a healthy diet is obviously the best way to go because it's not just about losing weight it's also about finding a healthy medium but
