Exercising without a gym

thanks CBS...

 

I was searching through the thread, but was not able to find (yet), links or explanation as to what happens to the fat that we consume. I remember reading:

 

1. it is not stored as fat

2. it bypasses the liver

3. it encourages the body to burn fat...

 

is that about it? what's the science behind it? sorry if you've posted it before, but I've not managed to finish it. the net gives conflicting information...

 

Thanks!

I'm sure the science is somewhere in the thread.

 

Basically, obesity is a disease of fat accumulation. Not a disease of overeating and under exercising. You see some people who eat a lot and are skinny, and you also see people who eat very little and are fat.

 

The next time you watch TV and see news or a documentary where mothers in poverty stricken in 3rd world countries bring their starving, literally skin and bones, children to collect food aid, pay attention to whether the mothers are fat or skinny. Most of the mothers are obese with undernourished kids.

 

Do you think the mothers ate all the food and left none for their kids?

 

Fat storage/loss is a hormonal event.

 

Which hormone plays the biggest role in fat accumulation?

 

Insulin.

 

More insulin, more often = more fat storage and less fat released for energy

 

Less insulin, less often = less fat storage and more fat released for energy

 

Very simply, the amount of insulin produced by your body is directly related to what you eat.

 

Carbs = biggest insulin response

 

Protein = quite large response, but offset by the energy needed to break it down

 

Fat = almost zero insulin response

 

If you really want to go into the science, I advice you to go to a library and look up biochemistry textbooks.

 

This info is not new at all. It's been known since the 19th century. Too bad in the 20th century, big food corporations took over giving nutritional advice to the public.

thanks CBS.

 

edit: a quick question is what does happen to the fat we eat? some stored? most burnt? passed out? thanks.

Take your time to read, when you know the science behind it you will be more likely to succeed.

From what I gather, it's different for everyone. When I first started, I literally passed the fat out. Then when my exercise intensity went up drastically, it definitely went to fueling my workouts and rebuilding whatever that needs rebuilding.

 

But you can be sure that some is stored, some is used for repair, some is used for energy...

 

The key is to make your body not store it by limiting the storage biomechanism.

as long as 40% and above, preferably 45% alcohol, the amount of carbs is negligible....nearly zero.

 

I like "Qing Ger".....Tibetan Rye Liquor.....omg powerful lol
