Does your body use fat calories from areas of your body in relation to muscles needing the energy?

Sometimes, in cardio exercise, the body will use the energy from stored fat to provide the energy needed to complete the activity.
That's why exercise is so important. You should be exercising every day, and a large part of that should be cardiovascular exercise, to reduce fat deposits on your body and for growth of your muscles.

If you are a diabetic and your sugar levels stay high, your body WILL use your body fat for energy. This is dangerous and can cause death if sugar levels are not lowed. Over a few months of uncontrolled high sugar levels the body will feed on your fat cells, because the body cannot break down the glucose in the foods you eat. Regretfully diabetic girls will do this to lose weight rapidly.

In a normal body this does not happen, but to report that it is not possible is wrong. I hope this simply gives you insight.

Not sure but I wish it would use about half the fat calories from my butt

No. Where your body pulls from fat stores is genetically predetermined, so you can't spot reduce by using the muscles in your fattest areas. However, it does use carbohydrate stores (glycogen) from the muscles that are working. To burn fat, you need to burn more calories than you take in. The best way to do this is aerobic exercise and sensible eating. Over time, this will increase your body's overall ability to burn fat.
Good luck.

yes it uses but only in certain conditions. when person is starving initially carbohydrate then protein sources of energy are used up.once one is deprived of that than only fat comes into field


hatchetmistress
I don't think so....I think that you need to burn your fat....we store fat.....I don't know...that is a hard question......I can't wait for the answer .....I know muscles burn fat

no. it takes it from all over, evenly. you can't spot-target fat loss...thats why situps dont make your tummy flatter, they just tone the muscles. You have to do cardio to burn fat.

No.That isn't how it works.Look up "kribs cycle" it will explain the whole process of how the body uses up it's fat or "stored energy"
When the blood runs out of glucose the next place the body gets
energy from is the glycogen which is stored in the liver after you are out of that it starts using up fat from around your heart.This takes at least 20 minutes of burning energy to start.After you quit
working out your body still uses energy to replace the glycogen that you used up.

no zats not really true

No, but this is a typical question that I get from many of my clients who come to me looking to burn the fat from their belly or the back of their arms. I think this myth is perpetuated by fad diets and fad exercise equipments and programs.

It doesn't really work that way. Calories are simply a measure of heat. Heat does not go only to the area of the body you want it to go to. Drink a hot drink, does only one part of you feel affected by the heat? Calories are like that, they are burned off in the entire body in relation to how much you eat and how active you are. If you eat a lot more than you can burn off you will gain weight, if you eat less than you burn off then voila, you are losing weight. The catch is that the body will lose weight first where it feels it can afford it. Belly fat is the last to go. You need specific techniques to keep the abdomen from jutting out. Sit ups don't help! You cannot really spot train, to reduce any particular area's weight. If you train the larger muscles with intensity, it will boost your overall calories burned, and you'll tone the body as you lose weight. Don't be too stuck on weight loss, as you train, you'll actually gain some weight, as muscle weighs more than fat.

Energy distribution is really not that specific. Energy goes everywhere, just like blood and breath, it feeds the body what it needs, and keeps on flowing where there are no obstructions to it's free movement. Where your energy is low, and there is an obstruction, new energy will not be able to penetrate the density.

Rani

Hmmm...interesting theory..But, I don't think so. Too bad it doesn't work that way.

Pf course not.They take in the fat in relation to WHEN it was stored.You see,fats are digested by our body into fatty acids and glycerol.The fatty acids are the problem;the more fat you eat,the more of it gets under your skin.If it's not used up after a long time,the body decides it needs more space to put even more fat.So,it converts that fat into solid fat,which takes up less space,but is harder to burn.Then after an even longer period of time,the body needs even MORE space,so it compacts or joins together the molecules of these solid fats to form cellulose,which as we all know is HELL to burn off.So,the body takes out the easiest of the three fisrt,liquid fats,followed by solid fats,then cellulose,in order of which is easiest to convert into energy for the least energy cost.Simple.

No. "Spot training" as it is called, doesn't work for removing fat from specific areas. You can tone the muscle in a specific area, but fat is removed as your body sees fit... sorry.
