Fit Fresh Cuisine Presents: True Weight Loss
Metabolism: • Amount of calories burned over a period of time Higher Metabolism= More Calories Burned Lower Metabolism= Less Calories Burned
ATP: Does it all • Mechanical Work- Muscle Contraction • Chemical Work- Systems in the body
Basal Metabolic Rate The calories that you burn throughout the day
Factors affecting BMR • Age • Gender • Muscle Mass • Stress • Diet
Glycogen Fat Cells
Adipocytes • Arise from Stem Cells • More stem cells will be converted to Fat Cells if you need them (i.e. to store extra energy).
Fat Cell: Adipocyte • Regulated by hormones • Effective Storage • Compact yet high energy • Protects body against high blood sugar levels
A note about Diabetes…… • This signaling system doesn’t work. • So blood sugar is left to float around in the body • Causes Nerve Damage • Affects all body systems
Fat Storage • Women- You are so good at this! • Store 6-11% more than Men • Estrogen decreases ability to “burn energy” • To prepare for fertility
Breakdown of Fat • Adipocytes will open up and release when they get a signal. • “GLUCOSE is GONE!”
Glucagon • Hormone • Releases the stores of Energy • Opens Fat Cells • Sends Fat into Blood Stream • Body takes over, to burn fat up to make…..
Training • Teaching your body to use Fat as a fuel source. • The more you train, your body is able to use fat as a higher percentage of its fuel source.
Exercise • Increases Metabolism • Hormonal Fatty Acid Release • Excess Post Exercise Oxygen Consumption • Builds Muscle Mass 1 lb. Difference = 7 lb in one year!!!!!
To Burn off 1 Lb of Fat • Means you need to burn 3500 kcal • Or eat 3500 kcal less • 500 kcal less each day, would loose 1 lb/week
