How What You Eat Gets Turned To Body Fat

By Katherine Crawford M.S.

If you want to avoid the multitude of negative side effects from high protein diets, your fat loss approach should have a balanced eating plan in place. And balanced eating will give you a lot more energy per calorie of food consumed.

Even if you have the most balanced diet, however, fat storage can still take place. So it will be good for you to understand how different macro nutrients get processed in your body once consumed.

Thus, here is how what you eat gets turned into body fat:

1. Bread, pasta, cereal. All types of carbohydrates, these foods well eventually be broken down into molecules of sugar before entering your blood stream. From there, they will be stored as glycogen and once glycogen levels are full, as fat.

2. Dietary fatty acids. When you eat fat it gets stored as body fat very easily. How so? It gets broken down into fatty acids and glycerol. Having said that, do NOT restrict your fat intake as it is critical for maximizing fat loss hormone production.

3. Steak, fish, poultry. All types of protein, they get broken down into amino acids. These amino acids will then be reconfigured into muscle. But there is a catch: you have to exercise in order for this to happen!

4. Spirits. By spirits I mean alcohol! The Achilles heel of any fat loss hopeful. Why? Because not only does alcohol slow down the rate at which you can burn body fat, but it also gets stored as fat in between your organs. And this is the worst type of fat.

Your body has a limited capacity to store food as glycogen or muscle mass. So any excess here will get stored as body fat. I repeat: ANY excess gets stored as body fat.

Contrary to what many experts claim, excess dietary protein (or any macro nutrient) WILL be stored as body fat. So the key to any successful fat loss plan is the consumption of a balanced diet with a net negative caloric intake. Oh, and do not forget to avoid alcohol! - 17269
