In the three previous articles I have written, you can learn about how the fat is burnt in your body.
You will also learn the critical importance the liver has if you are seeking to burn fat.
In this informative article you'll learn about the other organs and the muscles ability to burn fat.
Among the organs that consume lots of energy, we find our brain.
Under normal circumstances the brain wont accept fat as a source of energy.
The brain wants glucose (the same as blood sugar).
The brain consumes heaps of energy, and it is actually possible for it to use up to a quarter pound of carbohydrates per day.
If you don't eat enough carbohydrates the body has to find an alternative fuel.
This alternative is...
fat! The fat is converted into ketone which the brain accepts although it is not as good as glucose.
ketone are produced if you are low on carbohydrates, and if you are starving.
There are also other organs that may accept ketone as fuel, for example the kidneys, but those organs energies consumption is almost neglectful in comparison with the muscles, bran and liver.
The muscles give excellent fat burning opportunities.
This is the fat burnt while exercising.
Regular exercise activates the muscles and boost the fat burning process.
Remember that muscles are active organs and the more you have the more fat you'll be able to burn thus an increase in lean muscle mass will burn fat more effectively and for a longer period of time.
Also, you have to know that weight lifting increase the basic energy consumption which makes it easier to stay fit once you are fit.
