hello in this video we’re going to talk about how fat gets burned okay now when

you think about fat burning there’s no real burning going on it’s basically the

release of fat from the fat cell that gets turned into energy okay I’m going

to just talk about the mechanics of actually what happens your fat cell is

primarily stored with triglycerides okay those are fats and they’re in a liquid

state so your fat is basically liquid it’s not a solid and what happens is

that there’s an enzyme called hormone sensitive lipase it’s an enzyme now

enzymes are proteins that help chemical changes occur in the body they’re like

the workhorse they’re like the worker bee that does the work in the body

they’re kind of magical because they can go in there and change and break down

proteins and build them back up break down fat and build and back up into body

tissue so lipase is the primary enzyme that releases the stored fat in the fat

cell and it’s a hormone sensitive which means it’s triggered by certain hormone

okay so now that we know that lipase is the enzyme now the real question is what

triggers let’s pace okay there’s certain things that trigger it

and number one we’re going to use this little book right here guidance

physiology on page 927 it says insulin inhibits the action of hormone sensitive

lipase okay so if this is the burning of fact or the releasing effect and insulin

is there it will inhibit this it will stop it

number two insulin promotes glucose transport into the fat cell so basically

in the presence of insulin it’s going to actually cause storage into the fat cell

okay so far insulin is not good for losing weight right but here’s what I

want talking about therefore when infant is not available to promote glucose

entry into the fat cell that storage is almost completely blocked okay all

aspects of fat metabolism are greatly enhanced in the absence

of insulin okay so it’s really the absence of insulin and triggers lipase

that’s the trigger all right so cutting out the carbs not

eating so frequently those are the two big ones

number two fasting so fasting is another trigger for this enzyme intermittent

fasting why because every time you eat you trigger insulin right another one

adrenaline from exercise so exercise will trigger the lipase enzyme to help

you dissolve fat growth hormone is another trigger for lipase growth

hormone would be intense exercise sleeping a small amount of protein and

intermittent fasting those are all the triggers for growth on them sigh red

hormones will also trigger lipase okay now sometimes people will say they have

a confusion because they say well insulin resistance is blocking insulin

from getting into the cell stair buddy will have lower insulin and will lose

weight but that’s not what happens because when you have insulin resistance

and sends a signal to the pancreas forcing the pancreas to make five to

seven times more insulin so insulin resistance is actually too much insulin

because of the overcompensation that’s occuring it’s a real important point

that you need to know so we have this release of fat from the fat cell partly

we got triglycerides fatty acids that can be used for energy in the muscle but

also a lot of it’s just converted through the liver into ketones which is

used for energy so that’s where we get the ketosis so the question is would a

low calorie diet trigger lipase okay well not necessarily not if you have

carbs in your diet too many carbs and you’re triggering insulin so this will

just kind of help you understand like what diets will work what diets won’t

well a high-fat diet cause the release of the fat well not necessarily because

high fat does not inhibit insulin you can still be eating carbs and fat at the

same time fasting well that’s not eating anything

exercise growth hormone so high fat is not the trigger it’s something that you

want to consume because it’s it’s kind of not going to trigger insulin too much

but it’s not the main trigger low fat diet is is that going to help trigger

the release of this no because there is no when you do a low fat diet that’s not

a trigger to this enzyme at all it’s not gonna help you lose weight with a

high-protein diet cause this trigger no because high protein doesn’t trigger

enemies with a vegan diet trigger lipase no because you can be eating a lot of

carbs it really depends on your insulin level if you’re doing intimate fasting

exercise growth hormone and thyroid hormone avoiding saturated fat is that

can help you lose weight no it’s not going to help you lose weight at all so

the point is that this is how fast burn through this enzyme these are the

triggers and that’s the simplicity of it thanks for watching
