🤔 Calories? Fat? The answer is more fascinating than you think.

 






We all go to the gym or workout with one big goal - to lose weight, get fit and shed excess body fat. But have you ever wondered what exactly your body is burning? Calories or straight fat? Let's find out what the latest research says in simple terms!

 Body Energy Sources: Petrol vs Power Bank!


Our body uses two types of fuel to run:


1. Carbohydrates(Carbohydrates): It is like petrol, which gives quick energy. When we run or do heavy work, the body uses carbs for quick energy.


2. Fat: It is like a power bank, where energy is stored. When the body is relaxed or doing light work, it uses this stored fat for energy.


🏃‍♀️ Light vs Heavy Exercise: When Does What Burn?

Low-Intensity Workout:For example, long walks or light jogging. In this condition, your body draws a large portion of its energy from stored fat. Because, he doesn't need fast energy.


High-Intensity Workout (HIIT): Such as sprinting or HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training). During this type of exercise the body has to produce a lot of energy very quickly. So he chooses straight carbohydrates.


The real twist: fatIs the burning zone a myth?

Many people think that only being in the "fat burning zone" with low intensity exercise will result in more fat loss. It is partially true that fat is burned more at that time, but the most important thing for losing weight is to create a total calorie deficit (Calorie Deficit).


Let's say you burn 150 calories by walking lightly for 30 minutes, 70% of which come from fat. On the other hand, in a 15 minute HIIT session you 300 Burned calories, only 40% of which came from fat.


The math is simple: at the end of the day HIIT sessions mean more total calories and more fat burned! Plus there's the "afterburn effect," meaning your body continues to burn calories even after exercise.


 So what should you do? Some tips according to the latest research:


1. A mix of all types of exercise: not just cardio, but HIIT and strength training a few days a weekTraining). Strength training builds muscle, which helps increase your metabolism.


2. Diet is king: By reducing carbohydrate intake, the body learns to use fat more as fuel. Add foods rich in protein, healthy fats and fiber to your diet, such as - vegetables, fruits, eggs, fish, nuts, etc.


3. Adequate sleep and stress: Lack of sleep increases the stress hormone (cortisol), which causes belly fatOne of the causes of accumulation. So try to sleep 7-8 hours every day!


True fitness isn't a mystery—it's a science. Understanding the "why" behind your workout can make all the difference.
