How Fat Burners & Thermogenesis Works
The war on fat begins, you’ve decided it’s time to begin your dieting down phase and well, you’ve come to the right place for the perfect resource on your fat loss journey.
In this blog, we’ll explain the fat loss process and offer practical tips to get you started. We know you’re super eager to begin and to blast that fat away, so we’ll keep this super simple and brief.
Without further ado, let’s get stuck in!
Understanding The Fat Burning Process
So fat burning essentially refers to the process of breaking down the stored fat in the body and converting them into fatty acids and glycerol, which are then used as energy by the body. To keep things simple, below is a short 4 step process on how this works:
-
Lipolysis: The body breaks down triglycerides in sorted fat cells into fat acids and glycerol.
-
Transportation: Once these are broken down, the fatty acids are released into the bloodstream and transported to cells where they can be used for energy.
-
Oxidation: Inside the mitochondria, those fatty acids under beta-oxidation convert them into acetyl-CoA, which then enters the Krebs cycle to produce ATP… the body’s primary energy currency.
-
Excretion of byproducts: The byproducts of fat oxidation are then expelled through respiration and urine.
Now thermogenesis is a key component of fat burning, it is the process of heat production in the body which occurs through metabolic activity. So when the body generates heat, it burns more calories which in turn, contributes to overall fat loss since this natural metabolic process when activated, allows for energy to be expended, thus leading to calorie burning and fat loss.
How Fat Burner Supplements Work
Fat burner supplements often work by stimulating the above mentioned process of thermogenesis. Ingredients like caffeine, green tea extract and capsaicin are known to increase metabolic rate, leading to higher energy expenditure. This process can help you burn more calories throughout the day, even during periods of rest.
Through several mechanisms, fat burner supplements typically work by:
-
Increasing metabolic rate: Ingredients such as caffeine and green tea extract boost metabolic rate, causing the body to burn more calories.
-
Appetite suppression: Certain fat burners include ingredients that help control hunger, reducing overall calorie intake.
-
Energy boosting: Fat burners can increase energy levels, making it easier to stay active and adhere to a workout routine.
-
Fat oxidation: Compounds like L-carnitine facilitate the transportation of fatty acids to the mitochondria, where they are burned for energy.
How YOU can use fat burner supplements
While fat burners can provide valuable support on your fat loss journey, they work best when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Here are a few tips on how you can maximise their effectiveness:
-
Follow a calorie-deficit diet: Consume fewer calories than you burn to maximise fat loss. Perhaps 500 calories below your maintenance level of calories since there are 3,500 calories in a pound of fat, leading to weekly fat loss if you are 500 calories deficient each day.
-
Stay hydrated: Proper hydration supports metabolism and prevents cravings.
-
Combine with strength training: Maintain muscle mass while shedding fat to achieve a leaner physique. There’s no need to go beyond failure during this time, the aim is to maintain your muscle mass so just go to failure or even short of.
-
Avoid late-day stimulants: Since fat burners contain stimulants, consuming them late in the day may disrupt sleep. And of course sleep is critical, check out our top tips on how you can maximise your sleep.
-
Perform low intensity cardio: We recommend performing low intensity cardio as we want to use fat as our energy source and we don’t want to cut into our glycogen stores and affect recovery. So try to keep your heart rate around 110-115 bpm, so conversational pace cardio.
