As you must have realized from my previous posts, ‘Know your body fat: The different types’ and ‘Different types of fat in your food: the good and the bad’, fat is a very crucial part of the human body. We cannot function without fat, since the body uses it as the source of energy during the day – while sitting, standing, doing light tasks, working at the desk or even sleeping.
The amount of fat thus used up by the body is too insignificant to promote fat loss. So the answer to a fit and lean body lies in controlling the intake of fat through the food.
An average human body can easily burn around 41 grams of fat for women and 60 grams for men, each day – doing nothing.
When you eat more than these amounts needed by the body for daily processes, it becomes surplus fat and gets stored. Either you burn it off through exercises or let it build up on and on. It’s that simple.
PS: The figures of 41 grams and 60 grams may slightly vary, depending on the individual’s physique and fitness levels. But I feel that it is better to err on the lower side, if you are looking for results.
