Body Fat

By Todd Lee M.D.

Do you realize your butt is like a grain silo?  No? There is a reason we cant see it, and thats because if we have an intelligent creator he is sparing us the humiliation of seeing all our mistakes on a daily basis.  Do you want to correct this problem?  I bet you do!

There are 2 basic types of adipose (fat) tissue. And 2 basic places your body stores them.

White Fat

White fat is the basic grain silo type of fat cells. It stores the fat for future use as energy.  The white fat cells can grow very large and the larger you get the more they fill! its a downward spiral of getting fatter, so dont fill your fat cells.  

Brown Fat

This type burns fat for energy and was believed not to exist in adult humans. But it turns out it exists in people who exercise HARD. Not zumba, but actual hard work. Like bodybuilding.  Thats right, actually working hard causes your body to burn more fat. Its not just the calories, its your calories per unit time.  300 calories doing the treadmill for 50 minutes sucks, 300 calories doing the leg press for 10 minutes is much better.  This will teach your body to make more of your fat brown fat.  One of the many reasons men burn fat easier than women.  

Subcutaneous Fat

This is the fat under your skin and is good for little in men but attractive in small amounts in women. It allows members of the opposite sex to see that you're capable of making babies and thus attracts sexual attention. To much is a deterrent as is to little. Its almost impossible for men to have body fat that is to low.

Visceral Fat

This is the fat that surrounds the organs and slowly kills you. The fat accumulate here as your insulin sensitivity declines. By eating a high carb diet you drive the fat under your abs instead of on top of them.  Nicotine gum or patches while bulking partially protects again the fat from accumulating there.
