Tips from Ross Edgley: Part II -
Science of Fat Loss
 Every
man would have intimately attempted to woo a young maiden at some point in their
lives…whether it was the conventional, ‘Table for 2 ’ at restaurant, or the more
relaxed ‘DVD Night’ at home. Regardless of the setting one thing is for sure…the
success of the night is highly dependant upon the preparation that is undertaken
before hand. My point is gentleman, you simply can’t just make you’re way to the
boudoir, there are certain things that must happen prior to this…and this is
exactly what happens when your body begins to burn body fat. Allow me to draw a
comparison:
The
enzyme in the body responsible for breaking down fats is called lipase and the
process of breaking down fats in your body is called lipolysis and this really
happens in two distinct phases; mobilization, or the courting period, and
oxidisation, the ‘end product’ of successful date.
Mobilisation
The
enzyme lipase turns fats, or triglycerides, into three unbound fatty acids (FFA)
and one glycerol molecule, this process is basically the breaking down of fat in
your body for future possible use. Worth noting is that this is merely the
preparation for the use of fat as an energy source, the fat hasn’t been used for
energy at this point or oxidised. Like when you are on a date, the preparation
may be going well….but there is still no guarantee you will be invited in for a
“coffee” at the end of the walk home.
Oxidisation
 Now
oxidation is the point at which the fatty acids that were mobilized are actually
burned. This process must take place if the triglycerides are to be burned,
since un-oxidised triglycerides can be converted back meaning they will have to
be mobilised again. Once again a parallel can be drawn to the wooing of a fair
maiden, even if the courting (mobilisation) is executed to perfection, the
invite into the young ladies apartment (oxidisation) may still not come to
fruition. Thus meaning you will have to begin wooing all over again at a later
date.
I hope
the, ‘fat burning – Courting’ Parallel has worked and I’ve made the science of
fat loss a little clearer for you, if I’ve only complicated matters I’m sorry!
In my next article I shall attempt to explain how your training (both cardio and
weights) can maximise your oxidising and mobilising potential, making you…The
Casanova of Fat Burning! Once again thank you for sitting through another one of
my strange articles. Much love and happy training.
