Detailed explanation-1: -We’ve all heard the term ‘fat-burning’, but how does it really happen in the body? Fat cells in the body release a hormone that signals to the brain that there is enough energy stored. This triggers your body to burn energy stored as fat.
Detailed explanation-2: -The muscles, lungs and heart pick up these fatty acids, break them apart, and use the energy stored in the bonds to execute their activities. The scraps that remain are discarded as part of respiration, in the outgoing carbon dioxide, or in urine. This leaves the fat cell empty and renders it useless.
Detailed explanation-3: -If you eat excess calories, your body stores the energy as glycogen or fat to use at a later time. These compounds get stored in your liver, muscles and fat cells. Over time, continually eating excess calories causes your body fat stores to expand, resulting in weight gain.
