Fat Burning Nutrition: Key Definitions

Glucose

It is also called blood sugar.

Your body uses glucose as its principal source of energy. When you eat, your body turns food into glucose. Glucose gives your body the energy it needs to function. Each cell in your body gets glucose from your bloodstream. Glucose, without the presence of insulin, would not be an energy source for your body.

Insulin

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps your body use glucose for energy. During each meal that you eat, insulin enters your bloodstream. In the presence of insulin, the cells of your body will turn to glucose as their source of energy.

The Centerpiece of Fat Burning Nutrition

Regulating the amount of Insulin that is released into your body, is the centerpiece of fat burning nutrition. It controls your weight gain or weight loss. It may be helpful to think of insulin as “standing guard” over the cells of your body. It can be helpful to think of it as the key that unlocks the door of the cells so that glucose can enter. When an excess of insulin enters your bloodstream after eating, insulin converts the food into glucose. Glucose gives your body the energy it needs to function. The cells take the glucose it needs and stores the rest as fat. This results in flab.

Excess insulin in your blood also prevents the burning of fat. Too much insulin released into your bloodstream, after eating, will cause you to get fat.
