Hi all!
I'm new and at the start of my weight loss journey (44M 5'8" start weight: 235lb current weight:228lb goal:185lb). I'm going to the gym regularly and doing a healthy mix of cardio and resistance training, I've started counting calories again (even though I hate it), am making good food choices, drinking lots of water, and getting plenty of sleep.
My calorie deficit isn't huge, so my progress is slow, but that's the way I want it to be.
But I'm scientist at heart and I'm trying to figure out a way to make my workouts more efficient and so I was looking at how we actually burn fat in the body and trying to figure out how to increase the process.
Now, I'm a scientist at heart, not in practice, so if I make a mistake, please be patient. I will gladly accept any and all well intentioned criticism.
Our body stores fat as triglicerides. To lose fat, we need a combination of enzymes the body produces (ex lipoprotein lipase) and oxygen. The triglycerides break down into carbon dioxide and water which is either breathed out (CO2 and water vapor) or comes out in our waste (water).
So I'm wondering if there's any research (I haven't found any) in how to increase the amount of the enzymes our body produces and increase our blood origination to fuel the the enzymes breaking down the triglycerides.
Does anyone know if this has been researched?
