Fat Loss
Weight loss and fat loss as a goals require the control of one or more of the fundamental processes behind what is known as 'energy balance'. In simple terms, calorie intake, utilization of energy/metabolic rate and energy expended. The products found in this category all have potential to affect one or more of these processes and can therefore play a role in the goal of 'fat loss'. It is worth mentioning that our products are designed to aid people who put in the hard work, you will not find magical diet pills or weight loss pills here!
Energy is liberated by catabolic processes which is the breaking down of large compounds to smaller ones. This energy is used to maintain bodily functions such as digestion, metabolizing food, thermoregulation (heat control), physical activity and adaptations. The amount of energy liberated per unit time is known as the metabolic rate, which is subject to change. Metabolic rate depends on age, activity levels, weight, muscle mass, gender and body type of the individual (which is genetically influenced). The amount of energy needed to keep these functions going is seen as the ‘energy output’, which equals the calories needed to be used, shown below: Energy output = External Work (i.e. exercise) + Energy Storage + Heat (all seen as metabolism.) When energy intake is taken into account in order to have an energy balance, intake must equal output. There are 3 states of energy balance; positive, negative and balanced as depicted in the equations below: Energy Output is equal to Energy Intake (Balanced) Energy Output is less than Energy Intake (Positive Energy Balance) Energy Output is greater than Energy Intake (Negative Energy Balance) In a negative energy balance the person will draw energy from fat and glycogen stored within the body to meet energy requirements. Therefore weight loss will occur as insufficient energy is being supplied to maintain bodily functions. This is the scenario that people dieting are trying to achieve. In a positive energy balance, the excess energy will be stored as glycogen, fat or used for anabolic processes, whereas in a balanced state the body will maintain weight and function. To allow for adaptations and gains, it is important for the individual to have a positive energy balance which is achieved when more calories are consumed than are required to maintain normal bodily functions. However, it is important not to eat too much as the fat gain would be detrimental, usually an excess of 300-500 kcals is more than appropriate. The one thing that remains consistent across all advice, irrespective of body type/somatotype is that adequate amounts of protein must be consumed when wanting to loose body fat. Therefore in order to make the correct dietary adjustments carbohydrate and fat intake must be manipulated in preference to protein. This is further explored in The Supplement Guide found in the research section of the website.
