 3 Myths About Burning Fat

It is something that at one point or another we have all struggled with. . . our weight. The trouble with dealing with your weight is that there are so many different programs and philosophies out there that it can be really difficult to know what to believe. Losing weight is hard work and you do not want to be spinning your wheels trying a weight loss method that does not really work. Not only will that be frustrating, but it can also really start to have a negative impact on your self esteem. There are so many weight loss myths out there, and several of the most commonly heard myths are about burning fat. Learning more about this topic will really help you to accomplish your weight loss goals. So let’s get to the bottom of the myths about burning fat!

Myth 1: The body only burns one kind of fuel at a time: fat or carbs, not both.

This is something that has long been misunderstood.  Basically, your body needs both fat and carbs to function properly, and your body will burn both of those as well. That is, at any given moment your body is burning fat and carbs at the same time. The proportion of fat to carbs that your body burns can change during the day, and can change with what type of exercise you do. The good news is that it's not that important to keep track of which type of fuel your body is burning. The important thing is that your body is burning calories and that will help your body to lose fat. The key to losing weight is to burn the most calories that you can so as long as you are burning calories your body is moving in the right direction. 

Myth 2: Low intensity exercise burns more fat than high intensity exercise.

If you are talking from a purely scientific place then this is somewhat true. If you are only expending a minimum amount of energy then you will burn a higher proportion of fat than carbs. However, that does not mean that you will burn more calories doing low intensity exercise than if you were to work out harder. The important thing to remember is that how many total calories you burn during your workout is what will really determine whether or not you are going to be able to drop the unwanted weight. That being said it is important to note that no matter what type of exercise you are doing it is a good thing. If you get yourself moving that is really the key to starting to drop those pounds.

Myth 3: High intensity exercise burns more fat per minute after the first 20 minutes.

Again, technically this could be perceived as being correct. High intensity exercise will cause your body to burn your fat stores for fuel, and as you exercise longer, the proportion of fat may increase slightly. However, the important thing to remember is that in weight loss you want to focus on the total calories burned. Whether those calories come from burning fat or burning carbs does not really matter. Instead, you simply need to work on burning as many calories as you can.
