What happens when you diet and exercise

What happens to body fat when you shed pounds — do you sweat it out, pee it out or breathe it out? The answer is yes, yes and yes. Advertising Policy Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit academic medical center. Advertising on our site helps support our mission. We do not endorse non-Cleveland Clinic products or services. Policy How on earth does this happen? “It helps to understand that our bodies are designed to store excess energy in fat cells,” says endocrinologist Bartolome Burguera, MD, PhD. If you’re carrying extra pounds, it means you’re taking in more energy (calories are units of energy) than you’re using. “The extra energy is stored in adipose tissue all around your body in the form of triglycerides,” says Dr. Burguera. Smaller amounts of energy are stored in your liver and muscles as glycogen.

How does your body use energy? In more ways than you’d think:

When you’re resting. Your heart needs energy to pump, your lungs to breathe and your brain to think. (That’s your basal metabolism.) Your heart needs energy to pump, your lungs to breathe and your brain to think. (That’s your basal metabolism.) When you’re active. Your muscles need energy whether you’re only getting up from a chair or running a marathon. Your muscles need energy whether you’re only getting up from a chair or running a marathon. When you’re eating. Your digestive system needs energy to break down and store food.

What happens to body fat when you diet?

When you diet, you take in fewer calories than your body needs. Because of this deficit, your body turns to fat reserves for energy.

The byproducts of fat metabolism leave your body:

As water, through your skin (when you sweat) and your kidneys (when you urinate).

As carbon dioxide, through your lungs (when you breathe out).

“Meanwhile, fat breakdown liberates energy for biological functions and physical activity,” he says. “It also generates heat, which keeps body temperatures normal.”

What happens to body fat when you exercise?

Your muscles first burn through stored glycogen for energy. “After about 30 to 60 minutes of aerobic exercise, your body starts burning mainly fat,” says Dr. Burguera. (If you’re exercising moderately, this takes about an hour.) Experts recommend at least 30 minutes of cardio two to three times a week. They also recommend weightlifting and resistance training. Increasing muscle mass may help you burn more calories and raise your basic metabolic rate. Exercise also increases your respiratory rate, so more CO2 leaves your body when you work out.

About exercise and weight loss

“Exercise is key to weight loss and to maintaining that weight loss,” says Dr. Burguera. But it may take time to move the number on your scale, so be patient. Everyone’s response to exercise varies: Some people lose weight, others maintain it, and a few may even gain a few pounds. “Generally, however, people who successfully lose weight and keep it off tend to be physically active — up to an hour per day,” he says. “Engaging in some form of exercise three times per week is highly recommended.”

Does taking fish oil break a fast?

Whether you're fasting for health or weight loss, omega-3 won't break your fast and is safe to take, even on an empty stomach. Being a pure oil, omega-3 won't take you out of ketosis either.

barebiology.com - Omega-3 & Keto, Intermittent Fasting, Paleo | Bare Biology

Whether you’re eating like a caveman, refusing all carbs or cramming all your meals into an eight-hour window, you may have wondered if your dietary plan is compatible with your daily dose of fish oil. After all, they didn’t exactly have omega-3 supplements in the paleolithic era. And couldn’t the calories in that fish oil undo all your hard work, by throwing you out of ketosis or breaking your fast?

Well first of all, it’s important to remember that while paleo, keto and intermittent fasting all have their health benefits, any big change in the way you’re eating could see you missing out on some vital nutrients. Skipping dinner? There goes your most vitamin-packed meal of the day. Eliminating carbohydrates? You’ll have cut out a huge swathe of healthy foods. And if you can’t track down (or afford) paleo-friendly grass-fed meat or wild-caught fish every day, you’ll be missing out on lots of essential fats, too. That’s why it’s so important to carry on taking omega-3. Keeping up with your normal supplement regime will ensure you’re still getting plenty of essential fatty acids that are vital for general good health, no matter what style of eating you’re trying. But when’s the best time to take your supplement if you’re fasting? Is omega-3 paleo? And could fish oil take you out of ketosis? Find out the answers to all of this and more in our guide.
