Fat Burning Tips - Less Effective Metabolism Can Reduce Obesity

Posted on March 26th, 2010.

Fat burners know that good fat burning tips include to up your dose of thermogenic output. Wrong! New study shows that fat burning does not necessarily require making thermogenesis easier; by making it harder and forcing the body to use less effective methods to stay warm, the same goals can be reached. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/10/081003122756.htm

Thermogenesis is the process of heat production in organisms. Or, as fat burners know:

the generation of heat, particularly in brown fat deposits, which the body burns excess food thereby increasing the metabolic rate above normal. Hooray! Humans need to burn fat in order to maintain body temperature. Stands to reason that those of us who can burn fat more readily and easier, referred to as having a larger thermogenic potential, are less likely to become obese. In fact, this study may imply otherwise and change the rules of the top 10 fat burning tips.

Scientists knocked-out two thermogenic genes in mice, (lowering their thermogenic potential) fed them high fat diets and kept them in cool temperatures, around 68 degrees Fahrenheit. What they found was the mouse’s white fat cells activated alternate, and less efficient, fat burning pathways, making them less susceptible to obesity. The mice had to burn more fat in order to stay warm. Because it was in less efficient ways, even more fat was utilized.

While I don’t recommend fat burning tips that include lowering your room temperature and to up your metabolism, everyone knows we burn more fat when we move around. Moving around is part of staying warm. For the mice, inefficiency proved to be beneficial, as the mice had to burn more fat than normal to stay warm (think of the amount of wood used in an open fire place versus an efficient wood burning stove to heat a room). What is also encouraging to note is, that after the mice were put back in warmer climates, around 82 degrees Fahrenheit, they retained the alternate fat burning pathways. Yippie!
