Fat More Or Less
First, the basics, body fat (other wise known as fat cells) are primarily filled with triglycerides. Triglycerides are either made from sugars, in the liver, or eat as fat in your food.
Insulin, the hormone that your body produces to bring your blood sugar down (especially after eating), also drives the uptake of triglycerides, into the fat cells.
In addition to that, fat soluble toxins - can be stored in the fat cells.
In the fat basics article, it was noted body fat is basically triglycerides, and that insulin causes the uptake of triglycerides by the fat cells.
Insulin also causes the body to stop burning fat and to switch to burning sugar (glucose).
A very simple recipe to gain fat fast, is to eat fat and carbohydrates (starches and sugars). The classic food for this would be donuts, pastries or sweet chocolate.
buttered white bread or potatoes and gravy are other good gainers.
These foods, sweet fats, provide your body with a good dose of fat and a good dose of sugars, causing your body to drive the fats into the fat tissue and to convert the sugars into triglycerides, and drive them into the fat tissue too.
A basic way to get your body to burn fat is to greatly reduce the amount of carbohydrates (starches and sugars) you eat. Any high carbohydrate diet is going to impair your ability to burn fat.
