FAT = ENERGY

Yes it's true! Your body wants and need ENERGY to function - whether it be OXYGEN or CARBOHYDRATES, PROTEIN OR LIPIDS (FATS).

Your body will "borrow" calcium from parts of your body and transport it to a site where it is needed. It's all done for you and you don't have to even think about it. Your part in the process of meeting ENERGY needs is taking in food that will GIVE you energy then BURNING it off (exercising) or just generally living your life.

Most people think that FAT is bad, truth is you need some for a balnced BMI and for your body to function and be protected. There's nothing wrong with a bit of "cushioning"to protect your organs.

Here's the main point - YOUR BODY MAKES FAT. Fat is ENERGY that is STORED by your body. FAT is the only form that ENERGY can take if it is going to be stored for the LONG-TERM. Your body will have a SHORT-TERM supply and a LONG-TERM supply. It is obvious that if you TAKE IN a lot of energy 9food etc0 and don't BURN it off, your body will MAKE FAT as it is storing this energy - that is how people gain FAT to their body.

Genetics DOES have an influence as METABOLISM ans natural MASS/WEIGHT are hereditary to an extent.

Next time you see/meet a person that you may observe as having a bit of excess FAT (I'm sorry if that isn't PC), you can instead think to yourself - WOW this person has lots of STORED ENERGY.
