Types of Fat
HCG and Different Types of fat
There are 3 types of fat in the body: Structural fat, Normal fat, and Abnormal Fat. The fat we are most concerned about is the Abnormal Fat. This is the stuff that gets on our bodies, and it just doesn't want to come off, no matter how hard we try!
Structural Fat
Structural fat is vital for the smooth operation of the body. It is the fat that surrounds and protects your internal organs and provides the cushion in your feet so you can walk without pain. We need this kind of fat.
Normal Fat Reserves
This is the kind of fat that is just under your skin. It is called subcutaneous fat, and the body can freely use it and store it without any problem. Most adults can have about 10 - 20 pounds of normal fat on them without it being called obesity. Over time, however, these fat deposits can grow into more permanent fixtures on our bodies which become less and less accessible to the body for fuel.
Abnormal Fat Reserves
Just like the name states, abnormal fat is not normal. Abnormal fat builds up in the strangest and unflattering places. Guys usually get the 'Love Handles', 'Beer Guts' and 'Man Boobs'. Women suffer with 'Thunder Thighs', 'Muffin Tops' and other assundry embarrasments.
As obesity progresses, we start to get extra fat deposits around internal organs such as the heart and lungs which can hamper their proper operation. For each 10 pounds of fat, the body builds 3 miles of blood vessels. This is why obese people have high blood pressure, the heart has to work extra hard to get blood through all these extra miles of vessels.
Abnormal Fat is a potential source of fuel for the body, but unlike Normal Fat, it is not normally available to the body for energy. It has become 'Locked Away' like a safe deposit box, without a key to get at it!
Even in starvation mode, Abnormal Fat is utilized only after all other energy sources are used up. This is why the body will burn lean body mass (mostly muscle) before it gets to the Abnormal Fat reserves.
