TRIGLYCERIDES

Remember those fatty acids we talked about ? Guess what happens when they are not used up for energy ? Well , what happens is that they head back into the fat cells , where they “ hook up ” with two other fatty acids and a glycerol molecule , to form what is known as a triglyceride ( triglyceride = 3 fatty acids + 1 glycerol molecule ).
And this is not a good thing …
Triglycerides are problematic because they are much larger than a fatty acid . In fact , they are so large that they cannot leave the fat cells like “ free flowing ” fatty acids could . Because of this , they remain stuck inside the fat cells and become the stubborn , stored body fat that we want to get rid of .
Triglycerides cannot be burned for energy until they are broken down back into those smaller “ free flowing ” fatty acids and released back into the bloodstream . This is why so many people have so many problems with stubborn body fat . They can reduce their calorie intake all they want but as long as they are consuming carbohydrates , those triglycerides are going to remain intact !
So … the question becomes , “ how do we break these triglycerides apart , so that that they can be used for energy ?”
The answer is simple : significant carbohydrate restriction

I know it probably sounds like I ’ m beating a dead horse here , but it is imperative that you understand this : carbohydrates cause insulin to be secreted into the bloodstream . Insulin causes your body to store excess calories as fat AND prevents fat from being released from your fat cells to be burned for energy . To put is simply , carbohydrates = excess body weight and fat storage .
