Understanding Fat Will Help You Eliminate The Unnecessary Fat

A lot of people fail when it comes to eliminating fat around their midsection and I believe it's because many really don't understand how fat works within your body! To be honest with you, you probably won't be able to completely eliminate fat because it's our backup source for energy. Your body's primary fuel source comes from carbohydrates and when your body uses up all the carbs, it reaches out to the stored fat for more energy. So, your body will always have fat. How much of it will depend on how much you consume through eating and drinking. Also, here's something that you may or may not know: When you eat an excess amount of carbohydrates, your body would store the rest as "fat". So, you definitely want to be sure that you eat the recommended amount of good carbs versus the bad carbs. You can find a more in depth view of carbohydrates in my other post here http://thetruthfulblog101.blogspot.com/2017/05/carbohydrates-understanding-how-to.html. But for now, the focus will be on understanding how to eliminate unnecessary body fat.

Here's some facts about Fats that you need to know:

Fat contains more energy than any nutrient 

Fat provides 9 calories per gram

There are 4 different types of fat (Saturated, Transfat, Polyunsaturated, Monounsaturated)

Mono & Polyunsaturated fats are the healthier fats

Saturated and Transfat are the bad fats

To eliminate most of the belly fat around your midsection, you will have to cut down on the saturated and transfats. Now, for those who are thinking about just cutting out fats period; Hold that thought! That route will be like a suicide mission & you don't want to starve your body of fats. Here's why that's not a wise choice. Our bodies was perfectly made to protect us in the event that you can't eat at regular intervals. In the case that you don't eat, your body will hold on to the stored fat and slowly feed the main organs of the body to help keep you alive until you can replenish it with the nutrients it needs. People may see some results starving themselves, but as soon as they start back eating regularly, their weight returns. So, I will urge to stay away from starving yourself and eat quality food that contains the healthier fats so they can provide nutrients for your body.

So, you're probably wondering how much fat should you eat on a daily basis, right? That's a great question and I've came across many different answers and I'd like the recommendation that the American Heart Association (AHA) has. They recommend that adults should consume around 5% to 6% of calories from saturated fats. To put that in perspective, let's say that you're on a 2,000 calories a day plan. 5 to 6% of those calories equals to 100-120 calories a day. If you're on a different daily calorie intake, then use the following formula to come up with your recommended amount of calories.

5/100 = 0.05    0.05 x 2,000 =100
6/100 = 0.06    0.06 x 2,000 = 120

I converted 5% to decimal form by dividing it by 100 (5/100), which equals 0.05
Then, I took 0.05 and multiply it by the daily calorie intake, which is 2,000 (0.05 x 2,000) to come up with 100. If you follow the same format for 6%, it will give you 120 as your answer.

Even though saturated is one of the bad fats, you still need a little bit of them in your body. It's when we consume too much of the saturated fats, that causes the problems in our bodies.

So, the next time you eat something, take a look at the nutritional label (usually on the back of the product) and examine just how much saturated fat it has in it. You'll be surprised on how much some foods contains.

I will also be breaking down foods that are within the different 4 fat classes in the near future. So, comment, share, and like this blog and remember that I'm always open for feedback. If there's anything that you would like for me to talk about, request it.

Why you must have a plan Inside and Outside of the Gym?

Sometimes, we have a habit of looking at another individual fitness results from the outside and automatically think that it came easy. I would like to pause for a few seconds to let you all know that I was definitely guilty in that regard. I was grateful enough to be able to speak to a few individuals that have achieved the results that I desired to have. Even though I was busting my behind doing a lot of high intensity workouts, I still wasn't getting my desired results. For the record, I was never huge or big in any type of way. I was real skinny but lack the tone and muscle definition that I wanted to have. That's when I was guided to studying and examining the back of food labels (Hence the outside plan my title is referring to). Once I've gained the discipline and the will to do so, I've gained clarity on a whole lot of things. So, my challenge to you is to go upon that same path. I want you to see how "understanding" the types of food you consume plays a major role of shaping your body.


Even though I can make you aware of some things, I can't make you want to do it. That's a decision you must make with yourself. I've met plenty of people who mentioned that they would like to learn about the effects of certain foods but look for me to just give them all the answers. Ladies and gents, that's the wrong concept to have plus I don't have all the answers. I'm too busy studying and focusing on a ton of new things that's coming out. I spend time researching them to see if it will benefit my body in anyway. Now, don't get me wrong; I have no problem discussing things with people, but just know that you have to be accountable and take some initiative yourself. Go ahead and conduct your own research, jot down things that don't make sense to you, and then we can talk about it. If you can take the time to do just that, then that tells me a lot about you.


Throughout my fitness journey, I've completed and attempted so many types of exercises. I've found that over time, your body will get used to a certain routine. There's debates out there about how long your body will get used to them. I'm not going to get into the debates, but just know that your body will. I believe you should switch up your workouts every now and then. It could be every 3 weeks, every 2 months, 6 months, whatever you may decide. Doing different types will only benefit your body.


Remember, keep doing different types of exercises and take the time to understand the types of foods that's entering your body. Once you make the decision to understanding the foods, the easier your plan will be to achieve your desire body.

Commit To Be Fit

When it comes to fitness, there's one rule that I consistently abide by and that's commitment. sets the tone for everything else that follows. That rule is "COMMIT TO BE FIT"!!!! So, it didn't matter how long it took me, it didn't matter what I was going through, as long as I kept that commitment, I knew it was going to happen. Here's another thing that I want to point out: "BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN DO IT"

I've came across of lot of individuals throughout my fitness journey that just didn't had that belief. So, what did I do? Well, I believed in them until they believe for themselves! I'll admit that it takes time and everyone is not on the same level when they first make a commitment like that. Your mind is the one that needs to be convincing and then your body will follow. Motivation and Inspiration are 2 things that I've found to be very contagious and it will help others conquer their goals. So, to all of my people out there who are motivating and inspiring others, I salute to you all!!!

If you need any motivation, then don't be afraid to subscribe to my blog as I'll share some motivation time and time again. I know that I can't be around you physically, so hopefully the words in my blog will be motivating enough!!

In addition to your commitment and fitness goals, I would like to share with you to be smart about supplements that you may be using. I'd prefer supplements that are more of a natural state rather than those that are artificially created. The following supplement that I'm recommending is for those who are looking for alternative ways to help burn fat and decrease their belly size. Before I mentioned the supplement, I want you to remember this: "There's no magic pill or supplement that can help you get fit or lose belly fat ALONE" It's that combination of healthy eating and exercise that will ultimately get you to that level.
