"Hi, my name is Mike Quebec, and today's subject is how to burn fat. Before we get into that, if you haven't already, please see our other subject matters on looking up calorie expenditure charts, and how to keep track of your calories. All of that factors into this subject, how to burn fat. Basically, when you're burning fat, you're really burning calories. The less calories you take in, and the more calories you use, in a nutshell, that burns your fat. That calls upon your extra energy reserves, and your extra energy reserves, are calories that haven't been used, and calories that haven't been used, turns into fat. What you want to do, is use those up, so in one of our other subjects, we talked about activity factors. All right, so I'm going to go back to that, and relate it to this subject. So for instance, I'm a factor twenty, because I work out more than an hour a day, more than three times a week. Factor twenty times my target weight, which is a hundred and fifty. Twenty times a hundred and fifty, is three thousand calories, but let's say that I wanted to lose even more weight. I have to say this is a misnomer. For my height, one hundred and fifty, is a healthy weight. For me to lose weight, is actually unhealthy, so I'm using this as an example. If I wanted to lose weight. I wanted to burn fat. I would count myself at a lesser activity factor. Factor thirteen is somebody who is sedentary and slightly obese, somebody who isn't very active, and is moderately overweight. If I counted myself at that, factor thirteen times a hundred and fifty, that would bring me to one thousand, nine hundred, and fifty calories a day. For me to continue doing what I do, which is exercising more than an hour. Exercising more than three times a week, but taking in only one thousand, nine hundred, and fifty calories . Counting myself as less of an activity factor than I actually am, I would definitely lose weight, hence, I would burn fat, because my body would then call upon its extra reserves. Stored calories, which is what fat is. Fat is calories that haven't been used, and that would definitely burn the calories, and burn the fat. Burning the fat, which is the subject of this segment, I do have to say this. If you plan on using this formula, please do consult with your doctor first. Rapid weight loss is potentially dangerous for your heart."
