Fat is one of the three main classes of food. It has many meanings, and the only good description is in technical terms. There are triglycerides, fatty acids, sterols, but "fat" may also refer to adipose tissue.\n\nThe main constituents of both animal fat and vegetable oils are triglycerides, that is glycerin molecules with three fatty acids attached. Nutritional fat is a mixture of many types of triglycerides, which differ in the length of their fatty acid chains, as well as the number and position of single and double bonds between their carbon atoms. Fat molecules contain only oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon atoms.\n\nVitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble meaning they can only be digested, absorbed, and transported in conjunction with fats. Fats are sources of essential fatty acids, an important dietary requirement.\n\nFats play a vital role in maintaining healthy skin and hair, insulating body organs against shock, maintaining body temperature, and promoting healthy cell function. They also serve as energy stores for the body. In food, there are two types of fats: saturated and unsaturated. Saturated fat is a sort of a straight chain of carbon connected or bonded with 2 molecules of hydrogen. At the very beginning of this chain is a molecule of oxygen and a molecule of hydroxide. Unsaturated fat is the same thing with one major exception; some of those carbon atoms are not bonded with two hydrogen atoms so it becomes a very "fluid" state. Fats are broken down in the body to release glycerol and free fatty acids. The glycerol can be converted to glucose by the liver and thus used as a source of energy. The fatty acids are a good source of energy for many tissues, especially heart and skeletal muscle.\n\nAdipose tissue\n \nAdipose, or fatty tissue is the human body's means of storing metabolic energy over extended periods of time. Depending on current physiological conditions, adipocytes store fat derived from the diet and liver metabolism or degrades stored fat to supply fatty acids and glycerol to the circulation. These metabolic activities are regulated by several hormones (i.e., insulin, glucagon and epinephrine). The location of the tissue determines its metabolic profile: "Visceral fat" (around the abdomen) is prone to lead to insulin resistance, while "peripheral fat" (around the limbs) is much more harmless.\n\nMetabolism\n \nThe metabolism of lipids is a closely regulated system in virtually all lifeforms. It is affected by a variety of enzymes and, in higher organisms, regulated by hormones. Research is ongoing on the relative influence of various hormonal regulators on the anabolism (production) and catabolism (breakdown, also termed lipolysis) of fatty molecules.\n\nA subject of particularly close study is cholesterol, levels and types of which are influenced by the fatty acid metabolism and is known for its role in development of nerve cells atherosclerosis. Thus the suggesting that fat people are more sensitive to pain, particulairly in their abdominal region.\n\nAdipose tissue in detail. \n\nAdipose tissue is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes. Its main role is to store energy in the form of fat, although it also cushions and insulates the body. It has an important endocrine function in producing recently-discovered hormones such as leptin, resistin and TNFα.\n\nAnatomical features\n\nAdipose tissue is primarily located beneath the skin, but is also found around internal organs. In the skin, it accumulates in the deepest level, the subcutaneous layer, providing insulation from heat and cold. Around organs, it provides protective padding. It also functions as a reserve of nutrients.\n\nIn a severely obese person, excess adipose tissue hanging downward from the abdomen is referred to as a panniculus (or pannus). A panniculus complicates surgery of the morbidly obese, and may remain as a literal "apron of skin" if a severely

The type of food doesn't matter. Your body just stores fat from the calories you consume wherever it wants to. If you want more shape behind, you just have to gain a little weight and do some muscle-building exercises.

In general, unless you are already have a low percent of body fat, you will loose body fat in the reverse order you put it on.  That is, if your belly then your chest, then your rear increased in size as you gained weight - it will loose it in rear, chest, belly order.\n\nAlthough you can exercise muscles at a specific area, the fat does not go away in that particular area. So doing sit-ups is excellent, but none of it will show till you get rid of the fat... But because of the order it might be th last thing that shows.

Questions about fat burning and spot toning/reducing are our most popular question. The short answer is that you cannot spot reduce, and the way to burn fat is through aerobic exercise, which burns lots of calories; resistance exercise, which builds muscle (muscle is the engine that burns calories and maintains your metabolic rate); and then watch your caloric intake. \n\n1. There is a genetic factor that determines where people accumulate fat. Women tend to accumulate it in their hips, buttocks, and thighs, and men tend to accumulate it in their abdomen. The reasons for the differences between sexes have not been identified. Some people accumulate more fat than others, and the reasons for that have not been fully identified either, although there are theories. \n\n2. The fat that accumulates on the hips, thighs, and buttocks, although perhaps not cosmetically appealing, is not dangerous for your health. In fact, there is some evidence that it is actually good for your health. The opposite is true for abdominal fat. That fat has been implicated in heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems. Men with a large pot belly are therefore at increased health risk, whereas women with large hips or thighs are not necessarily at risk, at least not from the fat on their lower extremities. \n\n3. Fat, no matter where it is on the body, belongs to the entire body, so you can't spot reduce, i.e., you can't do sit-ups and lose abdominal fat, and you can't do leg raises and lose thigh fat. \n\n4. Fat is stored in special fat cells called adipocytes located all over the body. You have anywhere from 25 billion to 275 billion adipocytes. The average individual has around 30-35 billion. These adipocytes store fat and they release fat. When they release fat, the adipocyte gets smaller, and when they store fat, the adipocyte gets larger, just like a balloon that you fill with air or release air from. Contrary to popular belief, adipocytes do not divide when they get too big. Instead, what happens is that as an adipocyte absorbs excess fat and increases in size to approximately 15-20 microns (the diameter of a human hair is 100 microns), it sends a biochemical signal to adjacent adipocyte precursor cells called preadipocytes to absorb fat and grow larger. These preadipocytes then become fully mature adipocytes, and as a result, the individual gets fatter. During childhood and into puberty, both the number of mature adipocytes (hyperplasia) and the size of the adipocyte increases. It is believed by many scientists that the number of adipocytes stays fairy stable after adolescence and instead of an increase in the number of adipocytes during adulthood, the mature adipocytes enlarge to increase body fat. However, there is some recent evidence to suggest that the number of mature adipocytes can also increase during adulthood. In any case, what is certain is that excess caloric intake leads to increases in body fat, either through hyperplasia or through enlargement of the adipocyte. \n\nIt should be noted that preadipocytes develop from special cells in the body, and although genes control proteins that control preadipocyte function and development, the process is extremely complex and not well understood, but scientists are busy studying it. \n\nOne other point on this subject. Adipocytes do not disappear when they get smaller. They shrink only to a certain size, and then they just hang around as very tiny adipocytes, and they can always get large again. The only way to get rid of them totally is through liposuction. \n\n5. Adipocytes get large by feeding them. If you eat more calories than you burn, some of the excess carbohydrate will be stored as sugar, or glucose, in the muscles (called glycogen), and the rest of the excess will be stored as fat in the fat cells. If you continue to eat more than you burn, you continue to feed the adipocytes with fat and you get fatter. \n\n6. When you exercise, the adipocytes release fat into the

If you work toward building muscle and reducing body fat you will eventually tackle those trouble spots though, and develop a better physique in the process. Muscle tissue is active meaning it requires calories to be maintained. If you were stranded without a food supply, eventually your body would turn to its own muscle tissue as a source of nutrition first (muscles are protein) while saving the fat stores for last. Simply put, fat is nature's way of ensuring survival during times of famine. That's why the prevalence of heart failure kills someone who is severely malnourished. By building more muscle you become a more efficient energy burning machine which translates to mean you can eat more food! That to me is a good thing. \n\nThe More Active You Are, The More You Get to Eat! \n\nThat explains why some people can eat so much more than others yet not gain weight; your efficient energy burning friend simply has a greater proportion of muscle to fat than you. Muscle is more dense than fat. It's often said that a pound of muscle is heavier than a pound of fat, but the truth is a pound is a pound. What they mean is a one pound volume of muscle is a smaller package than a one pound volume of fat, or put another way, fat is billowy and fluffy while muscle is sleek and compact. Lady No. 1 weighs 120 pounds with 30% body fat so she has 84 pounds of lean tissue and 36 pounds of fat, while Lady No. 2 also weighing 120 pounds but at 18% body fat is carrying roughly 98 pounds of muscle and 22 pounds of fat. Would you rather be Lady No. 1 or Lady No. 2? Which do you think takes up more space, 22 or 36 pounds of fat? I'd say 36 pounds of fat would be a lot bigger package than 22 pounds. \n\nThat is why body weight as a number by itself is meaningless, but your ratio of fat to muscle is very important and worth working to change. Strive to decrease your body fat and increase your muscle mass and you'll look better, you'll feel stronger and more energetic and you'll simply be healthier. \n\nYou can generally have your body fat tested at fitness centers and most gyms so ask about having it done. It's better to know you have 30% body fat and work to reduce it to 29, than not to know and only think in terms of body weight. Most people who think only of how much they weigh tend to do everything to reduce that weight, and it's usually at the expense of losing more valuable muscle. \n\nThe best way to increase muscle and decrease fat is through a consistent exercise program. Start at whatever is your beginning, but do start. \n\nBegin with an overall body conditioning type exercise program, doing whatever you enjoy, whether it be a sport, gardening, weight lifting, biking, hiking, or any other activity. Any physical movement you do regularly counts as exercise even if it is doing laundry or taking out the trash. Get as much as you can out of every chore you do, and stop thinking of it as a chore but instead as an opportunity to move your body. \n\nIn the early 1900s a washing machine was a new invention. People used to wash their clothes by hand, and hang them outside to dry. Being a housewife was actually a pretty strenuous job. It's no wonder women were thankful for modern conveniences like automatic washers and dryers, but now we've come to where our daily activities are not taking our bodies at all, so unless we want to get fatter and fatter we must do something about it. \n\nGet Fit and Belly Fat Disappears\n\nIt doesn't make sense to drive around and around in the parking lot looking for the closest space when you're on your way to run or walk on the treadmill. Why take the elevator five flights every day at work and then pay a monthly fee to do the StairMaster after work? What if we all started to notice that our world is full of exercise equipment. We could become so much more fit if we'd just start to notice all the opportunities for physical movement we miss in the name of convenie

Lean muscle would first be consumed if you starve. Fat is stored because your body goes into starvation mode and stores all fat for later use. By starving or even skipping meals your body not only losing lean muscle mass, but you can also completely whack out your metabolism in a day.

Fat is a certain type of tissue filled with water.  So part of it gets sweated or peed out.  It also gets converted to energy and used up.

Calories are good for you, they are a measurement of energy, which you need. However, there is a reading right next to CALORIES which says CALORIES FROM FAT, and most of the time if the fat is more than 50% of the main caloric intake it is bad. There's a difference between "good" fats and "bad" fats, so you have to know your food groups pretty well. Unsalted peanuts, sunflower seeds, oils, and meats are usually fully saturated with fat from their calories, but these are whole fats which the body takes longer to break down, which means they will burn more calories than something like a donut. These fats are essential, so don't stay away from whole foods that are high in fat. Mainly, look at the sugar content (added sugar) and the grams of carbohydrates.

Body fat is stored up sugars, commonly known as carbs. Natural sugars are a much better form. Like fruit, honey, and natual juices. \n\nFirst step is getting your body to use up the stored energy. Which means less sugars/carbs (because the body naturally stores them) and more proteins (because the body naturally uses them right away. Also foods with Niacin are a bonus. Things like hot peppers if you can handle them. And any type of activity that will keep you moving and make you swet. EX- jogging, bike riding, walking, hiking, and many more.\nAlso a note. Remember that your body will use the closest stored energy first. So if you exorcise your legs then any fat on the legs gets used first.\n\nSecond. When your body really starts to burn the extra stored energy. I would recommend stepping up the exorsice. Weight lifting will really help at this point if you aren't already. To start off, you should use less weight but lift longer. This will wake up any sleeping muscles you already have.\n\nThird. After that you have been pretty much reprogramming your metabolism. You will find that your body will let you know it is time to really increase the exorcises. It will seem that what you do doesn't work you very much any more. This would be a good time to increase weight lifting and finding more physically demanding tasks to complete. For example, something like splitting logs with an axe. But not limited to that.\n\nThe reprogramming of your metabolism is the most difficult part about it. It requires determination to stick with it.

Since breast tissue is composed of mainly adipose tissue (fat), you will want to follow a plan to reduce your overall body fat levels. When you lose body fat, it will come off from all over your body including your breast tissue. Many women actually see most of the initial fat reduction in the breast region, so its a matter of following the right plan to lose this unwanted body fat.

It really depends on how much body fat you have. Generally, you need to get your body fat percent into the single digits.

Your BMI or Body Mass Index calculates how much fat you have compared to your lean body mass..., no fat. It is alright to have between 18% to 22% of body fat..., 25% still alright. If you don't weight training, I would say your weight should be 180 to 190  with a normal frame. If you weight train, these calculates do little to find out your BMI because muscles weighs more than fat. \n\nHope these two links help you out..
