2 Week Weight Loss



2 Week Weight Loss

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.
