adipose tissue

What: "The usual anti-obesity herbal formulations have thermogenic effect which naturally tends to stimulate appetite. Adipose tissue (Fats) is like wax which melts on heating and becomes hard when cooled down. The thermogenic (heat generating) herbs are essential while considering obesity regime. In classical textbooks of Ayurveda, out of 29 herbs mentioned for obesity treatment, 20 of them are found in appetite stimulating formulations."

What: "Adipose tissue is like a rechargable battery thats contantly being charged and used. When insulin is high it increases the inflow of fatty acids into the adipose tissue and prevents them from leaving the adipose tissue. So if you're low carb, fatty acids (from all the fat youre eating) go in and out of your adipose tissue all the time, but never build up because insulin is not around to prevent the fatty acids from leaving the adipose cells. So you never get fat. It's actually pretty much impossible."

What:

"This is more than twice as much of the energy carbohydrates and proteins give you, with each of those only providing four calories per gram. This ability to pack more calories per gram allows you to store a lot of energy without adding significantly to your body size. In this way, adipose tissue is like those vacuum seal storage bags that allow you to store a big pile of clothing in a compressed package."
