how can i burn off the saturated fat that i ate?

youngstackle asked:


i was looking up how i could burn off the saturated fat online, but there’s nothing but “dont eat saturated fats, saturated fats are bad.. blah blah blah” and i run but i was wondering is running or doing cardio the only way to burn off the saturated fat or do saturated fats stay in the body like trans fat?

    Slim down – remove fat

    The key to burning ANY fat is burning calories. As a general rule, every one pound of body fat is essentially 3500 calories. To burn one pound of fat per week you must cut 500 calories/day from your diet or burn an extra 500 calories with exercise. Multiply the number of pounds by 3500, then divide the total number by the number of days that you want as a goal. I will tell you that 3-4lb is a safe maximim. You don’t want to cut your caloric intake under 1200 calories, if you do you’ll put your metabolism into starvation mode and you’ll burn less calories no matter what you do.

    Running and cardio are not the only way to burn fat since sitting around the house doing nothing all day will burn fat as well. The key is to make sure that your caloric intake is less than your output. Whenever you eat less than your body needs at baseline, you have to dip into your stored fat. Your fat doesn’t distinguish between saturated, unsaturated, and trans when it’s storing fat, it’s all just fat.

    I hope this helps.
