Boiling Water vs Burning Fat

For those who are working hard on losing fat, here’s an analogy:


Imagine 2 scenarios where you’re

  • boiling the same amount of water on a gas stove
  • using two different pots, and
  • the same amount of heat.
Scenario #1

  • You’re using a pot made of material with a higher heat transfer coefficient.
Scenario #2

  • You’re using a pot made of material with a lower heat transfer coefficient.

Questions:

  • Which pot boils water faster?
    • Answer: Scenario #1
  • How do we make scenario #2 boil water as fast as scenario #1?
    • Answer: Increase the amount of heat in scenario #2
What does this imply?

  1. You can condition your body to be more efficient at burning fat. Or,
  2. You can work harder and longer to burn fat.

Just my humble opinion. Hope this helps.
