Hi Everybody
I have a question regarding protein metabolism. Everyone says that when a person goes on a diet the body will use the muscle and break it down for energy when the body is kept at a state of energy deprivation (if a person is starving himself). Then is it safe to assume that it is easier for the human body to metabolize protein for energy than fat? I know they say that the brown fat located in the mid-section, for men and in the thigh area for women does not have enough blood flow to them for they to be used up properly and quickly. Then theoretically doesn't taking drugs (viagra?) that increase blood flow also increase the rate these areas can be used up?
Sincerely
Frank Mai

The following is quoted from 101weightlossideas.com:
FAT is stored energy. You actually NEED FAT TO LOSE FAT. What makes you fat is CARBS. Except for fiber, all carbohydrates turn directly into sugar in the bloodstream. If you diet without exercising, your body goes into CATABOLISM (loss of muscle). This is why you have to eat more protein (muscle).
If you don’t eat every four hours, your body tends to store whatever food that hasn’t been used for energy now as energy for emergencies (which is body fat). Your body is sacrificing brain tissue, internal organs, skin and muscle mass to supply you with the energy that you need to get through your day. You will find that once you increase your protein intake, you will sleep better, recover faster and have so much more energy.
5 Things to Remember…
1. Avoid & Forgive all negative people, places or things.
2. Don’t let your body go H.A.L.T (Hungry Angry Lonely Tired).
3. Ignore F.E.A.R (False Expectations Acting Real).
4. Love yourself. (Your subconscious mind accepts whatever you choose to believe about yourself.
5. Focus on the 3 P’s: Patience, Priorities and Purpose.
