Thanks for the input, but fats are also sources of calories and are therefore stored as such, and contribute to excess body weight. Unused fats are not simply passed out. Unused fats, like cholesterol, form plaques in blood vessels, which could eventually cause a condition called atherosclerosis and other coronary heart ailments. This is the reason why the concentration of fats in the bloodstream serves as an indicator whether a person has high risk to contracting cardiac diseases.

“Fats are not deposited in the body by the metabolism of carbohydrates”, they have their own metabolism, which is through the endogenous and exogenous pathways. Even if I have not said it directly in the article, that fats could make you fat, I would add now that eating fats could also make you fat because of the triglycerides stored in your adipose adding bulk to your body weight.

My statement “That is why when a person does not exercise; fats are not burned off as energy and are therefore stored as triglycerides in the adipose tissues and the liver.” is true because when you exercise, and all your carbohydrates are exhausted, so your stored fats would now be used as a source of energy, burning them off.

Thanks for reading and taking time to comment. God bless.

Keep going…you’re on the right track.TC

Hi there, you’re just 1 foot away from me, but anyway, I’ll still comment back. Those are not permanent fats, those are baby fats, you could eliminate them through exercise, which would be my next topic. Thanks for the patronage.
