Now, for us to better understand how this diet works,we will be outlining the basic terms, body functions and components that will help us visualize what this Fat Burning Diet is all about.

Glucose is a simple sugar or a monosaccharide. The body produces it from proteins, fats and by large from carbohydrates and it is carried through the bloodstream as the source of primary energy for all cells in the body.

Glucose is oxidized by our body during cellular respiration to produce ATP (Adenosine tri phosphate) which breaks down and provides the energy we use in our everyday activities. Excess glucose is then grouped together and converted into glycogen.

Glycogen on the other hand, is a polysaccharide or a complex sugar and it is made up from many glucose molecules as a way of storing and transporting them en masse.An important thing to remember is that glycogen is soluble in the blood so it can move around the body.

It is formed in the liver from glucose molecules and stored in the liver, muscle tissue and fat cells which acts as an instant energy source as glucose levels in the body falls.
