If the brain recognizes that we are not active and is storing tons of excess fat, why won’t it start to expel it if it’s causing health issues? I feel like the brain should understand that humans shouldn’t be 600 lbs and it should realize that it doesn’t need to store all of that potential energy
In: Biology
You can’t poop out fat that has been transformed from excess sugars in your blood. Feces is what could not pass through the lining of your digestive tract. Your body converts the excess sugars into fat for storage to be used at a later time when blood sugars are low. Low blood sugar is indicated by decreased insulin hormone levels. When insulin levels are low the pancreas releases glucagon which triggers the body to use its stored fat for energy. Both fat and sugars are complex hydrocarbons and will break down to form H20 and CO2, they can only leave the body as water or be exhaled as CO2 and H2O vapor not feces.
