To achieve successful weight control, you must correct the balance between the amount of fat and calories consumed in the diet and the amount of fat and calories used in your body's metabolic processes.

Fat is stored in the body as triglycerides. These units are composed of three molecules of fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule. Triglycerides are stored in cells called adipocytes that are grouped together to form adipose tissue, more commonly known as body fat. In a process called lipolysis, triglycerides are broken down to their constituent fatty acids and glycerol so the body can use them as energy.

You can enhance your body's weight management by increasing your metabolism to achieve greater thermogenesis, the body's natural process of using more energy and burning more fat. You can literally burn more fat by increasing your body's heat production through thermogenesis. This raising of your body's core temperature occurs naturally, especially after a meal, and some herbs and nutrients can promote it.
