Components Crucial to Weight Loss Many fat loss studies have been conducted through the decades. Most recently, blueberries have been found to help with increasing fat oxidation rates. Exercise is a proven treatment for obesity through the years without much debate. There is some confusion and debate with the amount of fat lost when it comes to the macronutrient's fat, protein, and carbohydrates when compared with one another.  Exercise Exercising produces the hormone irisin, which burns the white fat cells that store fat, and creates brown fat cells that keep burning calories after your done exercising, and according to Dr. Komaroff of Harvard Health, "We already have a proven treatment that profoundly protects our health: exercise" (Publishing, Harvard Health).

Metabolism is Not About Weight Loss or Gain Research has shown that people who consumed more of their daily calories as protein, had a higher metabolic rate (Olsen). You gain weight by taking i
