If you lose most of your body fat thru dieting, what happens to your fat-soluble vitamins and other compounds?

If I remember correctly from my college days, you have a higher chance of developing a toxicity to the fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E & K), since they are stored in the fat and are not water soluable.  If you lose much of your body fat, you will lose many of the vitamins stored there.  However, with a balanced diet and a daily vitamin supplement (if needed), you won't become vitamin deficient.\n\nGood question!

Yes.  Taking too much of anything can hurt your body.  There are two types of vitamins: water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins.  If the vitamin is water-soluble (e.g. vitamin C), it would take a lot of it to hurt your body, because it dissolves in water and will be excreted during urination.  However, if the vitamin is fat-soluble, it will be absorbed into your fat and remain in your body for a while.  Too much of a fat-soluble vitamin will be toxic.  That's why you should follow the "percentage of recommended daily intake" label on the side of the bottle.

Nothing much, you just consuming extra protein. If you eat too much you will get fat or you will start to have health problems if the %% of set amino acids is over healthy set limits.

Several studies indicate that the composition of weight loss is more favorable with a diet lower in carbohydrate and higher in either fat or protein. In one recent study, there was similar weight loss after 10 weeks of dieting in overweight women who consumed a diet of 30% protein, 41% carbohydrate, and 19% fat versus a diet that had equal calories consisting of 16% protein, 58% carbohydrate, and 26% fat. However, the higher protein and lower carbohydrate diet resulted in significantly greater loss of fat and retention of lean body mass. In another study, fat loss was greater after 6 months of a high protein diet versus a high carbohydrate diet (both diets were equal in fat). Higher protein intake has also been shown to result in better weight maintenance after weight loss. These are a few of the many studies showing that diets lower in carbohydrate and higher in protein lead to greater fat loss and preservation of lean body mass. Simply substituting some carbohydrates in your diet with a protein shake can lead to beneficial changes in your body composition.

ONLY water-soluble vitamins pass through! If you over-ingest fat-soluble vitamins, you'll get sick, potentially fatally sick. Water-soluble vitamins include vitamin C and vitamin B, because your body cannot process them itself. Fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin D can be produced without food.\n\nVitamins themselves do not contain calories because they are only micronutrients. Macronutrients (fat, CHO, protein) are what have calories. "Waste" (i.e., poop) is the part of the food that your body cannot extract nutrition from. If you eat 500 calories, you absorb 500 calories. But if you eat food that you cannot fully digest (like some vegetables with indigestible fiber), you'll excrete a lot ofthe vegetable because they are very low in CHO, fat, protein and, ultimately, calories.

Vitamins A, D, and E are lipids.  They are stored in your body fat and released on an "as needed" basis.  The B complex and C vitamins are water soluble and therefore need to be replenished on a daily basis.  All vitamins are used as your body requires so adsorption is independent of intake.

It's a conclusion that you reach with all the evidence before you pointing to an inevitable result.  For instance, if you have a low metabolic rate and yet have a diet containing a high proportion of saturated fats and do little or no exercise, the natural conclusion is that you will become morbidly obese and may die at an earlier age than you would eating a healthier diet.

Lean muscle would first be consumed if you starve. Fat is stored because your body goes into starvation mode and stores all fat for later use. By starving or even skipping meals your body not only losing lean muscle mass, but you can also completely whack out your metabolism in a day.

Depends...if you begin taking lean system 7 and make no changes to your diet and excercise habits then it will do nothing.\n\nHowever, if you make changes in your lifestyle then results may be seen. In a controlled study people not on 7 lost 0.57% of their body fat while the group on it lost 1.8%- which is about 6 pounds more on average.

it will do what it does. but if you are still eating over your maintenance calorie level, you won't lose anything. learn how to eat correctly and exercise correctly then throw supplements into the mix.

Consume less calories than your body needs to function on a daily basis. Calorie deficit will cause your body to shed fat. However, if you cut back TOO drastically your body thinks it's in trouble, and your metabolism shuts down. A good balanced diet, and at least moderate exercise. There are NO quick cures; there are no miracle diets. REALLY!

Unfortunately, we cannot "spot reduce" fat from our bodies. That is, the fat you lose will be lost evenly throughout your body with overall excersize and diet, not just the particular area you are excersizing. I recommend Cardio and diet. Cardio and diet.

The weight you initially lose in a low carb diet is water. The body needs carbs to burn to make energy. It's not going to get much from your fat cells, but rather your muscle cells. Every professional I have talked to highly discourages low carb diets.

from what I learned in my anatomy class, when you gain fat cells you never lose them. They shrink when you lose weight. Thats why overweight people have to stick with a healthy lifestyle after they lose a bunch of weight because its so easy to enlarge those fat cells again if they go back to bad eating habits.

no,  i don't think so.  vitamin C is water soluble, basically that  means  you pee  out the excess  nutrients. Fat soluble vitamins can become  toxic because your  body stores them  in your  tissues  and can retain toxic levels.
