Have you ever heard of the lipolytic zone or lipolytic band?
Sportspeople know what it is, even those on Sundays.

LIPOLYTIC BAND = FAT LOSS?

By lipolytic band we mean in fact that type of exercise intensity in which the heart, by increasing the heartbeat to 60% / 65% of VO2max, indicates that the body is burning fat to produce energy. The faster you go and the heart rate increases, the more carbohydrates are consumed.

Therefore to burn fat in training, it would be necessary to enter the lipolytic zone.
True False?
Well, an article that appeared in the Washington Post denies the effectiveness of the lipolytic band, and defines it as a false myth of weight loss .

In fact, experts explain that one thing is lipolysis, or the use of fat as energy, one thing is the loss of body fat.

So everything we know about the fat burning effect of a workout makes no sense if you don’t keep track of the calories and amounts of food we consume.
The classic workouts that take advantage of the lipolytic band for weight loss, on the other hand, do not allow you to burn many calories.

A brisk one-hour walk will burn us two hundred calories yes and no, and whether those calories come from fat or carbohydrates doesn’t matter if we’re not in a calorie deficit.

If you train more intensely for the same time, you will burn more calories, and you could therefore have a better chance of losing weight if we keep an eye on the quantities of food.

So why is the concept of a lipolytic band so successful?
According to Christopher Breen, coach and physiologist, people like to think in simple terms, only to have difficulty losing weight anyway. It would be enough, he explains, to vary the workouts and moderate oneself at the table to obtain the much desired weight loss instead.
