1) Dietary fats enter the lymphatic system and enter the blood at the left subclavian vein at the back of the heart. They are evenly distributed around the body, so an excess is stored all over the body. Fat increases cholesterol levels, which increases sex hormone levels. In men, increased testosterone increases muscle synthesis, so excess fat is muscle food. In women, increased oestrogen increases breast tissue, so excess fat is boob food.

2) Dietary carbs enter the liver as glucose, fructose & galactose via the portal vein. Excess carbs are converted into triglycerides (sat & mono fats) in the liver and are stored in the liver & nearby. Therefore, excess carbs are belly food.

How does that sound? Cheers, Nige.
