How Red Light Therapy Naturally Stimulates Fat Loss

When we talk about weight loss, we’re talking about fat. But did you know there’s more than one kind of fat? Let’s break it down.

The fat in the body is split into two categories: brown fat and white fat. White fat has fewer mitochondria in it. That means it burns stored calories at a slower rate. It is responsible for storing calories and is composed primarily of triglycerides (fat), giving it its white color.

Brown fat has far more mitochondria in it (hence the brown color). It’s responsible for maintaining our body heat in cold conditions and regulating our weight in normal conditions.

Where does Red Light Therapy come in?

Red light stimulates your mitochondria, the powerhouse of your cells, to burn calories faster and more efficiently. This is what reduces the size of white fat cells. But even more exciting is the possibility that Red Light Therapy can help transform white fat into brown fat.

Pesky belly fat and cellulite on legs is basically an overaccumulation of white fat cells. White fat cells that burn calories very…. very…….. very……….. slowly.

Red Light Therapy can set off a positive chain reaction in white fat cells where more mitochondria are created. More mitochondria means more calories being burnt… which means less fat.

This is a process called mitochondriogenesis.

White fat cells gain mitochondria, which helps them burn the calories off faster. This effectively turns them into brown fat cells. While more studies are required to confirm this, the initial dta we have is promising.

It’s thought that Red Light Therapy creates “holes” in the wall of fat cells. This allows triglycerides to escape into the blood and get filtered out of the body. This is a good thing. It means the light is quite literally melting the fat off.

It’s a one-two punch of energy production and fat loss.

Drawbacks and Limitations of Red Light Therapy for Weight Loss

As with any therapy, being aware of potential drawbacks is important before you start. What are the drawbacks you can expect?

Without any changes to your diet or lifestyle, the results from Red Light Therapy alone are not likely to be outstanding. If you eat McDonalds or a standard American diet, you’ll likely continue to gain weight.

If everything in your lifestyle supports further weight gain, that’s exactly what’s going to happen.

Second, like most lifestyle changes, Red Light Therapy requires consistency. You likely won’t see results after just one session. Expect to see results after consistent application for weeks to months afterward.

Lastly, you may need a larger and more expensive device to trigger fat loss across larger areas of your body. However, you can purchase a Red Light Therapy belt like this one to easily target specific areas (pets love it, too).
