Answer :
Answer: B) Through the process of lipolysis, where stored fat is broken down into fatty acids and glycerol for energy
Explanation: Lipolysis is a process by which triglycerides (a common type of fat stored in the body) are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol. Lipolysis can be triggered by a lack of energy in the body. Thus, fasting, exercise, and certain hormones can all work to induce lipolysis. By breaking down fat stored in the body, lipolysis is an effective method by which the body reduces its fat storage.
Let's go over the other answer choices to determine why choice B is the best answer.
Answer choice A is wrong. Consuming high-fat foods will only result in an increase of fat storage as the body stores fat from the foods it doesn't immediately need to burn.
Choice C is also incorrect. Decreasing protein production will only harm one's health and not do much to decrease fat storage. In fact, decreased protein consumption may actually increase fat storage since amino acids are necessary to create enzymes that aid in breaking down fat.
Choice D is also counter-intuitive to reducing fat storage. Water is an important molecule since it is used in lipolysis to break the bonds in triglycerides and break down fat. By reducing water intake, the body lacks the molecules necessary to break down fats and other macromolecules into smaller components.
