Stomach growling=burning fat

[krayziefresh]

When your stomach growls, it doesn't necessarily mean you're hungry; it is a sign that your body is burning fat for fuel. Has anybody else heard this fact before or is this news to a lot of people?

Well I saw this on the news, I'm not talking about having gas.

That has to be the most rediculous thing I've ever heard. I lost 48 pounds in 14 weeks the first time I dieted down and I don't remember my stomach growling. Guess the fat loss was in my head. In fact I rarely notice my stomach growling ever. Also liquid moving through the intestines is not gas, that'd be diarrhea my friend.

My guess is that whoever you heard this from is implying that if you're stomach is growling then it is empty therefore you are burning stored calories. I'd say that would be obvious. But if it means that when your stomach growls it is some tell-tale signal of your body switching to fat burning mode then someone has been smoking something they shouldn't be.

You don't have to get defensive about it, holy cow. I said it was on the news, you can write in and give them your opinion if you want

Stomach noises are usually from air pockets displacing liquid in the stomach. It has nothing to do with your body using fat as fuel.

stomach growling = stomach eating itself. At that point your probably eating away at muscle, catabolism is great if you want to look like Kate Moss. I don't buy it at all.
