Intentional fat burning has a great deal of misinformation surrounding it. In this episode, I review various contributions to burning stored body fat including nutritional habits, hormonal levels, ideal circumstances for fat loss, and how fasting plays a productive role.  Also covered are details in regard to:  [2:53]- What macronutrients does the body prefer to use for energy? [7:55]- What does blood glucose in a fasted state tell us?  [9:07]- How the standard eating habits limit our bodies fat burning abilities. [20:40]- What does the body do with extra carbohydrates? [25:53]- If the body does not use protein for fuel, what is it used for?  [27:25]- What happens during fasting? [36:46]- Can one target areas for fat loss?  [38:35]- How does insulin contribute to burning fat? [43:03]- So, WHEN does fat burning begin?
