Want to start burning body fat for weight loss? In this article, I will explain to you the best approach to calorie burning in order to achieve better weight loss results. Let’s find out how you can start burning body fat for weight loss.
The human body is designed in a way that it can use carbs, fat or protein to derive energy. The body decides the source to use based on various factors like availability and type of activity, among other things. Particularly while exercising, the body does not choose to burn fat immediately. hence short duration exercises may not be very effective in burning body fat. Here is a short description of the way the human body uses two different sources of energy.
Everything you eat is metabolized and simple sugars are formed in the body. These sugars satisfy the immediate energy requirements of the body. The excess simple carbs are then converted to glycogen and stored in the body. These glycogen stores are called upon when blood sugar begins depleting.
0 minutes to 15 minutes – During this phase, the body uses simple sugar in the blood for its energy requirements. Those who eat a low carb diet have limited glycogen stores in the body. They may lack stamina and feel tired immediately.
Those who work out for short durations tend to burn only carbs and not really burn body fat for weight loss. This may help in maintaining the current weight but, not really in losing weight.
15 minutes to 30 minutes – As the training session progresses further, the body shifts from using simple carbs to utilizing glycogen stores. In order to utilize these glycogen stores to the fullest, one must increase the intensity of the workout. Once the glycogen stores are utilized the body turns towards burning body fat for weight loss.
After 35 minutes of exercise, the body enters the fat burning zone. In this phase, the maximum calories burnt are derived from body fats. How much body fat you burn will depend on the training intensity. A lot of people either stop working out by this time or get tired and reduce the intensity, by doing yoga or other slow exercises. You will be at the losing end in such cases. Although weight loss will occur if you are following the energy deficit law, you may not be burning body fat for weight loss.
Training intensity is as important as training duration in deciding whether the body should be burning carbs or burning body fat for weight loss.
Recent research has suggested that a long-duration, the moderate-intensity aerobic workout is much more effective for weight loss as compared to high-intensity workout. In these long duration exercises, the body utilizes its glycogen stores effectively and starts burning body fat for weight loss.
During high-intense training sessions such as interval running, the human body tends to prefer carbohydrates as the main source of energy as these may be easily accessed and used to fulfill energy needs during the exercise.
The human body uses its source of energy depending upon factors like workout intensity, workout durations, body types, etc, You will lose weight as long as you are successful in creating the required energy deficit.
The best way to lose weight is by using both energy sources, burning carbs as well as burning body fat for weight loss.

Hello,
My age is 24 and my height is 170 cm and weight is 80 Kg. I'm trying to reduce my stomach fat by trying almost 2 different methods... 3 months before I was started to skip my lunch and drink fruit juices instead of meals. But I don't see any reduction in my weight I thought I've gained 4 more Kgs after following this method.
Can you please suggest any method to reduce my stomach fat? It would be better if you give any diet plan to reduce fat effectively.

You quote everything so well, and you actually pin points on the problems which most of us are facing today.
Planning your day is the best way to manage your weight loss regime. It's necessary to inculcate small habits in your daily routine whether it is training in a gym or following a balanced diet-plan.
Hi payal,
I’m 39 years old and weigh 73kg. I was in medication 10years back for 3months which increased my weight and I was also not active after that. I want to go back to my old weight 64 kg. Just a month back I started doing vigorous walking for 30minutes along with drinking lots of detox smoothies and drinking detox water about 5litres in a day. I was able to reduce 2kg in this one month. But I understand I need to work even more harder. Please suggest me some ideas.
Thanks
