To mobilize fat, you need to break the bond between glycerol and fatty acids, a process facilitated by the enzyme lipase, allowing fatty acids to enter the bloodstream for energy use.

Certain compounds can enhance fat oxidation and mobilization, which is beneficial for accelerating fat loss, particularly those that increase epinephrine release.

Adrenaline is the key hormone that facilitates fat loss, acting as both the trigger and the effector in the fat mobilization process during various types of movement.

Adrenaline, released from neurons connected to fat, plays a crucial role in fat oxidation, meaning the burning of fat is influenced by local neuronal activity rather than just systemic adrenaline from stress or fasting.

The principles of fat loss are linked to how we engage the nervous system and the patterns of exercise we choose, as high-intensity exercise triggers significant adrenaline release, which is crucial for fat thermogenesis and oxidation, while low to moderate-intensity exercise does not stimulate adrenaline as effectively.

Your body fat is innervated by neurons, which can influence whether that fat is burned or not, making the nervous system a key player in fat utilization.

Maintaining a low insulin level is beneficial for fat oxidation, and various dietary approaches can help achieve this, including low or moderate carbohydrate diets.

Fasted exercise can enhance fat oxidation, especially after about 90 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, where the body shifts from burning glycogen to body fat.
