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.

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.
