If you consume fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight, and a significant portion of that weight will come from body fat, depending on various factors.

Calories in versus calories out is the fundamental formula for fat loss and weight management; if you consume more calories than you burn, you will gain weight, primarily in the form of fat.

If you perform high-intensity training while fasted, you will burn more body fat compared to exercising after eating.

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.

To optimize body fat loss, incorporate high-intensity training followed by low-intensity training, ideally while fasted, three to four times a week.

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.

Incorporating non-exercise activities like fidgeting and shivering can significantly increase caloric burn and enhance fat loss through increased thermogenesis.

Research from the 1960s and 70s showed that individuals who overeat but do not gain weight often engage in a lot of subtle movements throughout the day, which helps them burn off excess calories.

Eating foods low in essential nutrients can lead to continuous eating, as the body seeks to fulfill its nutritional needs, often resulting in empty calories.
