nterestingly some animals like whales and migratory birds rely on the burning of stored fat to fuel their long, strenuous journeys.

So if you can copy these animals by doing long slow distance running or similar exercise you will develop your fat burning engine, increase your energy & reduce the amount of carbohydrates you consume.

Over time this type of exercise will not only train your body to burn fat better but will provide you with a more stable and enduring energy supply as well as a toned and slim body.

People with low fitness levels, starting out on training their bodies to how to lose weight  more efficiently, will find that most of their bodies' energy requirements will come from the limited carbohydrate stores in  their liver and muscles.

They will therefore only be able to exercise until their carbohydrate supply simply runs out.

However as fitness levels increase their bodies will start looking to their fat reserves for energy.

Also remember that in conjunction with doing lots of low intensity exercise, it is important to consume a lot of water.

In fact it is recommended that you drink at least 8 glasses of water every day in addition to the normal fluids you may drink in the form of tea and so on.

It is also important to try and avoid health or energy drinks as these will provide a carbohydrate boost for your body which will then use these stores for energy rather than your fat reserves which is what we are trying to train it to utilise.

Remember that your carbohydrate reserves are limited whilst your fat reserves are basically unlimited - even an athlete with only 6% body fat will have enough fat to fuel exercise lasting for many hours.

Therefore, in conclusion, to teach your body to burn fat better you need to create training conditions that generate high fat metabolism to trick your body into using fat as its fuel source of choice.
