Your body stores fat as a resource to help protect you against starvation if you can't take in enough food. However, your fat reserve isn't the first place your body goes for food; instead, it reaches out for sugar for energy. Just being hungry doesn't mean your body is burning fat.

However, your fat reserve isn't the first place your body goes for food; instead, it reaches out for sugar for energy. Just being hungry doesn't mean your body is burning fat. Blood Sugar Hunger is normally a reflection that your body has used up energy from recent food you ate and has moved on to retrieving energy from sugar in your blood. The body stores sugars as glycogen, which it releases when you feel hungry. The more sugars you intake, the more fuel your body has to use before it reaches out to the fat stores. Any carbohydrate you eat is stored as sugar by your body. If your body doesn't have enough sugar to supply the energy it needs, it begins to burn fat when you're hungry instead. Lowering your carb intake reduces the amount of stored sugar in your body, encouraging your body to burn fat when you're hungry. Hunger and Famine Response Missing meals and going hungry can shift your metabolism so it stores fat instead of burning it. This doesn't happen in a day of missing meals, but if you skip meals for several days and severely lower your caloric intake, your body uses a famine response to conserve energy. Instead of burning fat because you're hungry, your body begins to store as much fat as possible. To combat this, spread your meals out so that you eat five or six small meals throughout the day instead of three large meals. Add more protein, because your body burns more calories when digesting protein than it does when digesting carbohydrates or fat. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day as well; lack of proper hydration can lead to a mild famine response. Exercise Although it may seem like you should burn more fat if you exercise while you're hungry, a study published in February 2011 in "Strength and Conditioning Journal" shows that the body burns the same amount of fat regardless of whether you are hungry when you exercise. According to the study, exercising when you're hungry can cause you to lose muscle mass as the body uses muscle protein for energy. You're also likely to work out at a lower level of intensity because you're hungry. Exercise is key to burning fat; your body burns up sugar stored in your system and begins to burn fat as you continue to exercise. However, exercising when you're hungry won't help you burn fat faster.
