If you can improve your metabolic efficiency, it will help you to burn more body fat and thereby you will be able to reduce fat and weight. Your body will learn to burn what it is regularly fed.

Metabolic efficiency means your body's ability to perform at the highest level with the least amount of work necessary. Metabolic efficiency is important if you want to burn more fat as fuel because that will help you to burn the stored fat and reduce fat present in your body. It will also help you to lose weight in the process.

So how you can improve your metabolic efficiency which will help you to burn more fat.

Training

Regular training can help you to burn more fat. A scientific study try to see how training can increase efficiency of burning more fat. They found that pro athletes were much faster in comparison to recreational athletes because they had higher metabolic efficiency. They were able to burn three times as much fat as their counterparts even though the level of activity and intensity were the same.

Gender

Women are usually better and burning fat. It may be because they have to carry babies and a need to rely more on the reserves when food is restricted. So all women have an advantage you and they can utilise this advantage for better fat burning and weight loss.

Run for fat burning

If you want to burn more fat, instead of cycling, you need to run. Running will burn more fat in comparison to cycling. It happens because running is much more of a whole-body exercise and you need more muscles at lower intensity for a long duration. When you cycle, it will put a high demand on only a few muscles and mostly on your legs. Running is more fat friendly because it involves your whole body and that is why you can consume less during running and even then do better in that. If you indulge in cross training with other sports, that will help you to burn fat more. It will help you to improve your metabolic efficiency and thereby will help you to burn more fat in the process.

Fasting

Fasting will help you to burn more body fat. Fasting can offer you several benefits but the most important one is burning more fat. When you fast, insulin levels in your body will lower and because of that instead of carb metabolism, your body will start fat metabolism. If you want to increase the amount of fat burnt during the days when you are fasting, you can walk up first thing in the morning.

Day-to-day nutrition

Day-to-day nutrition is a big factor that will decide whether you will have higher metabolic efficiency and will be able to burn fat or not. Depending on whether you load yourself with carbohydrates on a daily basis or consume balanced meals will decide if you will be able to burn more fat from your body and lose weight or not. Your body will learn to burn what is regularly fed. So, if you consume more carbohydrate your body will learn to burn carbohydrate. If you fuel your body with fat, your body will adapt and will learn to burn more fat.
