The food groups your body needs to have in order for it to feel ’safe’ about it burning fat is protein, fats, salad and vegetables. Not any junk food such as, chocolate, crisps, sweets, rice, pasta and bread. These spike your blood sugar levels, causing insulin to be released and insulin then stored the sugar as fats. Not good if you are trying to lose fat.
Your body feels safe and OK to burn fat when it has all the right components that make a good diet. If it is lacking these, or feels starved, does not get enough rest it will want to keep fat on the body in order to survive. So getting all the nutrients lets the body know that it is OK to burn fat as you are not in any danger of dying.
