fat adaptation
Fat adaptation is the body’s process of becoming more efficient at using fat as a primary energy source instead of carbohydrates. This occurs when a person reduces their intake of carbs, prompting the body to burn stored fat for fuel. Over time, with a high-fat or low-carb diet, the body learns to convert fat into energy more effectively. This adaptation can lead to improved endurance, better energy levels, and even weight loss, as the body becomes skilled at utilizing its fat reserves during physical activity. Fat adaptation may also support metabolic health and help regulate blood sugar levels.
