What is fat oxidation? It’s the process your body uses to break down stored fat and convert it into usable energy. It’s a key part of fat loss, but here’s what most people don’t realise. Fat oxidation is a stress-inducing process. When your body burns fat, stress hormones like adrenaline and noradrenaline naturally increase. This isn’t a bad thing. It’s a normal response that helps mobilise stored fat for fuel. But if you’re already highly stressed, your body may struggle to keep up. That’s why managing stress and recovery is just as important as training and nutrition. Your body can only tolerate so much stress before progress stalls. Train hard. Eat smart. Recover better. - @coach_kassis
