If you try to exercise and burn body fat, remember that the type of fat that you're trying to burn matters. Our body first metabolizes carbs and then protein, and while the protein is being metabolized, the body starts breaking down the fat and glycogen stores to convert it to fuel.
Fat does not have the same chemical structure as sugars. Saturated fats are called
saturated because they have large amount of carbon-hydrogen
bonds. A fat that is mono-unsaturated has two fewer carbon-hydrogen
bonds because it has one extra carbon-carbon bond called a double
bond. The more unsaturated the fat is, the less and less energy it
contains. Therefore, you can burn more unsaturated fats than saturated
fats with the same amount of exercise.
