How do I tell my body to burn the STORED FAT?

[ziffon]

At what point in the day does your body start using stored fat? I guess I need to consume only the minimum calories I need for my body's daily functions, so in that way I force my body to start burning up the stored fat. Am I right? I guess you have no choice than to challenge your body through intense exercise so your body starts using up stored fat and stay active throughout the day. Also I guess I have to be careful only to consume what my body needs to function so that I don't end up letting my body save the unused calories I ate in the day. Also why doesn't your body just uses the stored fat and not go into starvation mode? Why does it have a starvation mode? Anyways I'm trying to think of my body as a machine so that I can know how to upgrade it... lol

You need to know your metabolic rates and what your body needs calorie wise then you need to figure out how many calories you need to burn each day to lose weight never eat under 1200 calories a day and the reason we store fat stems from the past times of famine our bodies don't understand we have food stores on each corner now and it stores fat as a defense mechanism and to teach your body to burn fat as fuel I have found the 40/30/30 method of eating works. if you have any more questions let me know

If I read this correctly (missing punctuations), you're saying that a person should never eat under 1200 calories per day? Doesn't that depend on the persons age, sex, weight, height, fat mass? And fat storage does not stem from famine, it stems from eating more calories than your body expends. It's true that it's harder to lose fat if you're starving due to the "defense mechanism", but getting fat does not stem from famine, it stems from exactly the opposite, overeating.
