I have never heard of fat loading, yes I’ve heard of carb loading in athletes but fat nope. 1lb fat = 3500 calories. As far as I know if someone is running a quick short distance as they do in Olympics they need carb loading because the higher the intensity of exercise the more carbs are burned.

You don’t seem to know much, apparently. Marathon = long distance running. A short distance (sprinting) dash does not even use aerobic respiration.

No, it really isn’t as simple as ‘energy in’ and ‘energy out’. When ‘energy in’ goes down the body reacts by decreasing metabolic rate. This means now the body is using less energy to function on. The person may lose wt but once they start eating normally again they will gain all the wt back and more.

Actually it is just that simple. Once you lose weight, you can maintain it by exercising daily and eating healthy. Peripheral metabolic rate is decreased only to accommodate the increased metabolic rate of the digestive tract.

Where did you hear that? A person will die of loss of essential protein structures but not by using up all the fat stores. The body doesn’t just use up stored fat but also protein.

Hydrolysis and oxidation of protein is prioritized as a last source of energy (after hydrolysis of fat).

It seems as if you don’t even know the basic concepts of biology.
