EB. 127: Lipolysis and Fat Loss: Lose Body Fat Without Increasing Fat Burning

• Why increasing lipolysis through low-carb diets, cold plunges, fasting, and excess exercise is not necessary for fat loss
• How less lipolysis can lead to more fat loss
  
• The role of fat release and free fatty acids in diabetes, fatty liver disease, and obesity
• What to focus on instead of lipolysis to support healthy fat loss
