Think of your system as being lazy, it will use the easiest fuel to burn first, ie the carbs. So if you restrict the carbs enough, it is forced to use fat instead which it has evolved to do. Provided you don't eat too many calories, your system tops up the necessary calories from stored fat.Your genetic body shape may make it harder to reduce the spare tyre, but it will eventually get to that stored fat.I personally think it is important NOT to stick to a set calorie level for too long, but vary it every few days, so that your body doesn't adjust to the reduced level of calories. But continues to top up from storage.</blockquote>
