I’m interested in ways to trigger fat burning and/or how to increase metabolism.
Fat “burns” when you are hungry for a while. If you haven’t eaten in a while your glycogen stores will be depleted and your metabolism will gradually switch over to lipid metabolism for energy. Some very low carbohydrate diets aim to promote this. Others fast to promote this.

ALCAR is often marketed as a fat-burning aid and metabolism booster. While some studies have suggested that ALCAR may have benefits for weight loss and metabolism, the evidence is mixed and more research is needed to determine its effectiveness.
