Summary:  In this episode of the Viking Health Podcast, Dr. Christian Middelthon discusses the second prerequisite for the body to burn fat for energy. He explains the three fuel sources the body can use for energy: immediate energy from food, glycogen stored in the muscles and liver, and fat storage. The body prioritizes these fuel sources in a specific order, with food being the first choice. To effectively burn fat, the glycogen storage must be depleted. Dr. Christian Middelthon emphasizes the importance of understanding the body's fuel sources and how they are utilized for weight loss and overall health.
