From 0 to 12 hours after eating, fat burning remains modest and similar to a normal overnight fast. The article distinguishes daily 16- to 20-hour fasting from long-term sustained caloric restriction. Daily fasting works through staged metabolic changes rather than a simple on-off effect. Between 16 and 20 hours, low insulin allows hormone-sensitive lipase to release fatty acids from visceral fat cells. At 12 to 16 hours, reduced liver glycogen pushes the body toward gluconeogenesis or fat oxidation.
