A slightly more technical answer is that we generally burn a mix of dietary and body fat. On the standard diet, the assumption I've seen is 50/50--say, if you eat 100 grams of fat a day on a mixed diet and are in balance, you can expect to store roughly 50 grams of dietary fat, and access 50 grams of body fat. So on net you'd not be losing any body fat, but 50 grams a day is being replaced from dietary fat.


Knew you would have a better, more detailed answer! Dr. Fung was being quite definitive in this podcast about when body fat starts to be burned.
