Your recovery after workouts is faster. This means your muscles are getting more oxygen and nutrients as your body becomes more efficient at using fat for energy. 

3. Improved Recovery Time

As your body starts burning fat, you may notice your appetite stabilizing or even decreasing. This happens because fat metabolism helps control hunger hormones.

If you're sleeping better and waking up more refreshed, it's a good sign. Fat loss, especially around the abdomen, improves sleep patterns by reducing stress on the body. 

5. Better Sleep Quality
