The Claim
Higher baseline steady-state fat oxidation rates and lower resting carbohydrate oxidation rates predict a greater proportional reduction in gynoid fat mass following a 12-week exercise intervention in obese Black South African women aged 20–35 with BMI 30–40 kg/m², explaining 60.6% of the variability in fat loss response.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In obese Black South African women aged 20–35 with BMI 30–40 kg/m², individuals who naturally burn more fat at rest and less carbohydrate at rest tend to lose more fat from the hip and thigh area after 12 weeks of exercise, with these metabolic rates accounting for 60.6% of the differences in fat loss between individuals.

What the research says
1 studyThis study found that women who naturally burned more fat and less sugar at rest and during exercise lost more fat around their hips and thighs after 12 weeks of regular workouts. Their body’s starting metabolism helped predict how well they’d respond to exercise.
