What does it mean, exactly, when the body is said to become more

Does it mean that the body burns more fat or less fat?

"Efficient" could mean "less fat" in the same way that fuel efficiency
in cars means *less* fuel used for the same distance. *Thus, the more
"efficient" our bodies become at using fat, the more intense our
workouts have to be to burn the same amount as before!

But that's semantics...what's the actual physiology??


Yes.
