hey is it possible to develop a pill that tells the body to use fat for any desired task such as sprinting, whereas normally it would just use sugars i think. if it isnt possible why not? if it is briefly what needs to be done for that. just wondering because in chem class it came to my mind. thanks

Valine leucine and isolucine can be made substrates .
Acetic acid or glycerol also can be made substrates.
But INSULIN is needed for their optimal use.
Only in theory and in experimental animals.
Cellular oxidation is dictated by nature.

This wouldn't be healthy for your body. Your body goes through things in a certain way, burning certain things when it needs to.
If you were to make it burn fat before anything else, you'd get something similar to Type 1 diabetes mellitus.
For more information on it, I think wikipedia has a whole article on it.
