a ? about cardio and lenth to burn fat

[missyd143]

if i do 30 min a moderate intensity cardio on an empty stomach in the morning will i be burning fat? what if i cut my carbs out at 3pm? is it ok to have my cool whip(only 2 ccarbs and 1 sugar) in the morning then and will i still be burning fat?

Hello missyd143

Do a search on Cardio there is a great post that tell us that for the first 30 min's that are body takes energy from are blood before it starts to work on body fat. So your morning cardio should be 1 hour.

I'll see if i can find it and post it for you

If you're really looking to lose fat, I'd suggest forgetting about low-moderate intensity cardio, "fat-burning zones", etc., and look at doing High Intensity Intervals.

Obviously, it depends on what level you're currently at, and you may need to work up to it.

But check out this information:

Basically, what is used "during" exercise (fat or carbs) is pretty insignificant in regards to overall fat loss.

I would suggest 60 minutes cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.Train hard with weights and watch the diet.After a period of time you might want to up the intensity as your body becomes accustomed to cardio.Intervals are also great!

Let's say u want to do the cardio and weights the same day
i was reading the post by warlobo on cardio and someone said that to do cardio after hitting the weights. So in what order should they go. Cause i was thinking of doing cardio in the morning(empty stomach) and then do weights later in the afternoon after work.

I hope you get banned for asking the same fucking question over, and over and over again.

Is this some kind of joke with the Cool Whip?

WTF? Every other post on this board is discussing the 2 grams of carbs in Cool Whip, and how exactly to time it to remain in "ketosis" or whatever. 2 grams of carbs = 8 kcals. You burn 100 kcals/mile running or walking. At moderate intensity, you burn 50% glycogen/50% fat. Run 400m, you burn about 25 kcals. If it was an easy jog, 50% was carbs, so 12.5 kcals for carbs are burned, so you're back in ketosis and then some. Run harder, and you use more carbs (but the same amount of calories). Hell, you could have anothe 1/2 serving!!
