Then the issue is NOT using up carbs. It's about consuming less to begin with and getting the body to burn / use the stored fat.

train fasted and then fast afterwards, just make sure you hydrate

it takes about 20 hours to deplete yourself so you need to time your workouts in a way where you can fast 20 hours. aim to eat in a 2-4 hour window. the kids call that intermittent fasting, i call it sensible eating. humans in america especially spend way too much time everyday eating. no animal that has our structure does that.

I think anyone is going to struggle to eat anywhere close to maintenance CLEAN within a 2/4 hour window. Never mind if you’re trying to gain muscle!

But if you’re trying to lose weight then yeah it’s a great method. You’ll probably only manage to get about 1500cals in within that window. Plus I don’t dispute the hormonal benefits of IM.

Not eating them in the first place will help tremendously.

Fat loss comes down to a caloric defecit. And typically you'll want to cut carbs
