HIIT - on empty or fueled? (Shadow?)

[cindylou]

I'm not Shadow and I think he has a preference for HIIT on empty, but the Cathy Savage program I'm on strongly recommends HIIT fueled for all the reasons you mention above. This is one of those topics you're going to get mixed responses on depending on who your source is....

are you doing SOS?

 

[cindylou]

ok HIIT is done mostly for fat loss right? SO you would wanna do it at the best time for fat loss.

Steady state cardio is for burning extra cals? So can be done anytime.

right?

I hate the steady state vs. HIIT discussion....the same rules apply whether is steady state or HIIT - the point of both is to burn bodyfat


IF YOU NEED LONGER SESSIONS OF 45 MINUTES 3X TO LOSE FAT(UNLESS COMPETITION IS COMING UP) - then your diet is shit.

Really.....its all about cals in vs cals burned.

2 Diets:

Diet 1 - 2000 cals per day with 400 target cals to burn via cardio daily

Diet 2 - 1600 cals per day.


If main cals are 1600....which makes more sense?

Diet 1 because I get more food and I get to do cardio which I love!

Ill do it for you

Kay here is another question for you, lets just say for some reason you did 1600 cals, lost weight, then plateau, went down to 1400, lost weight, then plateau, then went down to1200... you get the point on no cardio at all. After which you can't loose anymore, then what?

to continue that thought.......what does excess cardio do??

Think hormonally

 

[florencia]

Same as any other time


What does the body use for fuel on a typical day(if you arent losing weight)??

I am going to be brave and answer even if I am mistaken...
I think the body uses for fuel on a typical day, is the daily caloric intake.

For me I was always eating to sustain my activity level and never had issues with fat or muscle loss.

Please enlighten me
