Yeah! At first I thought that was a little overboard, but.... I honestly believe we're here for the same reason.... Learn, grow, and most important help one another.... I try like hell, not too ever take anything personal. My wife is cool and would probably laugh at the post. Hopefully, our friend was trying to create a little humor, Its all good. Back to the post and what I've learned......

She is right. There is always a first time.... HEHE Overall research and input has led me to the conclusion that if one is trying to lose water and fat.... then you should wait up to, but not exceeed 90 minutes before taking in your first meal. Without getting techincal. the body will continue to literally eat it's own fat for 90 minutes after cardio. Also, read that four weeks out from a target date, that 2 a days are awesome and the evening session only needs to consist of 18 minutes in the "fat burning zone" meaning 25 minutes is fine and once again the body is burning fat for a extended period of time. For me my heart rate needs to be about 130-140. Hope this post helps others. If any of you find other helpful information that supports or contradicts this... then please post.

After 60 minutes on the treadmill I'd eat my own arm...

...so I'd eat right away.

waiting 90 minutes is bad advice. your body will eat muscle and cortisol levels will rise. never heard that before. eating right after your done, a protein/fat meal, will not stop fat burning, will prevent catabolism, and keep cortisol levels in check.

The research is not conclusive as everyone is so different, however, I think for the majority of people, they only burn calories while doing cardio, and not for that much longer after.

It is different with weights, as your metabolic rate remains elevated long after you finish your last set.

it doesn't matter. by now you KNOW this: "feminine logic is a contradiction of terms"

Eat immediately after IMO...especially after morning cardio. I usually make sure it is a shake with protein powder and whole eggs.(On a keto diet).

I've always waited after straight Cardio because your body will continue to burn cals. But after a lift session I eat immediately after. Gota feed the beast!

depends if your going for cutting and burning or bulking and saving muscle.

also what you eat depends.

I'm not looking to loose an ounce of muscle and right now don't care much about cutting so I'd eat.

When I start to cut I'll wait but never to long. 30-45 mins but thats right after the sauna anyhow ... (no need to get into the pros and cons of the sauna here thought, it's been killed. if you want to talk about it PM)
