WARNING: Doing Cardio In A Fasted State Causes Muscle Loss & Fat Gain
Dr. Sam - I want to lose fat and gain muscle. I’m doing intermittent fasting and sometimes a ketogenic diet. However, my question is about doing cardio on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning. I hear it’s the best way to lose fat - can you please tell me the real truth?
This is a great question because it’s a very popular topic and one that I used to believe in myself, when I was younger.
For years, many experts will tell you that the best way to lose fat is to do cardio exercise first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach after an overnight fast.
The “theory” for this is that your glycogen stores were depleted during your sleep. So, there was no “sugar” or “carbs” to burn off and thus, the cardio exercise would go directly into fat burning mode.
So you’re saving time and burning more fat.
