Final word on cardio on empty stomach?

sk* · Jul 4, 2003

Some say it's the easiest way to burn muscle and some say it's not. What's the final word on it?

Should I have a protein or a carb drink right before morning cardio? Or will having it just burn those calories instead of burning the fat?

I really don't wanna hear from the cardio sucks crew. A lot of the reason I wanna do cardio is for fun and to reduce water retention, but if it will help burn a little fat than even better.

So what's the final word?

I have done tons ofa cardio on an empty stomach, and I have never had a problem with muscle wasting. I think most of the people that report loss of muscle are either doing excessive cardio, or have improper nutrition that leads to muscle loss.

How much cardio do you do? What guidlines do you follow? What do you eat after the cardio?

Thanks.

Cardio

I often do it on an empty stomach and it never hurt me.

It works better on an empty stomach. I've tried both with careful observation, and lots of colleagues have done the same...the results are consistently better if done prior to eating.

Okay, let's put the effectiveness or non effectiveness of cardio aside for a moment:

Doing ANY exercise on an empty stomach will not burn more fat. It is biologically impossible.

If you don't mind it, fine.

If you like it, fine.

But it will NOT burn more fat than if you train on a full stoach, or a half full stomach.

But it won't be the final word for a long time. Myths die hard.
