::::can i really burn more fat on a ketogenic diet rather than an isocaloric diet containing carbs? If so, why doesn't eveyone diet in ketogenic fashion, and if not, what benefit do no carb diets give you

Should I cycle carbs? If so what does it mean? If I do A.M. cardio on a empty stomach, when do I eat and what should I eat?

I thought those questions would spark a great debate, with lots of differnt points of view. The more information the better, so people can understand more and more about the complex subject of diet.
