Final word on cardio on empty stomach?

[Juice Authority]

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.

More speculation or can you back this one up with some facts?

I think the idea of it is that if you just ate you will be burning the calories you just took in instead of stored fat ...

Why do you oppose this? Just curious ...

One reason: To be "contrarian".

nelson..

you wake up after an 8 hour fast... doesnt your body use fat storage as the main source of energy?

something to do with no glucose available for energy.

now, if your answer to the above is yes then how can you explain your earlier remark?

Simple...he can't.

I suscribe to that exact philosophy Bro. I get out of bed and immediately hit the trails outside my place for 15-20 minutes... keeps me nice and lean.

Nelson, you got one thing right--myths die hard.

Of course, the reason the idea about cardio on an empty stomach won't die is because it's true, see. Not a myth.

Now granted, the logic about the reasons could be flawed, but the results are undeniable.

A point of fact--this can easily be proven any time by anyone willing to try both approaches and document the results. You ought to try it sometime and document it, day by day, for eight weeks. Compare it to what you do now. Then get back to us on this myth.

I was actually gonna put up this exact same post last night!

It seems like about a year ago everyone said empty stomach cardio was the way to go on the boards. Now several boards seem to be leaning over to the "eat protein before" theory.

I feel better doing cardio before breakfast. I can't handle anything in my stomach when sprinting so I'm gonna keep it that way.

I'm also still waiting 1 hour after windsprints until I eat. Is this still the way to go?? FS??

I entered Bill Phillips ( Screw Him) LOL!!!Body for life program..his program called (and this is for overweight people to a percentage) it called for six meals per day,myloplex shakes(you had to use his stuff for the program) then after the last evening meal you fast for 12-14 hrs got up do cardio for 20 min.....The prize a lambo....Damn i wanted it......followed to a t...i can say as far as EAS supplements that program was the best at building muscle naturally because i spent alomst 400.00 for the 3 mon program.
