Okay, I'm not exactly well-versed in physiology or the theory behind so what I'm saying is just pieced from what I've heard and read.
As far as I understand it, HIIT cardio uses glycogen to fuel the workout as opposed to "standard" 30 min cardio that uses fat for energy, right?
Now, on a keto diet glucose is created in the liver from lactic acid and this glucose is only used by neurons and red blood cells, correct? So this means that the muscles are deprived of glycogen?
So my question is this: if one follows a CKD diet in conjunction with a HIIT cardio regimen, what exactly does the body use as fuel during training? Is it fat? Muscle? Or do the ketones provide energy for the activity as well?
So basically, while following a CKD diet, is it fine to do HIIT or should one stick to standard cardio 30+min at 65%MHR?
Thanks in advance!
