I have attached a link to a decent article from the AJCN. It essentially states that
"glycogen depletion and the decrease in circulating insulin could provoke an increase in fat oxidation by enhancing fatty acid metabolism, perhaps until carbohydrate stores are replenished. Specifically, this may mean that the substrate mix oxidized is altered in the postexercise state as long as carbohydrate balance is not restored"
That said, it appears that if your goal is to burn fat, especially during and post exercise, you should limit the number of carbs taken before,, during and especially after exercise. I have been waiting 1 hour post workout before having my first meal (I workout first thing in the morn) and have seen decent results. the shake has less than 10 grams of carbs as well.
Any comments?
