Some people say to do cardio empty stomach so you can get to the fat layer faster. But some says that you should eat something before cardio so that it won't "burn" your muscles and it gives you more energy for cardio. Just want to hear your expert opinion.

I have breakfast, then start with weight training, and after my weights then I do my cardio, I found that I can actually run faster, probably because of adrenaline in my bloodstream

oh i usually do cardio seperately on different days from weight training.

when i was cutting i did cardio on an empty stomach..woke up and straight away went and jogged..lost 7kg in a month..lol

U got the energy to do cardio without any food?

i tried train fasted
after that cardio a while
HIIT
no prob
but progress wise cant say much
cz after few days of these fasted training i have lots of function
so eat quite dirty and no time to workout

yeap..put earphones in,put my cap on and start running..feels good actually..i started my jogs at 730am

before basketball match, i usually only eat banana for energy.

..................................................................................

Not sure if serious.

Really? I've been on low-carb for 2 weeks, I can still complete an hour of combat and pump each back to back, still standing and kicking (literally).

i dont eat every morning before i go for HIIT..been like that for more than a month already..still alive and kicking..

i did research a while ago, and i heard that it is actually good that you dont eat before you go workout..else your cardio exercise will burn using the food you just ate instead of the stored fat..no idea how true is that, but it sure does make some sense to me though.

there have been conflicting studies here and there, if you feel u cant do cardio with no food, eat , wait 40 minutes, cardio, if you feel it's all right, cardio then eat.

There are so many things to consider and too many conflicting studies. The Krebs cycle, VO2 max, respiratory quotient, etc. Just do what gives you results. Personally for cardio I would do it fasted.

^These.

Do what gives you the results you want.

I think this scenario is like going into a cowboy bar and listen to all the drunker who advised this perfect gunslinger to draw his gun on the left hand and some said go for the right hand since the opponent draw on the right. Some will advised him to take a tequila shot for luck, one prostitute even gave the gun slinger her panty hose as good luck...

So , i think there's no right answer to me. If u really want to lose fat, the motto is "Just Do It!"

Don't f***ing lie to yourself and looking for niche answer. I think this is just a small margin to affect you as it's not what u could do in shortest time, it's the journey of your lifestyle.

A runner will said to you that you will hit the WALL if u lack carbo and you will not fully burn the fat. Some said that if you don't feed yourself with Carbo, you won't burn energy and FAT is burn from energy fuel. And researchers said doing Cardio is not going to change much in losing fat, it's your daily routine that you do that will burn fat longer and faster. ( mens health this month)

This are fine detail just like finding a needle in the haystack. If u really want to lose fat , take Lipo 6 and stop eating like a PIG!

kind of a hypocritical when you say dont listen to everyone's advice and then giving out some of your own dont you think? taking a fat burner wont help unless you work out.

take Lipo 6 and stop eating like a PIG! you meant eating like darklight? but he's still getting leaner. LOL

I think i am going to stick with cardio rather than taking Lipo 6/eating less. Thanks for your advice

Good luck mate!

I guess you never heard the statement :

"You can't out-train a bad diet"

fixed

aiyo, can u read carefully the questions they asking? to eat or not to eat... It's such a marginal effect comparing to Lipo 6 which had proven . u r comparing like 3% vs 30% ... it's not hypocritical lah. If i go for an answer which is not much of a different than u can call me that, but even if the answer for lipo 6 is at the marginal of 10 % it's still about 7% different .get it!

by they way, no siggy selling any supplement. just 2 cents of CHANGE!

What i mean was i am currently eating clean. So i dont think i should reduce eating instead need to increase eating. Need to bulk up a little. BMI on the lower side.

me too, i usually do morning cardio @9am (freestyle step aerobic, ~45mins) with no food (last meal at last nite 9pm), just plain water and still i can push myself doing the cardio and have a "good" lunch at 1230pm or so. i wonder where the energy came from? hopefully it came from fat storage n not from muscle breakdown.

what. the. hell. are. you. talking. about?

comparing between 3% and 30% what?
10% and 7% what?

try to make sense.

I couldn't make out either. That's why I kept quiet

2 cents of broscience.

Isn't he the home gym guy?

i do it with empty stomach.

I can't. I physically can't. I have a case of acute gastritis and I can't do fasted cardio. It has never worked for me to begin with. Point is, everyone is different, do what is best for you.

Both of you like batman & robin , so whose one is the shortest? can 't be both the same length , right.. hehe

hows it feel to not have one? you just basically handed in your man card when you start closing threads, *****.

In the end, i believe it is preference to do it fasted or not. There is probably no significant benefit doing cardio fasted. People "mentally masturbate" over this rather than actually doing the damn cardio.

And you're like the guy with a mental disorder running down the street doing and shouting nonsense.

y empty stomach cardio thread can lead to a warzone?

I guess it came from the "never get a man angry on an empty stomach?"

Wah.... really a warzone earlier. Dayummm.......

i went for jog with a glass of water and w/o any food. its fine for me .
