All exercise burns fat


Exercise immediately after a meal or strenuous exercise consumes more carbohydrates than fats.

So is it only worth exercising calmly and not eating in the morning if you want to make weight loss more effective? Fortunately, the truth is simple: the most important thing is the amount of exercise, not the pace or time.

Muscle uses two main sources of energy, fat and carbohydrates. Both fat and carbohydrates are almost always the same source of energy, but their relationship can even vary considerably. In extreme cases, the use ratio can be 90/10 (i.e., 90% fat and 10% carbohydrate, for example), but most commonly the use of different energy sources is closer to each other (e.g., 70/30).

Is it fat or charcoal consumed?

The relationship between fat and carbohydrate consumption is affected by many things

• Inheritance: if you have inherited the so-called slow cells, able to consume more fat.
Exercise load, ie power: more exercise consumes more fat in calm exercise (heart rate 90-120 beats per minute) and more carbohydrates in fast exercise (heart rate 130-170 beats per minute).
Duration of exercise: the longer you exercise, the more fat you consume.
Effect of a pre-exercise meal: If you have not eaten a carbohydrate meal for many hours, your fat intake will increase.
Coffee: at least 3-4 cups of coffee releases fatty acids and increases the use of fat (although there are large individual differences).

All exercise is worth it:

So should you always move slowly and for a long time, schedule your movement in the morning and leave home without eating anything but three cups of coffee? Is this the only real fat burning exercise? What if you go for a run a couple of hours after a meal, is it useless? What if the dieter makes up his mind to move really briskly, for example, to play bats? And is it completely pointless to collect a day’s exercise from three 15-minute stretches if you could walk 45 minutes at a time right away?

If our weight loss was only and only affected by energy consumption during exercise, it would really be worthwhile to exercise every morning without eating. Then even short exercise sessions would be completely useless. But the truth is different and, after all, very consistent: when the body consumes a lot of carbohydrates in exercise, the stores are depleted, so they have to be replenished with carbohydrates after exercise. So the energy for living is taken from fats. On the other hand, if you burn fat during exercise, you save carbohydrates, which can then be used after exercise.

Thus, after a hard and short “carb burning loop”, more fats are used and, conversely, after a quiet and long “fat burning loop”, carbohydrates are used. It follows that the most important thing is not the pace, timing, or duration of exercise, but the amount of energy consumed by physical activity. It is therefore worth moving in such a way that the total amount is as large as possible (while remembering the safety of exercise).

Calm fat burning exercise is, of course, enjoyable for many and can therefore be recommended as a safe and easy option. But if you like a little more strenuous exercise, then just let go, - yes, it's good for the dieter too! And while you still remember that exercising in a variety of ways and in a variety of ways can easily increase the amount of exercise, it’s worth forgetting the whole concept of “fat burning exercise”. All exercise is fat burning and weight management!
