lean protein is going to be much better for you than a supplement, the nuts will slow the absorbtion down to last a few hrs overnight although salmon would be an even better choice as the good fats contained in this would slow the digestion down on its own.

The implications of this during dieting is huge.

So I just had a quick question. I walked on the treadmill for 40 min. This morning, rotating from uphill, to faster pace, to fast uphill, just mixing it up. I read that this walking would be the best idea for burning fat. What I was doing was running or going hard on the eliptical. My question: how come the body burns more fat walking like this? Rather than if I were to really go hard running or doing the eliptical? I read that your body utilizes carbs rather than fat when you go too hard? What if your on a keto diet and your carbs are very restricted, what then? I have quite a bit of BF but a lot of muscle. I want to lose jBF quick as I am in a competition at work, $900 to the winner, but that's just icing on the cake for the real benefits will be afforded me through the hard work. Just wondering if I should focus on lower impact, longer duration cardio. Thanks guys!

Sitting and watching the TV the body burns predominatly fat.
Sprinting generally burns more if not all carbs as it source of fuel.

Different workouts burn different things for different times long after the workout is done.

You are correct in thinking that slow burning targets more fat during cardio.
But high intensity training offers more fat burning for longer period of time after training.

well pscarb said on first page to not get over 65% and to just walk, is this the best for overall fat burning or should I keep going a little harder, say jogging or doing the elliptical? I don't go crazy by any means, because I'm about 250, running even a mile and1/2 is a challenge, or I usually try and burn about 300 to 350 cal. on the elliptical trying either to get to that mark faster or burning more cal. than I did last time in the same amount of time. I have been taking in about 30 grams of carbs for the last few days, and was wondering how the body would burn carbs if there is so few available? Also how many grams of fat should I shoot for? Thanks this thread is really helpful.

You will see lots of contradicting advice when it comes to cardio. Until i see some of these competing bodybuilders doing high intensity (which they dont) i will stick with 65% method. The lower intensity is also much more bearable when hard dieting.

If there are no carbs to burn your body will catabolise (don't know if this is real word) your muscle instead! hence stick to low intesity.

That's interesting. But if the point of the keto diet is to switch your body from carb-burning to fat burning, wouldn't the higher intensity force my body to dig deeper into my fat stores for energy? Not trying to contradict anyone just seeking the best understanding possible.

I think HIIT offers a better bang for your buck but in your situation being as heavy as you are (same as me), I tend to get injuries before the weight is all off.
I think in your situation the walking would be good to get all your joints acclimated, as well as the muscles.
Once you drop some weight you can either increase the pace, or duration.
Start slow, the race is long, finishing it is what it is all about.

I am re-habing a knee right now and if I do too much it actually is compromising what I am trying to do.

Yes, finally, it seems all my friends have perfect healthy joints, and I feel like an old geezer around them. If it's not my back, which always hurts at least a little, then it's my knees, and since I have had 4 knee surgeries, they alway hurt too. As soon as I get any kind of momentum going, BAM!, injury. I take joint supps, drink water, use good form, but it's always something. And if it's not the before mentioned two, then my tennis elbow starts to flare up. I will take it slow, for now...I don't want to get hurt(more) and then not be able to do anything.

Hey guys what a great read.
Have been on the low fat low carb high protien diet for 2months now and need a change so will definately be trying the diet on page 1.
Just a couple of quick questions,
I train first thing in the morning will the diet still work?
What should I eat before the workout?
Thanks for the great advice
Cheers Rich

dudeson

Do you just do weights? Cardio? Both? It seems most reliable sources say to train empty, in the morning, I usually have coffee before I go in the morning, but that's only for cardio.

That's a really good question: If someone was trying to cut, and they are doing their workouts, (lifting and cardio) what should they eat before they go?

Or what if they were just planning on doing the weights in the morning, what would be the best pre-workout?

Following the carb cycling and it really seems to suit me... have kept the muscle size while dieting for my comp in October. I have a question though- should I keep up the protein shakes till the contest or cut them out at a given point?
