Q: How about this one?In a book that is supposed to be famous for teacing people how to lose fat and become stronger it is referred that in order to burn fat you should do weight training and cardio on an empty stomach.The reason is that if u consume some carbs before the exercise as a fuel then your body will burn the carbs and not the fat and with that way we preservate the fat in our body and we dont let it burn.It says that this is a very common mistake many people do and it is strongly recommended that anyone who is interested to lose fat and build muscles should always wait 3 hours after eating anything and only then exercise.On the other hand i have heard from other sources that this is not good cause in this way u wont have energy for ur training and this way also u ll burn muscles.So,what is true and what not?I would like hear ur explanation and ur general opinion for this.
