I have never heard of carbs needed to burn fat, what can I read to get more info
EXERCISE burns fat. Carbs, with exercise, MELT the fat, liquify it so it, the liquified fat, can be used as fuel. It is a FABULOUS source of energy. Lol. I could run DAYS on my liquified blubber.
One more time: HARD LARD, as is on my hips, won't be used as fuel for exercise until it is liquified/melted. Carbs and exercise liquify my lard...and thus the fat fuels the exercise.
Remember, it takes a minimum of 20 MINUTES to BEGIN to melt the fat. After 30 minutes, all the carbs are gone, having done their fat-melting duty, and from then on--it's all fat burning.
If you have eaten no carbs that day, for some strange reason...then the fat has to be melted by SOMETHING. The body uses muscle to melt the fat and that is the WORST CASE SCENARIO.
Questions? I'll be glad to read them. This stuff was how I made my living.
