I love protein. I was speaking relatively long-short term like a few days.

If you weight lift and do not eat carbs you will feel depleted. Anaerobic exercise does not tap into fat stores, aerobic exercise does.

Weight lifting will raise the bodies metabolism over time but not in the short term.

That is not nonsense, but scientific fact.

That is bullsh*t! Weight training = muscle. Muscle is active tissue. It burns fat just by sitting there on your body. Therefore, adding muscle will most certainly raise your metabolism for as long as you keep the muscle.

If you know of a way to add muscle without lifting weights, please share....

Yes, I am speaking about BOTH anarobic and aerobic exercise and would again ask you what you do when your 20 minute store of glycogen is used up when weight training.

I don't understand your first statement because it seems to contradict. Is that what you meant to say?
