Do lose fat faster with Fasted Cardio?

Fasted Cardio helps you lose fat faster or a myth? That is the question answered today by The Health Nerd.

First of all we need to look at what is the theory behind doing cardio while fasting. The idea is that when the body is in a fasted state the insulin and glycogen levels are low. This theoretically will shift energy usage away from burning carbohydrates and rather focus on the fat stored within the body. When you wake up and immediately do cardio on an empty you supposedly burn a lot of fat. The theory does make sense but is it backed by Scientific fact?

The Health Nerd provides us with 6 points about what the Scientific literature say about fasted cardio. First of all he looks at what studies say about the fat burning effects of doing cardio fasted. And interestingly enough a popular study done does show that you do burn about 20% more fat. However another study showed no correlation.

Watch the video now to get an answer to this dilemma as well as the 5 other points.
