    agreed! So many factors come into play here.

    Depends on your glycogen storage level. Some could go well past 30 minutes and not use fat stores.
    Do you know when you burn the most fat? A night or time when you are sleeping. Truth.

    As far as I know, the body goes through cycles of burning and storing fat all day long. Not sure how much that can be influenced.

    If you're trying to reduce bodyfat, it's irrelevant how long the sessions are. All activities burn calories, which contributes to your calorie deficit. In fact you don't need to do any exercise to burn body fat.

    I actually think most of the fat burning happens in the days following the practice. When using muscles there are slightly damaged and needs to be rebuild/grow and that takes time and it costs energy. This is why its important to relax and get a good nights sleep when loosing weight.

    The fat you burn during exercise has no effect on stored body fat, so the discussion is meaningless.

    I read yesterday that when doing intermittent fasting (16:8) you're supposed to do eight minutes of high-intensity exercise right at the end of the fasting period and this triggers some kind of incredible fat burning process that carries on for hours. I never heard anyone mention that before. I wonder if there's anything in it.

    No truth to that.

    Even if there were truth to it? Let's put it this way. I 18:6. When 18 is up? I want to eat, not do eight minutes of high intensity exercise.

    Eight minutes. So random. Why eight? Why not seven? Or nine? Or 14?

    All I know is that I have been keeping about 400-500 beneath my calorie goal (500 cal deficit/day) and in the last 18 weeks or so I have lost about 36 pounds. So the math seems about right. The fat seems to have turned into CO2, water and energy. Thermodynamics, not just a good idea, it's the law.

    This. That's almost exactly what I've been doing and I've been dropping between 2 and 2.5 a week.

    Then what's the point of exercising if not to burn stored body fat?

    or are you talking about "fat loss happens in the kitchen, not the gym" ?

    Brief physiology lesson: Your body uses 2 types of fuel during exercise - fat and carbohydrates. The ratio of fat to carbs depends on the intensity & duration. He's saying it's irrelevant what that ratio is, because both fuels contribute to the calorie deficit that leads to long-term fat loss. In other words, what matters is the number of calories burned during exercise, not the type of calories. Makes sense?

    Wrong? Exercise burns calories. A calorie deficit is needed to burn fat. Exercise helps to create the calorie deficit. More fat is burned at rest because it's the PRIMARY fuel. How many people workout 8 hours continually or more? Stored fat isn't metabolically active. Why do you think we have RMR and BMR's? Thanks for playing.
