In the world of fitness, there is still no common opinion on the usefulness of exercise with an empty stomach. Research shows that such training does not lead to greater fat in the long run, although the stomach is empty, the body really burns more fatty reserves.
Proponents of her case have been working to make sure this is the ideal form of fat burning, and opponents point to possible risks. When cardio exercises are made with an empty stomach, the body is really more fat burning with trainings on food.
The mechanism of this phenomenon is clear: the body uses two main sources of energy, quickly accessible (gable liver and muscles) and long-term resources. While training with empty stomachs, the level of glycogen and insulin is down, so the body has to actively use fat reserves, which can increase their burns by 20-30%.
But the body is a smart system that seeks to maintain energy balance. If he spends more fat during training, it can further compensate, slow down the main metabolism, reducing physical activity during the day and reducing the energy of the body's temperature.
