I discovered that the relationship between when I eat and when I exercise is as important for fat loss as what I eat or that I exercise. Lift weights at 3pm, don't eat until 6, and there's a 3-hour window where my body is both 1) low on "ready energy" and 2) appetite suppressed, both due to the exercise, and tends to burn fat. Small amounts, to be sure, but enough to trend things downward. Whereas if I eat shortly after working out, my weight remains steady.

- itsmemattchung 4y agoThanks for sharing the article. Sounds like the article recommends against training while fasting, but that advice is geared towards endurance athletes: "Our review of the literature suggests that there is little evidence to support the notion of endurance training and fasting-mediated increases in fat oxidation, and we recommend that endurance athletes should avoid high intensity training while fasting"
