AM Cardio for Fat Loss W/ 25g Casein vs. 25g Whey Isolate, 25 g Maltodextrin Preload, or Truly Fasted - What's "Best"?

Don't believe a word when someone tells you that a new study would show that you can burn extra body fat if you consume a casein shake before your (by then no longer fasted) AM cardio workouts. While the scientific evidence doesn't seem to confirm the superiority of fasted AM cardio ( learn more ), there's no doubt that it can help you shed body fat if the energy you expend on treadmill ergometer, or rowing machine helps you sustain a >10% energy deficit over the next 24h. What is highly debated, though, is whether you got to take precautions in form of protein powders (or BCCAs) to protect your muscle from falling apart. A final answer to this question has yet to be found, but with the results of a recent study by Bradley T. Gieske and colleagues from the Lindenwood University  ( Gieske 2018 ), this ostensibly super-important question *rofl* may become redundant, anyway...

I know, this may be disappointing, but the study at hand won't settle the debate once and for all. Even though Brad Schoenfeld's often-cited "fasted cardio" study suggests that the long-standing myth that "cardio", i.e. aerobic training at moderate intensities, would burn more body fat if you do it in a fasted state in the AM didn't yield the results proponents of "fasted cardio" hoped for, the myth that there's something to doing your cardio training in the AM is still unrefuted. In their latest study, scientists from the Sports Medicine Research Center  and the Department of Sports and Exercise Medicine  at the Teheran University of Medical Science  did now try to get to the bottom of the "early is better"-myth. Based on the observation that exercise can significantly affect your appetite, wich almost 16% of the interventional trials that evaluated the correlation between physical activity and food intake showing that vo...

Don't be a fool. Simply eating no carbs in the PM is not going to yield the same results. It's all about timing it correctly with your workouts... workouts? Yes, bad  news: you got to get off the couch, bro; workout daily: one light, one HIIT day. I've written about the adaptational response to "training low", i.e. doing endurance training on a low carbohydrate diet previously. In January, this year, for example, I have reported the results of a study from the French National Institute of Sport  that showed that strategically cutting carbs in the PM and thus "sleeping low" will trigger game-changing Performance gains in only 3 weeks ( read the article ). Now, the scientists go one better: In their latest study, Laurie-Anne Marquet and colleagues investigated the effect on an even shorter timescale - a timescale that is short enough to consider "sleeping low" as a possible  pre-competition strategy... well, assuming that it would work its ...
