Both sides are right, we just argue who is more right. Hiit is very good as long as you can do it with such intensity that it makes you sick. |

No, I am actually talking about gluconeogenesis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GluconeogenesisOfc, you wont deplete your energy reserves in 30 minutes. All I am saying is that the body aims for a steady state of carbohydrates and people shouldn´t think of fat and carbs as seperate things. They are in a constant equilibrium. Best analogy I find is a savings account and a normal account. It really doesn´t make a difference where you withdraw your money from, It´s the ammount spent that matters. If you take 100 euro/dollar with your card, and later transfer it from your savings account to your normal one, or go to the bank and take it directly from your savings account, it will still be 100 euro/dollar you have less. Same goes with carbs/fat. It really doesn´t make a difference if you take 90% of the energy from carbs and later refill it by converting fat to glucose or take it directly from your fat stores, in the end all that matters is the ammount you spend. I do know its basically what you are saying,  Well, it's not fat that is converted to glucose. Fat is converted to ketones. Basically, when you restrict your energy intake to below maintenance, you will at some point break down fat cells ("lipolysis"), because your body needs the ketones as replacement for lacking glucose. It's also at this point where gluconeogenesis can't make up for the lacking amount of glucose. This is how you lose weight. Fat and carbohydrates also are not the same thing. If they were then ketogenic diets, like the Atkins Diet, may not be as controversial regarding possible health risks. Hi Evil. I think there's something that you didn't mention. It is the glycerol component of stored fats is converted to glucose by gluconeogenesis in the fasted state, whilst the fatty acid component of stored fats is converted to ketones by B-oxidation. Ketones are mainly used as neurological energy sources (mainly the brain), but glucose is also liberated from fats (and protein and glycogen) to provide energy for all other cellular activity. If ketones were to completely replace glucose because blood glucose was too low...there would be no respiration within cells....and....well.....the rest is history. Gluconeogenesis always makes up for lacking blood glucose...unless in diabetes due to insulin deficiency....or until death. |

Hey guys, is it ok if I do 2 sessions of Cardio per day and 20 mins per session? I'm doing a more slacking type of High Intensity Interval Cardio.

I've another question. Is it true that we burn more fats&cals after finishing High Intensity Interval Cardio than Low Intensity Cardio? I mean, the post-exercise burning.

Hi Evil,
I'm a new member. Your video was well presented. I had to look at it several times before I got your point. That's no reflection on your command of English. It's just that was tired after a long day's work.
You sound like a really well-educated man, and you present yourself very well.
I was wondering where you got that information about the number of glycogen calories versus carbohydrate calories burned at various rates of intensity. I'd like to research that in greater depth than the limitations of an 8-minute video imposes. Are there any links to articles, maybe journal articles?
As a senior citizen, I'm probably not in the same shape as a lot of the people here, but I went from about 122. 5 kg to 86 kg in the space of 2-1/2 years by careful dieting, body-weight exercise, and self-resistance exercise, and I think slow and easy is the way to do it, especially for someone like me.
Right now, I seem to be hovering around 86 kg, and I'd like to get down to 72. 5 kg, which is what I weighed 30 years ago.
Regards,
Alan OldStudent

Great, Evil,
That's quite helpful to me and is the type of thing I'd hope to see. I wanted to use some of that stuff in a blog article I'm working on. Of course, I'll cite all my sources, including you.

Alan OldStudent
