Quick summary of fasting and exercise, as I say, glucagon is your fasting hormone. It reduces your store glycogen from your liver and it triggers fat burning and exercise. Exercise increases your muscles demand for fuel. And if there's no exercise, your muscles are going to burn the fat directly. Not it takes approximately 30 minutes of high energy exercise to reduce insulin levels to a fasting state. Depending on when you last ate and what you ate.
During this 30 minutes while your incident is depleting, you of course still have some incident in your blood. And as long as it's insulin, your body's not going to release glucagon. Therefore, you're not burning fat. But at some point, the transition will happen. But for most of us except for athletes, we exercise to assist In our weight loss, or weight maintenance, so we want our exercise to have some impact on our fat and we wanted as soon as possible. For some people who have the time, that period while the incident dissipates, doesn't really make a difference.
But if you have limited time, then the time for exercise is obviously going to need to be squeezed into a smaller period. In a fasting state, you will have an immediate impact on fat burning because exercise increases the muscles demand for fuel and in the absence of insulin, the muscles are going to burn fat directly. So if tying our meals is important to balance the hormone release, so to this timing exercise, to maximize fat burning, if possible, exercise in a fasting state Either at the end of you intermittent fast, or if between meals as close to the beginning of the next meal, rather than just after you finished a meal. This will maximize your body's opportunity to burn fats
