Weight / Fat loss

The rule is: up to 40 mins of low intensity, fasted exercise in the morning is OK and will aid weight loss - that does mean you will have to keep your dick in you trousers on the commute though.

Anything longer/more intense will eat into glycogen stores and be a hindrance to weight loss rather than a help.

Interesting....I've been doing high intensity workouts 3 or 4 times a week on a empty stomach and then cycling to work for at least the last 6 months and my weight loss has been negligible/nothing compared to what it should be given the energy used/food put in ratios and amount of exercise I've been doing.

Have been seeing a GP about it and got an appt today to follow up on some blood tests but am starting to wonder if over-training is actually an issue?

Initially sounded like madness to me (see also not eating enough/starvation mode for Not Being Able To Get My Head Around) but I've been reading articles suggesting my level of gym going might actually be part of the problem?? I do around 5 high intensity work outs of around 45 mins a week and I really don't slack in those sessions according to my HRM...
