This point use to be an prevelant talking jest all the time....Can someone break down the science on this into layman's terms so the people like me can understand the why's of it?...Try not to make it pages upon pages and paragraphs upon paragraphs, please!....Just the gist of it will do....I think this is where a lot of folks get skewed in this game....U would automatically think that the body would go for the stored fat FIRST (why did it store the fat to begin with?), right?....But it doesn't!....Hence, the skinny fat syndrome!...Anyway, can someone elaborate, yet, keep it simple?....
.
Experience bears witness, AND for those who choose to jerk off to studies, there are plenty that state the same.
When fasting, the body first uses the most easily ready energy; glucose. It will burn through that, THEN, it will go for glycogen (glucose stored in the liver and muscles). Then.... it will begin to burn fat because the body is now in the state known as ketosis.
If one continues to exercise, lean tissue is preserved for a lengthy period — especially with the addition of peds (AAS and/or peptides).
You can find studies to support any position you take now days. This is why (one of the major reasons) studies aren’t the panacea of knowledge nor discovery. You have to experiment based on your own goals, desire, intuition, and both pro and con research.
