New Fasted Cardio Study Falsifies the Myth of Superior Long Term 4 Week Fat Loss on a Moderate Energy Deficit

If we go by the convincing results of the study at hand, the fasted cardio myth is obviously busted. Sometimes the day youve been waiting for comes faster than youd thought... no, I am not talking about a teens eighteens birthday or Christmas (reminds me, I still have to buy a ton of presents), but rather of the recently hinted at "fasted cardio study" by Brad Jon Schoenfeld, Alan Albert Aragon, Colin D Wilborn, James W Krieger and Gul T Sonmez. The study of which I wrote only 2 days ago in my article about the 50% increase in fatty acid oxidation in fasted vs. fed morning cardio (learn more). And it is in fact the study which may finally solve the "Is fasted cardio good for your weight loss?"-question.

The study, published in The International Journal of Applied and Basic Nutritional Sciences, b...

Now that we are clear, dear non-dams and non-bucks... ... you are probably already drooling at the sought of reading yet another "high protein is good for you" study.
