Hi I have a question I would like to ask you. I was calculating the amount of calories you would burn doing strength training and the numbers I got using basic physics were astounding (using the conversion rate of 1 Joule=0.24 Calories). So this question naturally popped into my mind. I know that muscles can not metabolize fat during strength training because it is an anaerobic activity. However in the recovery phase, can the body convert body fat into glycogen to replenish muscle and liver glycogen if you are doing intense weight training (1 hour a day, 3 days a week) and are following a fat and carb restricted diet.( Whether such a diet is healthy or not is another question and the answer is probably no because it will put a lot of strain on the kidneys. ) Also would it help doing low intensity cardio (1 hour a day, 7 days a week) to catalyze the release of fatty acids into the blood stream. You could do the cardio directly after strength training.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question. The only weight loss section was under womens health and I am a guy!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
