Similar Assertions

If a fit guy burns more carbs during a tough workout, he's likely to burn more fat afterward while recovering.

80%

If elite male cyclists eat a super high-fat diet for six days, their bodies get better at burning fat for fuel — even when they switch back to eating lots of carbs for a day.

78%

After tough workouts like HIIT or circuit training, fit guys burn fat faster in the hour after exercise compared to easier, steady workouts—even though they burn less fat during the actual workout.

75%

If endurance athletes eat a high-fat, low-carb diet for just 6 days, their bodies burn way more fat during a long bike ride — about 50 grams more over 4 hours — compared to when they eat lots of carbs, even if they're used to carb-heavy diets.

75%

Men who regularly train for endurance sports show greater fat breakdown in abdominal fat tissue during moderate cycling than untrained men, measured by higher glycerol levels, even when hormone levels like adrenaline and insulin are similar.
