For those that do cardio for fat loss what is your preferred method??
I recently saw a video that Shelby Starns put out and he answered a question about cardio timing and that it didn't matter. Fasted , non fasted that it didn't matter , then I saw a video with John Meadows and a cardiologist and they explained that the body adapts to cardio and it becomes less effective as the body become more efficient..
I've always done fasted LISS cardio as it's easy to fit into my schedule than spending any 30-40 min in the gym in the evening.
It would seem that HIIT would burn more calories and that the body would have a much harder time adapting it would with LISS , but wouldn't HIIT fasted cause the body to use glycogen stores for fuel rather than tapping into fat stores.
What is your preferred method of adding in cardio for fat loss , or do you just prefer adjusting the diet
