Hey guys and gals. Sorry for all the new threads.I was wondering how I would stay in a fat burning state (ketosis) if I'm eating carbs at night after I back load? Is it because my muscles burn it off after a work out? If so then won't I have low Glycogen levels for my next work out?? Again sorry feel free to direct me to a link I could not find my self!Depth before dishonor!!!!
First off dont worry about ketosis. Its not important as far as fat loss goes. Some people get into it and some never do. Its not a major. You'll still burn fat. Everyone does all the time. The idea is that you eat your carbs, store them in the muscles and liver (cant avoid the liver nor should you) sleep through until morning where you generally have depleted your livers glycogen and are burning mostly fat. Then so long as you dont eat carbs in the morning fat burning continues until more carbs are introduced. Of course this in itself doesnt mean youll lose body fat but it does put you in a state thats very allowing for it.
If you are fat adapted, you will save most of the glycogen for training and you should still be ketogenic to some degree in the morning.

muscle glycogen yes. I should have mentioned that.
