    Cardio @ 70% effort = more fat loss

      In endurance races like 12-24hr events, the drivers are behind the wheel of multi-million dollar cars driving as fast as they can for hours at a time with minimal sleep. They need to be completely focused mentally and physically. One wrong move and the whole race could be ruined. The brain specifically uses a lot of energy when focusing intensely, as these drivers do. If they have a poor diet or eat foods not conducive for intense mental focus and physical endurance of driving a vehicle hard, they won't perform as well and can lose the race. Win at all costs.

    I retired 8 months ago at age 59.5 after falling off my exercise routine due to the Pandemic. BMI was 25 (borderline overweight), decreased muscle tone, muscle cramps on slow bicycle hill climbs, could only do 4 pull ups. Started training alternating days with HIIT hill repeat bicycling (zones 2, 3, and 4) and strength training (push ups and pull ups). Gradually over 7 months, I lost 12 lbs, BMI came down to 23.2, worked up to 40 pull ups in a row (amazing for my age), and now attacking hills out of the saddle (zone 4).
    However, I plateaued in weight loss. I recently replaced some hill repeat bike rides with 50-60 minute sessions on a KSports Tennis Rebounder alternating forehand backhand shots with power and footwork with ball feed frequency of every 2 seconds (faster than actual court play). This is pure sustained zone 2 aerobic training with higher breathing rate and sweating but not gasping for breath.
    In just two weeks, this change allowed me to break through and lose 2 stubborn additional pounds of fat, BMI now 22.9, below my lean high school/college weight, yet at my personal best at 40 pull ups in one set at age 60. I believe zones 3 and 4 are best for mitochondrial biogenesis (power, athletic performance, and endurance), but alternating with sustained zone 2 training is good for fat burning weight loss. I recommend an alternating combination of HIIT and pure zone 2, as well as strength training.
    Basically, the HIIT type training I was doing is optimal for building the "engine" (could be done on a treadmill with incline sprinting), whereas pure zone 2 training (steady moderate pace jogging on a treadmill) is optimal for "running" the engine and burning through the "fuel" and losing weight. Combinations are good for strength gains, power, endurance, fat burning, and weight loss.

    I remember running on a treadmill about 20 years ago, and it had a heart rate monitor, and it said on it that your "fat burning zone" was about 60%-80% of your max heart rate. This info has been around for decades, you just need to look in the right places.

    I gained 5 kgs in the lockdown! Im a PT and weightlifter/Strength Athlete. I fell in love with running again and biking as a new sport. As soon as my workplace opened (i work in a gym😂) and stepped on the scale and it showed 100kg.....couldn’t explain it to myself first because i ran 4 times a week for the last 3 or 4 weeks before that. But it doomed on me almost instantly. There was very little other movement besides the running.....now 1 week past and i lost 3 kg already. Im doing 8 hrs of Cardio and 4 hours of full body strength per week. Im driving my bike instead of my car and i really feel the change in everything. My sleep is much better i no longer crave those delicious sweets and yeah the only thing that i can tell everybody as a PT. Just start and keep moving doesn’t matter how slow or much you do it in the beginning. You will reach you’re goal! I watched a ton of your Videos GTN and i love it. I live in Germany and im searching for a sprint triathlon for the next year! Thanks for the motivation guys! You’re the best on YT when it comes to the Topic!

    It may certainly be true that at a lower intensity a higher percentage of the energy comes from fat, but if you want to lose fat it's all about being in a caloric deficit. More calories burnt = more weight loss. It's important to note that these tests only test a limited time window while for fat loss it's more about the calorie balance at the end of the day, end of the week, whatever.

    Great video. That's what I keep telling for a guite some time: if you want to burn fat, do two things (besides burining calories):
    1) Train your body to burn fat (covered in video)
    2) Give it a chanse to burn fat. (mostly covered in video)
    And here goes another advise: RE Marks question at 8:40 .... try to make substantial intervals between meals. The best bet would be to set a 12+ hours gap between supper and breakfast. As some studies suggest, 14 hrs is the best (no obesity, no Type 2 diabetes), but it's hardly feasible for modern life. The fasted training will help you to increase that "fasting" gap.
    And remember: the gap 18 hrs and more is intermittent fasting. This is another topic tough.... just be careful with it.
    I know few cases when people tried to practise (in US version of English "practice") frequent low calory meals, got sick and tired of it, started eating one hearty meal at a time, and..... since they got accustomed to that "light and fighting ready hunger" feeling, those meals were about 3 per day with not late dining .... Guess what? They statred shredding waist lines and building lean mass.

Triathletes need to maintain muscle mass for 3 disciplines not 1. Being metabolically flexible really helps the multi hour endurance athlete.

      With the exception of this season I do a few century rides a year. Completely fasted. Most of my rides (even when I was able to commute) are in the 30-60 mile range. Also fasted. Even on those "shorter" rides, being fat adapted helps me excel I believe.
      I'm in my mid 40s. Strava being the only thing I have to track myself... I am tied for 4th out of over 4000 riders on a particular sprint segment and took a KOM from a TDF rider on a 1/2 mile incline section by 12 seconds. 5th on a 3 mile section as well as other KOMs and top 10s. I really wanted to try crits this year. They cancelled the local series though.
      When I'm strong and not injured (winter weight lifting), I can bench over 250 deadlift 400 and snatch 125. Due to injury I can't really run... So I'm strictly a cyclist (state level swimmer once upon a time).
      I'm saying all this to show that a low carb athlete can be competitive in more than ultra long distance. I wish I would have known about this when I was younger.

  • @davidt1621
    @davidt1621 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Carbs are preferable for intensity training, and you need muscle for holding glycogen. But, muscle slows you down, and if you have more muscle than fat while routinely cardio training, intensely, the body will burn muscle instead of fat. That's why endurance runners end up lean with relatively low body mass.

    So let me summarise what I have understood. Correct if I am wrong. So an individual can derive energy from fat when they indulge in longer but less intense workouts like a marathon or atleast a long a run. On the other hand our body uses carbs to fuel explosive or high intensity workouts which are of shorter duration in nature. Thank you.

    Does the percentage of max at which you optimally burn fat, 70% and 75% here, correspond closely with percentage of max heart rate?

  • @nickc4716
    @nickc4716 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good content. Confirms, in my view, that low carb is only useful if you’re racing endurance in something where you have limited access to carbs. Self supported ultras, Mountain Marathons for e.g. where you have to carry your own food. Running longer whilst carrying fewer calories and therefore having a lighter pack makes tactical sense.

    I eat one meal a day and I cycle 60 miles on the road or 25 miles MTB six days per week; one day in the week I don't eat at all. Being doing this for five years now, never felt better; there is one proviso, my one meal starts at four o'clock and ends at six o'clock , in that time I consume what most people eat in two days ( I am of the opinion that we are basically meat eaters that can consume some vegetables and a little fruit) ( I eat fish and seafood mostly). I'm 6'4'' and weight 13.5 stone, before I got out on the road I do pilates, weight lifting and then yoga. I'm 67. I no longer measure how long I take or how much I can lift, unless you intend to win the olympics just get on with it.

      It took me until I was 53 to figure it out. I tried to out exercise a bad diet. I got heavier, I exercised more. It stopped working.
      I spent the last 2 years learning about insulin resistance and obesity. OMAD 3x a week and 2MAD other days. I cut out the snacking. Never felt better.
      Recovery from injuries , workouts much better, along with strength, FTP, VO2 Max, energy levels, vital signs, labs and general sense of well being is the best in 25 years.

    The secret is fat adaptation. Lower your insulin level. Stop eating fast GI carbs like sugar and bread, reduce other carbs. Do some cardio around 50% Vo2 max fasted. The fat adaptation should take around 4-6 weeks. I became a fat burner. I lost 7 kg of fat and I can run or cycle fasted for 2-3 hours without any food, no more bonking

      Ahahaha thank you Keto Captain but we don't need your services here. Besides, we are all "fat burners" but guess what? If you eat MORE fat than you normally would instead of carbs it is no surprise that your body will burn more of it overall. After all, you want to keep body temperature roughly in the 90s to exist, don't you?
      Plus, you're fooled by your own scale. You're not losing fat, you're losing protein and water and this has been PROVEN. As it is proven than you're decimating your gut flora (does the word "constipation" ring a bell?).
      Please do me a favour and don't buy into stupid dietary trends that have little to no science to back them up. What you need is google WFPB and come back here after a few months to type the words "thank you".

    I'm a fat person looking to lose fat most effectively and the only thing I can measure is heart rate. I'm 33 and after watching this video I'm still not sure at what heart rate I should do my training?
    When he said 70%, did he mean (220-age)*0.7? So 131 bpm for me? I don't feel like that is enough, because when I'm on my bicycle, I can go 150 bpm easily for 2 hours. Unfortunately I'm too fat for running. I go above 190 bpm after 500 m.

    • @Odisej1
      @Odisej1 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      My theory is that is better to do higher intensity, shorter training in which you will use carbs and in the recovery process, which last much longer than the actual training, you will burn more fat. You see in the video...average maximum fat burning is around 1g/min....so if you ride for 2h ...that's 120g max. But if you have an interval training....where you enter anaerobic zones...I believe that will provoke more fat burning in recovery. Also....very good thing is intermittent fasting. 16h minimum. That works very well for me.... I eat last meal around 22h and next time where I put something in my mouth,other than water, is at 14h. I skip breakfast.... You are not allowed to eat ANYTHING. It is easier for me to skip breakfast than dinner. And that intermittent fasting is working pretty good. I believe that in that 16h our period ...you depleat your self of carbs and start using fat. Cheers

This sounds like a high-fat diet might be preferable if trying to lose weight, as long as the total caloric intake is the same. Would that be correct?

    Thanks a lot. Very interesting. Two questions. Sticking to 70% effort is not easy. Does that actually mean you are not supposed to go beyond that and let's say 55% is OK too? And the second, what happens if I go beyond for a short period. Let's say I need to go over a short climb on my bike. It is not easy to stay at 70%. Does that affect fat burning after I go back to below 70%? Also, does age have an effect on this? I am after all 50. But I did climb up to Zoncolan on my bike and also finished the Extended Sellaronda circle (Dolomites) this month. Really curious about this.

      Its 70% of top speed reached in this test, not effort. As effort increases with the square of speed (as kinetic energy does and therefore so does the work required) the energy required will be around 50% of max needed at the end of this test and because that lower energy amount is sustainable the effort it will feel like like is even lower still

      While fat is more caloric dense than carbs & protein that does not mean it is more efficient than carbs. It takes a long time to store fat and have it's ready to become a fuel source when compared to carbs. Carbs essentially become available almost instantly. That is why you can eat a banana while running and use it during that run. Furthermore, this video only talked about fat, BUT if you zoomed out on their data and looked at total cals burned per pace (should go off HR to be more accurate) you would find that Carbs make up the majority of total cals burned and by a very large margin. In short, when we need fuel (energy) we need carbs.... you might say we are carb based.

      Body does a balancing act of using carbs (glycogen) and fat(ketones). He says that people on High fat low carb diet numbers could easily double to about 1.5 instead of the .8 they displayed. They may have skipped breakfast but are not in a state of ketosis. Meaning they have glycogen stores to use as needed. I will assume since a fat adapted person peak around 1.5g and they peaked .7-8g. that the difference is being made up by carbs being burned instead. Just my thoughts
