So what I do is get up early in the morning and perfomr cardio and weight training on an empty stomach. When you sleep your insulin levels go low due to not eating anything, therefore if you want to cut and burn more fat do you cardio and weight training on an empty stomach as soon as you get up. After your workout within one-hour after training be sure to eat/drink something high in protein. ~billk~
