Tell the fat kids to step away from the cake....

......or they will never burn fat!

Carbohydrate intake reduces fat oxidation during exercise in obese boys.

.........carbohydrate (CHO) intake attenuates whole body fat oxidation during exercise in healthy children and may suppress fat metabolism in obese youth. ............. CHO intake markedly suppresses fat oxidation during exercise in obese boys.


True for the rest of us too.

But is fat oxidation DURING exercise really important or the general effect on fat burning post-exercise?

I think that's a good question. And my personal opinion is that the reduced insulin resistance that can come from intense exercise is more important than how much fat you burn during the exercise.
