WEIGHT LOSS DEPENDS ON OVERALL CALORIE BALANCE AND LIFE- STYLE FACTORS

The role of insulin and glycogen levels in workouts

- 

Insulin plays a crucial role in nutrient storage and utilisation. In a fasted state, insulin levels are lower, which may encourage fat oxidation.

However, glycogen stores are also depleted, potentially limiting performance in high-intensity workouts.

For endurance athletes and those engaging in resistance training, low glycogen levels can lead to reduced strength, power, and recovery. While fasted workouts may work for some, they may not be ideal for individuals who require sustained energy for prolonged or intense exercise.
