Weight loss:
Triggers for adaptation
Q: Fat is an important fuel for exercise. But how do I use it and lose weight at the same time?
A: You need to trigger the pathway that metabolizes fat - increasing our intensity of exercise to 75% of HRmax (Fat Burning Zone) but not beyond that, else we activate the carbohydrate pathway and fat metabolism is inhibited.

Q: But my trainer and doctor tells me to exercise at 85% of HRmax, should I skip this Aerobic Zone Training?
A: Absolutely not. You need to exercise BOTH zones, Aerobic for your heart and Fat Burning to trigger sustainable weight loss.
Q: How many minutes should I be exercising in the Fat Burning Zone?
A: At least 60-90 minutes per session, 1 session per week at a minimum.
