Expert Weighs In: Does Morning Exercise Burn More Fat?
Some workout videos promise to keep your body burning fat all day.
A doctor says these claims are, in fact, true!
When you fast, like between dinner and breakfast, your body starts burning fat.
Exercising during this time may lead to greater weight loss.
Eating and not exercising causes the body to store glucose in the liver.
After a long enough fast, these stores get depleted and fat burning begins.
This is why the advice in the video works.
Combining exercise and intermittent fasting is the most effective strategy.
Make sure to speak with your doctor before starting anything new.

Building muscle increases daily energy use, helping burn fat.
