This is a direct quote from a book I’m reading at the moment The body sculpting bible for women. “ We recommend you workout in the morning as soon as you wake up because you will burn 300% more body fat this way” I’m just wondering if anyone has read this book before and could vouch that the information in it is valid. I’ve heard that working out in the mornings before eating was a very bad idea because although you burn heaps of body fat you also burn a lot of muscle. I want to lower my body fat levels but I also want to continue to make lean muscle gains at the same time. Should I do cardio in the mornings before eating or will I loose muscle. What’s the best way to lower your body fat and prevent muscle loss?
Any advice would be great thanks.

Test levels are usually very high in the morning.
But don't go for the working out on an empty stomach. This is old school thought and wrong.

Hey bb1fit so how can I prevent muscle loss and burn fat?
Also I just read a post you answered and you said that a person couldn’t build muscle and lower their body fat percentage at the same time? This confuses me because before Christmas I was able to get my body fat to 18% and was still making lean muscle gains.

As a newbie is the only time. As a trainee progresses though, it becomes very difficult per the calorie discrepency that exists between gaining muscle and losing fat.
Now, by %'s, this is decieving, and how the "ads" lead you on. If you say increase your lean body mass while holding fat steady, your % lean mass to fat will of course change, but in reality you did not lose any fat. Does that make sense? To really tap into your fat stores and get that lean six pack, you need diet to accomodate this, and a muscle gaining diet will not do this.

"If you say increase your lean body mass while holding fat steady, your % lean mass to fat will of course change, but in reality you did not lose any fat" Didn't really understand that, are you saying although the body fat scales said I was at 18% body fat I wasn't really? Yawns it's too early in the morning.
My current body fat is at 22% since after Christmas (oops) so I want to get my body fat percentage to 18% again by dieting and then when it gets to 18% I’m going to up my calories to 2000 a day to maintain and carry on building muscle. Will I be able to do this?
Thanks for the advice bb1fit.
