It takes about a 3500 calorie deficit to lose 1 pound. Insulin and growth hormone have an inverse relationship. You must keep insulin under control if you want growth hormone to do its job of mobilizing fat. The average person can store 500 grams of glycogen. Only fat and protein are essential macronutrients – carbohydrates aren’t (but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eat them). Muscle glycogen is about 3 parts water to 1 part glucose. This can add water weight at the beginning of a strength training program. You burn more calories during the 23 hours you don’t exercise than the 1 hour you do. You don’t need to do cardio to lose weight. You only need a calorie deficit. But that doesn’t mean isn’t a useful tool. The fat burning zone does not burn more total fat calories – only a higher percentage of calories from fat. Total calories burned is what matters. You’re never too old to do squats.
