Question by celicast2002: Is this true about cardio and aerobics?
I read that 20mins of cardio or aerobics in the morning on an empty stomach burns fat more effectively than 30mins a day after a meal since it takes 20mins to start burning fat.

Your question is highly debatable and there is no clear answer. We dont know for sure, no one knows, they just tell you what they think. No doctor, bodybuilder, scientist, trainer, researcher, or teacher knows the answer to your question before. I read a 33 page post on a bodybuilding forum where people were arguing about it, and let me tell you, some of the top bodybuilders were part of it. I mean bodybuilders you see on tv that win competitions. It also included pharmacists and other people who have a deep knowledge of the human body. Theres also studies that have gone both ways. For some reason, we still dont know the answer.

But whatever the answer is, I can tell you this. You need to go longer with the cardio, I would do at least 45 min either way, whether your doing it before or after food. And if your doing it before food, I think you should take a couple amino acid pills so you minimize muscle loss.

Just to let you know, the whole debate has to do with what is actually lost. Some people say that when you do cardio on an empty stomach, you lose more muscle than if you have food in your system, which is not something you want to do (lose muscle).
