Doing cardio before interferes with those adaptations, and the type and duration will influence the extent of the interference. Therefore, do it after.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if your schedule permits creating a modest gap in between your strength and cardio work proves to be the clear-cut best option, as research suggests. For example, do your lifting early in the morning and then go for a run or a brisk walk later in the evening or on a separate day. If we\u2019re talking about getting in better shape and losing weight, it really doesn\u2019t matter when you do it. Just remember to not overdo it on cardio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Will eating less carbs help move the needle faster in losing weight?<\/p>\n<p>A:<\/strong> Much of what we thought about carbs being the culprit is now being looked at in a different manner. Self-proclaimed keto and intermittent fasting gurus will argue \u2018til death about this, but with a ton of evidence, it\u2019s clear that a diet low in carbohydrates isn\u2019t any better for general fat loss.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t to say limiting your carbohydrate intake isn\u2019t a viable choice. Abstaining from certain food groups especially hyper palatable ones for a period of time can be advantageous at the onset of a diet because it induces a deficit in your daily consumption. With that in mind, as long as you\u2019re managing your diet appropriately and getting in sufficient protein having carbs within reason isn\u2019t going to have a negative impact on reaching your goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: Is it better to do cardio before lifting weights or after?
