susieek Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Sorry if this is an ignorant question or covered a lot previously, but I have a question. If the goal is to convert to a fat burner, then why the emphasis to refuel immediately post workout? I thought that 15-20 minute window was imperative to restore *glycogen* but on the plan, we feasibly don't deplete those stores. Muscle repair takes much longer and a lot of that healing occurs overnight (well, or when sleeping). Anyone with a good explanation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted October 26, 2016 Administrators Share Posted October 26, 2016 It's not an ignorant question at all, @susieek. Check out this article from Whole9. About halfway down the page, "What Post Workout Refeeds Do" will probably help answer your question. http://whole9life.com/2015/02/eat-post-workout/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
