If i walk/jog 4 miles 5x per week am i gonna lose my belly fat?!


Question: It depends how hard you work. When running, you first burn the sugars to produce your energy, so as soon as all your sugars are used up to produce energy, you start using your carbs, etc...

See, your body stores energy in muscle and other tissues in the form of the carbohydrate glycogen. The stores of glycogen are usually enough to last for 15 or 20 minutes of activity. Then, your body will begin to break down other stored molecules, including fats, for energy.
