Have you read the book? It goes into some detail on the fat loss

benefits of doing morning cardio on an empty stomach and waiting an

hour afterward to eat. Actually, I think the book calls for doing both

cardio and weights that way if you're going for maximum fat loss, but

plenty of us eat before and immediately after weights in order to fuel

muscle recovery.

OK - I know it's not officially the BFL way but I do cardio right

after I lift so... do I eat after that or wait?

Thanks!

I was doing cardio after my lifting days as well. I recently stopped just to see

if I can get the same results. I think I was doing too much cardio and impeeding

muscle growth.

Anyways, what I did to solve this dilemna. After my lifting/cardio I drank my

betagen with a 1/2 scoop of protein. Then I ate about an hour after. Not sure if

this was the right thing, but seemed to work fine for me.
