Default Can you help me understand how this works?

I'm seeing a lot of conflicting advice on this front (not in this forum - but magazines, online fitness sites etc.) I'm not sure I understand how having non-elevated blood sugar would lead the body to burn fat. I thought that your body would first choose the glycogen stored in muscle, and then turn to fat-burning once the glycogen stores were exhausted. If this is true, then working out morning, or later wouldn't make a difference. Since we are loading carbs, I would assume LC would mean less glycogen so the body would turn to fat much sooner.

Help!?!?!
