Now if glycogen is deleted and you place too high a demand for fast energy the body will start breaking down lean tissue (muscle) to meet the demand (glucogenesis) since oxidizing fat for fuel is a slower process. So if I were to do fasted morning workouts I'd definitely keep to low intensity cardio but I'd prefer to avoid it altogether.

I can see this applying to those who burn carbs as their primary souce of fuel, however would it still be the case for LCers as our bodies are already burning fat as the prefered fuel ?
