Fat burning when low training readiness, bad sleep and unstable HRV?

4989262 over 1 year ago

So main goal for me is to burn fat.

On treadmill I run 10km, in about 1hour.

And I have following question:

Case 1: good hrv, good sleep, high training readiness, 1hour run, distance=10km. Amount of burned fat =BF1.

Case 2: bad hrv, very bad sleep, low (5) training readiness, 1hour run, distance=10km. Amount of burned fat =BF2.

Question 1

IS BF1 equal to BF2?

(or cortisol level, which is probably higher in Case2, will make BF2<BF1, how much, if I take KSM66 before will it reduce cortisol?)

Question 2

What worse can happen if i am doing it many times, every day for 1 month and in most cases my body is in CASE 2 scenario?

(i know, i can be more tired and feel like cant run, but i am forcing myself to do it, also yes there is difference in heart rate, but does it matter much?)

It is fair to assume that bad hrv and/or very bad sleep can be caused by excessive stress.

From a simple Google search, we learn that, under stress, the body produces cortisol...

But stress produces also other hormones and proteins that may go against your efforts to burn fat through exercise.

Finally there is apparently a fat-to-brain feedback mechanism also.

The point here is that the linkage between stress and body fat management is complex, and it might be too simplistic to bring it down to cortisol only.
