Why Cardio Is Sabotaging Your Fat Loss

ou run 5 miles a day to burn calories, but the belly fat won't budge. Why? Because you are training your body to be a "Fuel Efficient" machine, not a "Fat Burning" machine.

Welcome to Health Logic. Today, we decode the physiology of the "Cardio Paradox." I explain why chronic cardio suppresses your Thyroid (T3), spikes your Cortisol (causing belly fat), and keeps you stuck in "Sugar Burning" mode. I then introduce the "Metabolic Flexibility Protocol" (Zone 2 + Sprints) to help you build mitochondria and melt fat without destroying your joints.

It's time to stop the hamster wheel and start using logic.
