Big, I've been doing some reading on cardio. Take what I'm saying with a mountain of salt, it is the result of a few days research only.

If you spend too much time doing cardio, you switch from normal-fat/sugar burning mode into "oh shit, I need more energy, must outrun this wolf" muscle burning mode.

That happens after you exaust your glycogen reserves. I've heard numbers from 45 minutes to 1+ hours at a moderate pace to do this. Probably HIIT would do it faster.

I'd assume that one "session" would be burning yourself down to this point?

Hell of alot of assumptions here. Hopefully someone can smack some sense into it who knows more!

That page has made me seriously consider going on Vitamin pills tho.
