No, i don't want to mislead anyone. I don't like the idea that the information i was trained with was inaccurate, so I'm adding this into my manual for later reference - thanks for the correction.
but i still think the model works as a baseline explanation - exhausting available stores of ready-made fuel creates the need to convert stored fat back into usable energy, and limiting the easier pathway of converting simple carbs to glucose will cause the body to draw on the fat stores to create.
As for the more accurate description - i stand corrected. I suspect that personal trainers don't need the same expertise nurses do in this area - this is why the info we have isn't as accurate.
there you go - sorry about the inaccuracy. I wasn't trying to mislead.

In fact I do aree with you that most exercise regimens do require the body to use readily available forms of energy via aerobic and anaerobic energy pathways. In addition, your workout plan seems sound for a normal healthy person..but care must be taken for people with chronic health conditions. Not everyone can handle such a regimen.
I think anyone who's in a position to educate people for healthier lifestyles still need accurate information even if we use it in different ways.
