Hi there!
This is true for those on high carb diets.......they must first use up the available carbs in their system before switching to fat burning. The beauty of a low carb diet is, we're already there! The moment you begin exercise, you're already in "fat-burning mode".
I agree, though, that if you want to lift, then lift first......you want to lift as intensely as possible, and this will be difficult if you're already fatigued from cardio.
