Will you lose weight faster by doing Cardio Work on an Empty Stomach?

When I started working out for the very first time many years ago, one of the most widespread theories about exercising was that doing cardio on an empty stomach in the morning would burn fat 3 times faster, thus allow you to reduce tummy fat faster. This is because your glycogen, which is made and stored primarily in the liver and the muscles, and functions as long-term energy storage, is depleted in the morning. After sleeping for about 6 to 8 hours at night your glycogen level reduces since your body needs it for various body functions. The theory is if you do cardio in the morning while fasting, your belly fat will be burnt instead of the carbohydrate stored in your body.
