Ah, that's only after you've exercised to exhaustion. Which will hopefully take more than one hour. The switch from burning sugar to burning fat happens relatively quickly, but from there to burning protein is a huge jump and normally only happens once you run your fat reserves right down. So until you are a genuinely skinny beanpole, don't worry about it. Worry more about coming home from the gym, flopping down on the couch and "treating" yourself to a nice big bag of junk food. That is what will stop you losing weight.
