Wait a min. If bonking is running out of glycogen and turning to burning fat what is the best way to bonk more quickly? Right now all of my cardio is focused on loosing weight...fasted cardio and extended rides

Common wisdom (that I have read) is that you burn off the carbs and glycogen in your blood stream in the first 20-30 min in your target heart rate zone (65%-85% of your Max HR) and after that you are burning stored fat.

Is this wrong? After I loose this weight (220 shooting for 180) I will then focus on max performance but for now I will give up speed or performance to loose the fat.
