simple, do not eat anything with in an hour of any exercise or trainings, the body diverts a large volume of your blood to the stomach area and muscles to perform the digestions, during this time, other areas do not get all the blood that is needed due to this function, This content is protected
Even better don't eat at least 2 hours before doing exercises (running/weightlifting, etc). I can't run or exercise well if I ate just before the training. If you want to lose weight don't eat at all if you are going to run in the morning, just drink something and start running.
Are you a anorexic teenage girl......No. So don't act like one, that's everybody here reading this who eats a crums for breakfast. I cannot stress how important it is to have a good diet.......breakfast is the most important meal of the day.....never ever skip it. When you wake up in the morning on average lets say you have been asleep for 7-8 hours. First thing in the morning your going to have to replenish, what your body wants. Thats mainely Carboyhrdates......because this is the energy you are using to get through your day and more importantly yourt workouts, and you need to have some Protien. Eat Oatmeal Fruit Cereals And plenty of water.
take two eggs, whisk them up, add i chopped up spring onion, microwave for 2 mins, put in a wholemeal tortia top with a little salsa. great breakfast extreamely good for your abs
In case the few illiterate members missed it the question was no one is suggesting he skips breakfast, it's jut about when you consume it
I do my running and boxing before breakfast. I can't make myself get up early enough to eat something 2 hours beforehand. You do get used to it. A good healthy meal the evening before helps. I'm not exactly anorexic by the way (215).
Something kinda interestig about running on an empty stomach. Since you have no carb fuel to burn on an empty stomach, you will burn more fat calories, but because you're trying to burn fat calories rather than quicker absorbed carb calories, your running won't be as strong and you won't get as much out of the run. Besides, when you do this, you rmetabolism slows down because your body senses that it's "fasting." Meaning that when you finally eat, the meal won't be burned off as efficiently. So you're actually burning fewer calories overall by not having a small little something before the run. Everybody has something that works for them, though.
True. It will have to settle for a close second then. Drenching your face in alcohol so it becomes hard comes in for first.
