exercising on an empty stomach in the morning before breakfa
-
st
advisable? -
some people will say depends on what exercise
some people will say jog in morn on empty stomach is very effective
But I don't agree. Breakfast is the most important thing in the morning. It kick starts your metabolism for the day. Your body has already fasted since the dinner the day before (unless you eat supper, or take a cup of milk before sleeping like me, or take casein protein supplement like Macro_Simone). This is why breakfast is "Break Fast".
Sure, you will lose weight, but it may quite likely be more muscle mass than desired. Muscles are the one that help increase your resting caloric expenditure, and by losing it, your metabolic rate will drop, and make it harder for you to lose fats. This is another reason why diets do not work well, especially if there's a yo-yo effect. Each time you diet extremely, you lose both fats and muscle. You will then need to eat less and less to maintain the weight loss, which is clearly not desirable. Your amount of nutrients intake would not be sufficient. -
Never exercise on an empty stomach. It's counter productive.

if i do that hor.. i will faint halfway thru...
i get soooo hungry after i wake up... i wonder if i slpt for a few days straight..
den i start feeling faint if i dun start munching on food
-
possible but you will definately not be able to perform anywhere near your best.Worst case might even feel giddy while exercising,so at least eat a little something b4 going for your exercise

Maybe I'm paranoid hor...but seriously I can feel my body eating my muscles if i do it : X.
Haha anyway please do eat breakfast before exercise... kick start your metabolism so your exercise is actually efficient. You want to feel productive and BE productive...no point going in all weak and coming out losing more muscle than fat mass right?
Do be careful not to exercise directly after your meals, coz appendicitis is realli painful; and the operation will set your fitness goals back by weeks, even months. Before every action just think whether it's bringing you closer, or further from your goals.

what if my stomach doesnt wake up if i dont eat
i only feel hungry after my stomach wakes up which is after i put something into it -
means you need to put something inOriginally posted by cutie-pie:what if my stomach doesnt wake up if i dont eat

which is why I say breakfast kick starts your metabolism in the morning
before that, your body is still in a fasting state. Clearly, this is not desirable -

think best is to wait 2 hours right? before exercising? or is it 1 hour? -
Actually this is very normal. Coz when you sleep your body detects you are going into fasting mode...it releases chemicals to prevent you from feeliing hunger. Obviously you still feel this for a short extended period even after you wakie...I guess a way to counter this is to put off your morning exercise for an hour or so till your stomache fully awakes? Or at least drink milo first to rouse your appetite for a proper breakfast.Originally posted by cutie-pie:what if my stomach doesnt wake up if i dont eat

If you already *know* you put substiential nutrients in your body but still feel hungry you can go ahead and exercise. In fact you can look forward to your after work out meal to reward your exhausted muscles with its well-deserved nutrients!

Haha : X It's just a feeling that your muscle mass is being reduced. Or the *faint* feeling when you are all emaciated and numb and weak. Certainly isn't a healthy feeling. : OOriginally posted by shinta:eat muscles
