RE: eating before cardio

[Guest guest]

I think the whole eating before exercising is totally subjective. From what

I've read, though, you get the maximum benefits of fat-burning if you do

cardio on as empty a stomach as possible. I personally find that, if I eat

anything before running, I get a cramp around the second mile. It's

happened both times that I've run after having any type of meal - in the

afternoon once, and while doing a 5K after I had eaten a banana. That's the

problem for me with races is that they don't start until 8:00 or 8:30, and

normally I eat my first meal around 6:30 or 7am.

Anyhow - sorry for going off on the tangent. My advice would be to go with

what works for you, but for maximum fat loss do it on as empty a stomach as

possible.

I've read a lot of the debates about this and find that for me I do best if I do

a

really small protien meal before I work out, usually I grab an egg out of the

boiled eggs bin I keep in the fridge and munch on the egg white on my way to

the gym. While I'm sure it decreases the total fat burning potential by a

little I

find my energy level stays up and I don't tend to get too many tummy rumbles.

The suggestion of caffine can be good for some people, but for others caffine

first thing in the morning leads to an acid stomach or jitters. The other thing

to

try is a big glass of water first thing in the morning to help get you going.

Early

energy depletion can be tied to water loss and dehydration. The key is that

you do what works best for YOU. Try several of the wonderful suggestions

given here and find what you're happy with.

Best of luck.

I have found that the final meal from the night before gives me the fuel I need

for my morning workouts. I figured this out when I started loosing energy a few

mornings and then realized that I didn't have my final meal for one reason or

another. Now, I make sure I've planned my day so that I can get in that last

meal. Also, I have mine rather late, usually 9:30 or 10:00 and do the workout

at 5:00.

It helps to take Betagen and a Thermogenic Support Stack 30 minutes before

the workout.
