Absolutely. In fact, this should stimulate the desire to exercise. If you

can't motivate yourself to do exercise, it's probably because you're eating

meals during the day.

However, I believe that one simply cannot gain optimal health without exercise,

regardless of diet. Something to keep in mind for the long-run.

Actually, word around the gym from just hearing people talking is exercising

on an empty stomach is more beneficial. I also recall a private conversation

Suze and I had months ago before anyone started the WD on this list (except

, I guess) in which she told me the more she eats before she works out

the less energy she has. Moreover, all the anecdotes thrown aroudn on the list

lately indicate the WD, which involves not eating meals during the day,

increases folks' daytime energy.

Anyway, you don't necessarily count as far as my point goes, because you are

on a very low-carb diet. Questionable as to ketogenesis, but nevertheless

insulin-suppressant. Also, I don't know how much you eat at once, but if you're

loading on the fat, you might be eating relatively small meals, in which case

you may not be overstimulating relaxation-related hormones, nor over-taxing

your digestive system.

It's important to keep in mind that eating *meals* doesn't mean eating per

se, it means big meals. Snacking on food or drinks that supply macro- and

micro-nutrients is an important part of undereating, so long as high-glycemic

fruits/veggies, starches, and sugars are avoided, and high-calorie meals are

avoided. Undereating is totally relative and basically means eating less than

you

normally would if you were eating equal-sized meals.

Finally, I'm suggesting this to someone who has a problem being motivated to

exercise, not someone who has no problem.

But in the final analysis, exercise is superior on an empty stomach, and

exercise is superior if followed by an insulin spike, regardless of your own

motivation.

ummm, can you elaborate on this? I have no problem being motivated to

exercise while eating meals during the day. And since nearly everyone who

exercises DOES eat meals during the day, I'm having trouble following you here..
