Re: Re: Morning workout best? Christie--

--- Christie,

You mentioned that you often don't eat before your

morning workouts. I have saved some info from an old

magazine that I thought you might be interested in.

Study - Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise -

2000.

Subjects: Those who exercise while dieting (caloric

restriction).

Found: It was found that when the person eats his/her

next meal, it will store as much of it as it possibly

can as fat, so it becomes much more difficult to lose

'body fat'.

The decreased caloric intake acts as an unrelenting

stressor to which the body responds by shutting down

metabolic processes and conserving energy.

Conclusion: Never exercise on an empty stomach or on

a caloric deficit, as it is very catabolic to the body

and will decrease your loss of body fat.

Maybe this is part of the reason you aren't losing

more weight (body fat). Just in idea!
