(Newswire.net — October 29, 2015) — Fasted Exercise Can Lead to Greater Fat Loss (Gourmet Daily – October, 2015). It has been debated whether skipping breakfast before exercise is beneficial to losing weight. According to a study by researchers at Northumbria University, morning cardio on an empty stomach can result in a 20 percent increase in fat burning, and also help control appetite. Even after a morning workout on an empty stomach, participants did not show an increase in appetite or consume additional calories to make up for their missed meal in the morning.
One of the lead researches, PHD student Javier Gonzalez, said: “In order to lose body fat we need to use more fat than we consume. Exercise increases the total amount of energy we expend and a greater proportion of this energy comes from existing fat if the exercise is performed after an overnight fast.”
In summation, instead of burning calories gained by breakfast, exercising before breakfast results in burning more existing fat. Yet it’s not only about working out before eating breakfast. In order or to achieve greater fat loss during your morning exercise your body should be in a fasted state. That means no more late night meals or snacks.
When eating, especially when in-taking carbohydrates, your body experiences am increase in insulin and glycogen. Insulin works to digest food and store fat and glycogen is the result of our bodies using carbohydrates as an energy source. When both insulin and glycogen levels are low, fat burning increases. This effect can be used to compound the fat lost by exercising – so you can burn more fat with less work.
