If you are in your program for weight loss, remember to eat right before exercise. You may ask curiously “why”? Actually, if you do exercise without having some food, your body will burn amino acids for fuel, which refers to muscle. This is because muscle is made up of amino acids. In any program for weight loss, we know that the most important thing is to maintain and build our lean muscle tissues and we do not wish to lose them in any condition.
So, regardless of what time you want to exercise, remember to eat some thing before exercise especially early in the morning and this can:
- Avoid low blood sugar level, so that you have energy to do your weight loss exercise more effectively either mentally or physically.
- Ensure that glycogen or fuel is always available to perform the exercise. Then your body will not burn amino acids (which refers muscle here) as fuel to perform the exercise.
