Quotes

  • Gustavo Martinez Mujicahas quoted6 years ago
    Exercising on an empty stomach makes you lose weight faster
    Exercising on an empty stomach – such as first thing in the morning – may force your body to burn more fat than carbohydrate for fuel, but it won’t necessarily help you lose weight faster.

    So, how much carbohydrate should you eat? There are no hard and fast rules – it’s essentially a matter of minimising sugars and processed starches, and replacing them with foods rich in protein and healthy fats. These foods reduce appetite, promote satiety, and cause an automatic restriction in calories (making calorie counting unnecessary in many cases). Protein also spares muscle, so you should be able to maintain your hard-earned muscle while losing fat.

      you do high-intensity endurance training, then you’ll certainly need carbohydrate immediately before and after training as you can’t fuel intense exercise (more than 70 per cent of maximal aerobic capacity) from fat alone.
