To
lose more weight exercise on empty stomach
Early risers who exercise before
breakfast can burn up to 20% more body fat than others who exercised after
having something to eat, says a study.
Researchers sought to find out if
the known benefits of exercising after an overnight fast were undermined by an
increased appetite and eating more food later in the day.
A team from University of
Northumbria at Newcastle asked 12 active men to perform a bout of treadmill
exercise at 10 am, either after having breakfast or in a fasted state; having
not eaten since the previous evening.
After their exercise, all
participants were given a chocolate milkshake recovery drink.
Later in the day, participants were
provided with a pasta lunch which they were asked to eat until they felt
"comfortably full".
Their lunchtime consumption of
energy and fat was assessed and calculated, taking into account the amount of
energy and fat burned during the morning period.
The researchers, led by Emma
Stevenson and Javier Gonzalez, found the ones who had exercised in the morning
did not consume additional calories or experience increased appetite during the
day to compensate for their earlier activity.
It was also found that those who
exercised in a fasted state managed to burn nearly 20% more fat than those who
had taken breakfast before their workout.
It showed that performing exercise
on an empty stomach provides the most desirable outcome for fat loss.
