or do you not eat anything? I seem to remember something about exercising on
an empty stomach in the morning being more conducive to fat burning. anybody
have any ideas/suggestions? thanks!

you know, i think this post will spark the usual debate about food
before or after exercise.
i DO NOT eat before i do yoga and i DO NOT eat before i go for my
morning walk, without any difficulty.

i suspect you will hear something different for different types of
exercise.

Bill Philips of EAS/Body for Life fame promotes doing cardio first thing in the
morning on an empty stomach. He believes you will burn more fat due to fasting
over night depleting your glycogen stores. With depleted glycogen, your body
burns stored fat instead. It's been a while since I saw his video/read the
book/did the BFL program so maybe someone else can explain this theory better.

What I'm wondering, though, if since low-carbing already depletes your glycogen
stores and taps into fat burning, does this theory really pertain to us?

BTW I almost always work out (lift weights, not cardio) on an empty stomach
just because I don't have time to eat in the morning before hitting the gym.

Breakfast. Scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. One hour in the gym six days
a week, alternating load bearing and cardio.

I have not exercised in the morning for a while now. The first thing I do
is get up and dress to go out for a cup of coffee to the convenience store/
gas pump a couple doors down from my house. That morning coffee does the
trick! (I don't make any coffee at all at home; I have teabags available
if I don't want coffee)

I'll get something like a couple chocolate chip cookies to go with coffee,
then might have a submarine (blt with light oil and mayo) at the pizza/
sub down the street. In the evening I'll open a can of Progresso soup
or cook spaghetti with sauce.

I have a big glass or two of water (and my Synthroid pill g) before my
morning walk. It's not good for you to exercise when dehydrated. In fact,
in my weight-loss group the leaders always stressed to take a water bottle
with you, even on walks, and keep sipping. I don't do that but sometimes I
wish I had brouht one!

Exercise actually takes the edge off my appetite and I am likely to feel
less hungry all morning... have my two-egg breakfast and tea, and I'm good
to go until lunch.

I actually don't eat anything before I exercise first thing in the
morning, but immediately following, I have my first two glasses of
water. I then eat whatever it is I'm having for breakfast.

I seem to remember that the Eades, in "Protein Power" stated that exercising
in the morning on an empty stomach promoted release of growth hormone, which
if true would make it tend to promote fat burning and muscle development.

I don't have my book any more to check, so if I've not recalled this
correctly, please feel free to comment.

Sometimes I eat before working out, sometimes I don't. It depends on my
schedule and if I overslept or not. I've noticed that when I don't eat, I
am really hungry afterwards, and when I do eat, sometimes I get side cramps
while working out. So when I do eat, I try to keep it to something light.
