- Is it bad to exercise on an empty stomach? -

[Pulchritudinous]

Lately I've been going running for about 20 minutes every morning, before eating breakfast, is it bad to do this?

Exercising on an empty stomach burns your existing body fat, resulting in loosing more weight.
I always hear people talking about this, but I'm very sure that if your determined to loose weight, before exercising, don't eat anything.
Some may disagree, I did but when you think about it, if you have an empty stomach, all your going to burn is stored fat that covers parts of your body etc...

After exercise on a empty stomach, its good to eat meat, consists of needed fats, protein, iron depending on what meat you eat. I've been doing exactly what you have for a few weeks and I'm starting to notice the difference.

Hope this helps.

Usually I do jogging/press ups, as soon as I get up. I then find that I build a bigger appetite

Omg I never knew that you could lose weight.
Lol I'll just carry on doing it then, I thought it would just tone up my legs, but if I'll loose weight too then thats prettay nifty!

Well if you break a sweat then yeh, you will loose weight, when I go jogging, I wear 2 layers of clothing so it makes me sweat more

People used to train or exercise wrapped in clingfilm, Lol but that would make you sweat loads.

I agree with Nekkle, i shouldn't think it will do any harm whatsoever.

I go running for 30 minutes on a morning before eating breakfast and i've found no problems with it. I used to feel sick when i came back but that was when i first started doing it and i wasn't used to it.
