Eat After Execise!


Exercising without eating beforehand may help burn more fat.

The AP (6/4, Cheng) reports, "Though many athletes eat before training, some scientists say that if you really want to get rid of more fat, you should skip the pre-workout snack." In a study published in April in the journal by Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, researchers found that fasting bicyclists "burned a higher proportion of fat to carbohydrates than the group that ate." The investigators theorized that "exercising without eating produces muscles that are better at absorbing glucose," a finding that may help patients with diabetes "control their insulin levels."
