Thread: How to burn more fat during workout

I read a very interesting article from MSNBC.com just now and it tells how we can burn more fat during workout. It's simple...Don't eat before you exercise. The scientist suggest that since our body is low in food and doesn't have carbohydrates to use as energy during exercise, it will use our fat reserve as fuel instead.

A study was conducted to prove this theory and their findings were favorable. The group who didn't eat any carbohydrates during workout burned a significant amount of fat than those who ate.

This mean exercising on an empty stomach isn't so bad after all..

Oh really? I always eat first before exercise since I thought exercising with an empty stomach isn't good.. I'm glad to be proven wrong on this one..

Thanks for posting this mikaela.. This helps us a lot.. However, I think that would depend on how extreme your workout is.. The theory makes sensebut perhaps the study was only based on regular exercise routines

i didn't know this at first too.. I also believed it's best to exercise after you ate.. I tried exercising before breakfast 2 days ago.. It was a little difficult since I feel like I don't have enough energy..

Thanks for the tip stevetan. I don't usually use supplements but it might help other dieters who wants to burn more fat during their workout. Of course, it would work best to those who want to build big muscles.

Insanity 60 days

That phase scares me a bit.. I'm sure there is a reason why it's called insanity.. I don't think I can manage that workout

If you learn to do deep breathing exercises you elevate your metabolism and that allows the weight loss process to work better during exercise

My exercise routine is sports so I never play with a full stomach because it makes me feel uncomfortable. And I have to say that it does speed up the burning process

Deep breathing exercise? How do you do that? I didn't know that lisa so it is good that you shared this with us. Is there a special routine to doing deep breathing exercise?

How to burn more fat during workout?

I just tell you what I see in gyms. People go to gym and socialize, instead of working out. You see them sitting around, talking to each other and waiting for equipments. You are not going to lose fat with that kind of workout! You need to have a planned workout with time to start and time to finish. You need to keep your heart rate up, and you need to sweat. So, instead of “working out” in your gym for two hours, write down a 30 minutes workout routine and stick with it. Keep your heart rate up. You could add some magic trick: drink ice cold water. You body would need to generate a heat therefore burning more calories.
