Exercise before breakfast

Running on an empty stomach turns out to be not a bad idea. Although most athletes consume food before exercise, exercising on an empty stomach can burn fat faster.
It has been stated in various research evidence. More recently, researchers from Europe found that cycling athletes who trains without eating first significantly burn more fat than the athlete who eats.
Our muscles get energy from carbohydrates, which is why most athletes like Lance Armstrong usually consume small amounts of food before cycling. However, if we eat just before exercise, the body does not have a reserve of carbohydrates.  So what is burned is the fat.
“When you exercise on an empty stomach, adrenaline levels increased and insulin is low. The ratio is appropriate to break down more muscle fatty acid,” said Peter Hespel, sports psychology expert from Belgium.
