    If you are heading to the gym or pounding the pavements in the hope of losing weight, try to do it before you eat your breakfast.
    Exercising before the first meal of the day is more effective than after it, a British study has found.
    Not only does working up a sweat on an empty stomach burn off more body fat – helping you lose those extra inches around the waist – it also triggers a bigger reduction in artery-clogging blood fats.
    Although the benefits of exercise are well-known, people have been unsure about whether it is better to do it on an empty stomach or a full one.
    Dr Jason Gill, who conducted the research at Glasgow University, said that while exercise in itself is good, any done before breakfast may be extra beneficial, because it forces the body to rely on its stores of fat for energy.
    ‘When people talk about losing weight, they really mean losing fat,’ he added.

    My weight stays steady now, but that's more to do with diet (not dieting) than with exercise, although exercise certainly helps.

    After, you can eat more because your body burns it up quicker when you have just finished exercising, if you eat straight after your boby thinks it's still moving and burns it up more .

    eat something light, before going.....preferably some protein....... so you won't feel faint or weak while working out.
