Exercising before breakfast burns twice more fat than after

People can have better control over their blood sugar levels by changing the timing of when they eat and exercise, according to a study which may help plan lifestyle interventions to counter diabetes and reduce body weight.

The researchers, said that people who performed exercise before breakfast burned double the amount of fat than those who exercised after the morning meal. 
 

The results of the study, revealed that performing exercise in the overnight-fasted state could increase the health benefits of exercise for individuals, without changing the intensity, duration, or perception of their effort.

 

The researchers conducted a six-week study involving thirty male participants classified either as obese or overweight, and compared the results from two groups—those who ate breakfast before exercise, and those who ate after.

The study also involved a control group of participants who made no lifestyle changes, the researchers said. 

The increased fat use is due to lower insulin levels during exercise
 when people have fasted overnight, indicating that they can use
more of the fat from their fat tissue and the fat within their muscles
 as a fuel, the researchers said.

While the six-week study did not lead to any significant weight
loss in the participants, the researchers added that it did have
“profound and positive” effects on their health since their bodies
were better able  to respond to insulin, keeping blood sugar levels
under control, and potentially lowering the risk of  diabetes and
heart disease.

“Our results suggest that changing the timing of when you eat in
relation to when you exercise can bring about profound and positive
 changes to your overall health,” said co-author of the study

Gonzalez said that the group who exercised before breakfast
increased their ability to respond to insulin, which he added was
more significant as both exercise groups lost similar amount of
weight, and gained similar fitness levels.

“The only difference was the timing of the food intake,” he said.

According to the researchers, the muscles from those who exercised
before breakfast showed more  increase in key proteins, specifically
those involved in transporting glucose from the bloodstream
to the muscles.

However, the researchers noted that the short-term study involved
only men, and they look to explore the longer-term effects of this
type of exercise, and whether women benefit in the same way as men.
