The advantages of working out before breakfast

working out before breakfast

Planning your workouts and meals so you can benefit from them? Sounds like a scam. But there is actual research on it. Studies have shown that working out before breakfast burns more fat.

The researchers found that the increased fat utilization is thought to be related to reduced insulin levels after a night without food. Although no difference in weight loss was observed compared to those working out after breakfast, those who fasted before a workout responded better to insulin.

What you do as a workout in the morning – strength training or cardio – is entirely up to you and your preferences. Another good thing about working out in the morning is that you’re more likely to do the workout. Many people tend to skip a workout the longer they delay it.

It would be best to have a healthy diet to make the most of a good workout routine. Quick and easy recipes will help you stay on track. A sufficient protein intake is essential, especially when working out. Our Fitline ProShape All-in-11,2 is a great product to add to your diet, whether you want to lose weight or build muscle. You can use it as a meal replacement or an addition to your usual diet to increase your protein supply.
