Getting Up Early Can Help You Lose 10 Pounds:::
by Ronald Goodpaster
Weight gain can be a very slow process. For most people, it is a
matter of one pound here, one pound there, and the next thing
you know you're 10 pounds heavier. This is why almost everyone,
at one point or another, will want to lose 10 pounds. To lose 10
pounds is very realistic for almost everyone, and is achievable
though some small changes in diet and by exercising more. The
vast majority of people, with their busy schedules, get little
or no exercise, so even a small bit of regular exercise should
be able to achieve noticeable results. If we don't have time to
exercise a great deal, though, we're going to want to maximize
the effectiveness of the exercise we do get, and a great way to
do that is by exercising in the morning.
There are two main reasons why you can more easily lose 10
pounds by exercising in the morning. The first has to do with
the fact that it is much easier to build into your daily
routine. One of the keys to losing weight by exercise is to do
it regularly, which many people find difficult:
it's always hard
to find time. So a great reason for exercising in the morning is
that you'll have very little distraction. In many ways, you are
literally "making time" for the exercise by starting your day
earlier.
Now, in terms of your goal to lose 10 pounds, morning exercise
will be more effective because you will be burning calories from
fat already in your system. This principle is based, of course,
on the idea that you don't eat before you exercise. The way
you're going to lose 10 pounds is by burning fat, and when you
exercise your body normally burns both fat and carbohydrates.
Now it gets a little more complicated: your body's main and
preferred energy source is carbohydrates, so when you exercise
you will (more or less) burn carbohydrates first, and then your
body will dip into its fat reserves.
Carbohydrates come from your meals, so when you exercise at a
normal time of the day your body will have plenty of
carbohydrates to burn. In trying to lose 10 pounds, however,
you're hoping to burn fat.
If you exercise in the morning on an
empty stomach, you're burning energy at a time when your body's
carbohydrate levels are the lowest, and therefore more fat will
be burned with the same amount of exercise. There have been
studies that suggest over 250% more fat is burned when you
exercise in this state.
There is never any immediate way to lose 10 pounds - ultimately,
losing weight requires smart dietary decisions and a well
thought out routine of exercise. By exercising in the morning,
however, you will be giving yourself a distinct advantage in
that battle to lose 10 pounds - you will be privy to not only a
physiological advantage, but also the practical one of
conducting your exercise at the beginning of the day without
distraction.
