Start Exercising first thing in the morning.
As soon as you wake up in the morning workout for at least 30min to an hour. Studies show that working out in the morning has been shown to burn up to 3 times as more fat as opposed to working out at any other time during the day.
Here's Why: During the day your body's main source of energy is the carbohydrates that you get from eating your meals.
As you sleep at night for 6+ hours your body uses up all those carbohydrates as energy for various bodily functions that go on while you sleep.
When you wake up in the morning your body doesn't have any carbohydrates as energy to use and it will look to burn body fat instead for energy.
For you to take advantage of this morning fat burning opportunity you have to exercise first thing in the morning. Don't eat breakfast because if you do...
You'll just give your body some carbohydrates as a source of energy instead of the body fat that you want to burn for energy.
Another great thing about working out first thing in the morning is that your metabolism gets revved up after your morning workout. Morning workouts keep your metabolism elevated throughout the day.
An elevated metabolism throughout the day only means that you'll burn more calories and lose more weight.
If you workout at night you may still burn fat while you workout but as soon as you go to sleep your metabolism will slow down and you'll miss out on all the extra fat that you can burn during the day if you had exercised in the morning. When you sleep your metabolic rate is always at its slowest.
"A study carried out at Kansas State University (Wilcox, Harford & Wedel Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise, 17:2, 1985), indicates that a kilogram of fat will be oxidized sooner when exercising in the fasted condition in the morning than when doing the same exercise in the afternoon. By measuring respiratory gas exchange, caloric expenditure, and carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism, these researchers showed that the mass of fat burned during aerobic exercise amounts to 67% of the total energy expenditure achieved when the same exercise is done later in the day or in the fed state."
Eating breakfast in the morning also gets your metabolism started.
Don't skip breakfast and wait until mid-morning or afternoon to eat, your metabolism will run slower causing you not burn any extra fat.
Think about this way-Your metabolism is a fireplace that'll burn fat all day long for you if you operate it correctly. When you eat breakfast you are basically throwing a log onto that fireplace to get it started burning fat.
Eating breakfast will help stop those cravings you may have later on in the day and along with working out in the morning, eating breakfast will also keep you energized throughout the day and lower stress levels.

Only eating too much for your weight
and not being active causes weight gain
Adrian Bryant | 06.21.09 - 6:52 pm
hi. i haven't been eating breakfast for nearly 9 years now, and my BMI is 18.7.
i was wondering if i started eating breakfast, would i gain weight?
Samantha | 06.21.09 - 7:30 am
mistyleigh9508,
Usually most blaoting problems can be solved by drinking more water so are you drinking at least 1 liter -to- a gallon of water a day?
Avoid eating too many or mostly carbs in your diet.
Avoid too much salt and sugar and avoid sugarless gum which has stuff in it that causes bloating
Adrian Bryant | 05.12.09 - 6:27 pm

Thank you very much Adrian.
Thank you for your advices.
Matthew | 05.03.09 - 8:51 am
Matthew,
Look at the chart at the bottom also but here's some good workouts he can do to lose weight but...
He's not drastically overweight and according to the chart here at the bottom he's only 4 pounds overweight and if you put in 145 on the BMI calcualtor - his weight will come up as normal.
All I'm saying is - his weight where it is now is nothing to be alarmed about right now and with all the activity he's involved in - he should maintain or even lose weight by himself.
Instead of a workout he probably just needs a better diet which can be found at NowLoss.com/8
Adrian Bryant | 05.02.09 - 5:20 pm
I checked his BMI in the calculator you provided. His BMI is 25.3. It is overweight. His height is 64 inches and his weight is 147 pounds.
Why did you say he is not overweight?
Matthew | 05.02.09 - 11:39 am
Matthew,
He is not overweight for his height and weight - go here to check yourself
Adrian Bryant | 05.01.09 - 10:16 am
I will ask if there is a good workout for a 13-year-old boy. He is a taekwondo blue-belter and attends his class every Saturday for about 2 hours and also play Lawn Tennis every Wednesday for 1 to 2 hours. But he is overweight. His height is only 5"4 but his weight is 147 pounds. Is there any workout that will help him to lose 20-30 lbs. in 1 month?
Tnx.

Andrew,
Actually - it is that simple...
I've employed this technique and had great success.
You can without a doubt still burn fat if you eat something in the morning before workout but...
The results I've gotten from doing morning or fasted cardio has helped me a lot
Adrian Bryant | 03.04.09 - 7:11 pm
Working out before eating in the morning is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard.
"When you wake up in the morning your body doesn't have any carbohydrates as energy to use and it will look to burn body fat instead for energy."
Yes and shortly after your liver and brain run out of carbs you then pass out on the treadmill. But hey, I can see how you could think it would be a good idea. If only our bodies were as simple as that~

Hello:
I am 68 years of age. I am at my heaviest ever. I presently weigh 160 lbs. I have gained over 30 lbs. in the past 2 1/2 years. Please help me. What exercises should I do to lose weight along with cutting down on junk food & soda.
Thank you for your help & advice.
Dorothy | 03.02.09 - 6:05 am
Dean,
Your question about eating can be answered here
Fast weight loss workout #1 should only be done 3-to-4 times a week but if you want to workout beyond that...
I suggest you do LIGHT exercise like longer light walking or riding a bike for 45-to-90 minutes or...
You can do an arm bike if you have access to one - See the video here to see what I mean by arm bike
Adrian Bryant | 02.22.09 - 12:27 pm
Hi Adrian,
Really like this site and the fast weight loss workout videos. I've been doing the fast weight loss #2 and am already seeing results. My question is:
I have stopped eating recently and if I do eat, it is extremely minimal. I am trying to up my level of water intake as suggested on your site, but am not feeling the hunger like I used to for food. I am a big guy 25yo - 5"9 - 216lbs. Do you think I can continue down this path of barely eating and working out to get rid of all my stored fat before I start eating more regularly?
Also, My weight is mainly around my gut and the workouts I have been doing really tires out my legs for the next day, so I was wondering if there is any upper body workouts you could recommend that you do not have to use your legs for and still get a slimmer tummy?
P.S this site is great, been on it every day since I found it and have the workout video set as homepage.
Kindest Regards,
Dean

Adrian Bryant | 02.17.09 - 7:49 pm
Hi,
I'm a female, average height, approx. 130 pounds and looking to lose about 10 pounds as I feel I have some extra weight around my midsection and thighs. I recently have taken up an early morning workout routine before breakfast of intense climbing a steep trail up a small mountain next to my house, the ascent of which takes about 30 minutes. My question is this: are there more effective ways of climbing than others? For instance, is it more effective to be taking small breaks as I climb or should I be climbing continuously? I should also mention that I live in a very hot and humid tropical climate which makes any physical activity feel much more intense.
Dee | 02.17.09 - 7:30 pm
Yulia,
I admit - high intensity in mornings take getting used to but believe me...
Once you see the results it won't be no looking back
Good Luck!
Adrian Bryant | 02.12.09 - 3:25 pm
yes, i agree that morning exercise is healthy, but I am not sure if high intensity exercises are safe for the heart in the morning. well, i'll give it a try. i actually stared already this morning. i really want to loose fat from lower abdominals and love handles.
thank you. we can't stress enough how lucky we feel finding this very helpful free site where everything is easy to understand.
Yulia | 02.12.09 - 11:00 am
Yulia,
Never heard that "Myth" before but...
I've waking up in morning working out for at least 15 years now
Adrian Bryant | 02.11.09 - 7:36 pm
It is so motivating! Can't wait until tomorrow's morning to burn fat. But I have a question.. I was told it is bad for the heart to exercise in the morning..(( Is that true that in the long run I will have heart problems because I stress it right after I wake up?
Yulia | 02.11.09 - 4:29 pm
David M,
No - working out in the morning forces your body to burn more fat
Adrian Bryant | 02.11.09 - 12:43 pm

Before I read this I was struggling with my weight, but when I started reading all these articles! I soon realized all the mistakes that I have been making! You changed my life, and made me feel more confident and made me pass my physical test to get in the Naval Academy! You not only made me feel better and look great, but made me get into an excellent college.
Thank You so Much !!!
Jade,
Mainly you need to see how many calories you're eating total because in the end...
If you eat too much and underexercise - you'll gain weight regardless of how healthy you eat but...
Please read why you can't lose weight first
Amy,
You would lose more weight the earlier in the day you workout because if you're working out before you go to sleep then...
Your metabolism slows down as you sleep causing you to miss out on all the extra calories you could have burned if you exercise earlier in the day
Hi Adrian
I usually work out around 9 or 9:30 p.m. at night. Would it make any significant difference in weight loss if I continued to work out 4-5 days a week at night compared to working out in the morning. The only reason why I have a harder time going to the gym in the morning is because I am not a morning person and I have classes early in the morning thus giving me no time to hit the gym up in the morning prior to classes.
Please let me know what you think.

stephanie,
Cardio or fat burning exercises are always good for weight loss and...
Don't count your day job as activity because your body is probably used to your "job activity" so you will not burn as many calories (or lose weight)at your job and...
You can lose weight with exercise only but If you eat more than needed to maintain your weight - you'll either gain weight or not lose any weight at all.
Hi Adrian,
This exercising first thing in the morning is really working for me. I also seem to have a smaller appetite during the whole day as well.
My question is: during school time i cycle to school. it's 10km one way.
At the moment I go jogging for about 20 minutes and then eat breakfast. Would i get better results if i jogged, then cycled to schol and then ate breakfast?
Your homepage is really helpful by the way! and the best thing is that it's got all these tips for free ![]()

My workouts start at 5:30am with a 30min jog, then at 11am with a 1 hr taebo workout and then at 4pm I go for a 30min to 1 hr walk/run. I do this everyday, rain or shine, should I take a day to rest or is this okay?
you may not want to do tae-bo everyday since it's intense but the walking and running is fine
ok so I have been doing what this site said for a long time I have lost lots of weight the most I could but the fat In my stomach is just staying there I don't notice it dropping? what should I do about this? Do you know any good techniques I could use.
Also I have heard from a friend that if you do crunches you make muscle under your belly witch will make it look bigger is that true? It makes sense to me.
what is your weight and height?
you probably just need to lose more belly fat with more diet and exercise.
belly fat is usually the last to go
Hi everyone especially Samantha. Samantha I was came across you comment that you said you havnt had breakfast for 9 years that has to stop now! It is so important to eat breakfast in fact reseach has shown that people who eat breakfast lose more weight then the people who skip breakfast. The reason for this is because breakfast keeps you from snacking throughout the day. So please eat breakfast I am telling it is so important and keeps your metabolisum going. Another thing this guy said you should workout in the morning without eating breakfast I did this a long time ago once and I felt like I was going to faint because I didn't have anything to help keep me motivated to keep going. So work out anytime if day you have time for because no matter when you excerise the goal is to burn more calories then you consume so don't worry about working out in the morning. As long as your working out and burning calories it doesn't matter when you work out. And for the other lady that cut out fast food check out hungry-girl.com she has all of the best swaps for anything your craving and without burning you calorie budget. Good luck!
