When’s the best time to eat: before or after a workout? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. New research out of Universities of Bath and Birmingham suggests that eating after a workout may be more beneficial than eating before. The researchers studied three different groups. The first group ate breakfast before exercise, the second ate after exercise, and the third group didn’t make any changes. All three groups were given the same meal. The group that ate after exercise burned up to twice as much fat than the group that ate before. Why? Because your body is kicked into fasting mode when you sleep. When you eat before exercising, your body uses the insulin created by eating instead of using stored fat.
