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. .
