Does running before eating in the mornings really make a significance in fat loss? please help, thanks sam!

I found from perdsonal experience that it does indeed help. It is a good idea to get hydrated before you go though. Down some juice and water when you get up, and if you are a hevayweight have some raw egg whites with pepper too.

technically, your body goes into starvation mode if you try to work out on an empty stomach. basically what this means is that the next time that your body gets any type good carbs and fats, they will be stored in your body as fat. therefore, exercising without proper nutrition beforehand is not a good idea if you're looking for weight loss. eating the right kinds of food in correct portions before exercise will stimulate weight loss and will actually increase your metabolism in such a way that eating will power your body and allow you to lose weight. hope this helps...

Exercising without eating leads to muscle catabolism and an increase in laying down fat.

So you'll lose muscle size, strength, and put on more fat with fasted cardio.

what you guys suggest to eat before running? my stomach hurts like hell if I run at a hard pace after I eat, also I get up and 20 mins later I'm on the road so not much time to eat.

LOL.... seriously, one banana should cut it?

it depends on the individuals metabolism, i cannot make a fair and adequate conclusive post due to the fact that there is not a lot of information to digest:boxing:

Yep, or maybe two. according to what I read
"Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout"

by not eating before AM work outs you burn more fat?

If your using running to burn fat then just run in the evenings after your days food intake. You'll burn hundreds of the days calories. Running in the mornings is great, but id focus that more for just increasing your cardio and not fat loss.

There's a lot of ppl who think running on an empty stomach in the morning helps you burn fat, that probably depends on the pace of your run.

I tend to switch it up; at times I ran first then eat or eat then run. If I run then eat I'm usually still awake so my metabo is still kicking for a few hours.

Im sure it does, however if your then consuming 2,000, 3,000+ calories the rest of the day, personally I think its better to run in the evening to get stuck into getting rid of them. This just works for me anyway.

No there's no difference between a full stomach and an empty one.

when you run your not going to immediately start burning what you just ate you burn from your glycogen stores. if you just spent the whole night refilling your glycogen stores resting your going to have tons fuel to burn before you start burning fat and at that point your probably going to start burning muscle just as much as your burning fat.
