Can running in the morning help you lose weight?

Many of my friends are accustomed to running when they get up in the morning. The temperature is relatively low in the morning, and after a night of sleep, the body's metabolic capacity will be greatly reduced. At this time, doing more outdoor activities can quickly speed up the metabolism and have a certain weight loss effect. Let us learn about some of the main benefits of morning running for weight loss.

Many people are used to getting up in the morning to run and exercise, which is a very correct approach, because the period before breakfast is the best time to jog.

Generally speaking, carbohydrates are consumed as energy in the first 20 minutes of jogging. After 20 minutes, fat begins to be burned as the second energy source. Therefore, we generally believe that aerobic exercise needs to last for 20 minutes or more to have the effect of burning fat.

However, when we wake up in the morning, a lot of carbohydrates have been consumed as energy during sleep, so if we run at this time, the fat in the body can be burned immediately as the first energy source. In other words, it can shorten the time before fat burning, allowing you to lose more fat in the same running time.

It is true that running in the morning can greatly enhance the effect of fat burning. It is really painful to get up early in the morning, especially in the cold autumn and winter when it is even more difficult to resist the "sleepiness demon". It may be very difficult to persist every day.

But don't worry, in fact, you only need to run three times a week, two of which should be scheduled at night, and one should be scheduled to run early in the morning on a rest day. Changing your running schedule in this way can also help you change your mood and enjoy the fun of jogging for weight loss.

It’s just that it’s best to eat something appropriate before running. After a night’s sleep, people’s stomachs are relatively empty and the blood sugar level in the body will drop. Sudden exercise can accelerate blood circulation, which can easily lead to hypoglycemia, causing people to feel dizzy or even faint.
