Kasm asked:


I wake up every morning at 8 to exercise. Should I eat something before I workout? If so how long should I wait after eating to exercise? I don't really have time in the morning so Im planning on just waking up and working out on a empty stomach.

Any opinions?

.Exercise?

xMistakes asked:


I'm 5'5 and weight about 125. I'm trying to lose some pounds overall so I can thin out my thighs. I've already limited my junk food intake. I'm an extremely picky eater, so I don't eat any fruits, vegetables, and the majority of meats. Yeah, I know -- I'm a total freak for disliking all that. I've read in several places online that eating 6 small meals a day and then exercising helps to lose weight.. but I can't really eat that often in the day.

The way I'd prefer to exercise is using a stationary bike. I was wondering how long I should exercise on the bike each day to lose 10-15 pounds before the end of the year? And maybe what I should limit my caloric intake to in respect to the exercise so I can lose that weight? Thanks a ton guys!

I am starting the South Beach Diet, and plan on exercising throughout to maximize my weight loss effort. However, I know that my body is going to feel very sluggish during the first 2 weeks as it is so adjusted to having an abundance of carbs. How critical is it to exercise during those first two weeks?
