Your definitely burning calories but if your taking in more calories than you are burning them, then the excess IS turning into fat.  The body only uses what it needs and then stores the rest for a time when let's say you skip a meal.  If you keep this up you will be storing more fat than burning it.  Why don't you substitute the sweet candy for some sweet fruit?  Get some peaches, apricots, oranges or strawberries, these are better for you and they contain water and you can get a good dose of vitamin C.

I think if you eat something small like a granola bar or something, so you at least have some fuel (energy) to use when exercising, it is ok. I heard that if you do that, have a good work out, and then eat, it's actually better because after working out your metabolism is going fast & is ready to burn off what you eat next. I don't know if that's totally accurate, but it is what I have heard.

You better be drinking plenty of water. If you dehydrate as a result of this intense routine you are doing, then you will become very sick.\n\nNext, you have to eat properly. A large breakfast with lean proteins, like egg whites (no butter, no mayonnaise, no bacon, no margarine) or turkey breast would be preferred, along with some whole grain bread (do not eat whole wheat bread). You can have 6 - 8 oz of fresh fruits with it.\n\nA breakfast like this will significantly reduce your appetite for the rest of the day, and, it will cause you to burn calories.\n\nSupersnacks, like half a banana with a teaspoon of peanut butter, are highly recommended. Other good snacks are a handful of pumpkin seeds, one 6 oz fat free yogurt (calcium helps you lose weight), or a small salad of fresh vegetables flavored with olive oil and balsamic vinegar is an excellent choice.\n\nFact: pumpkin seeds have a unique chemical makeup that not only promotes the removal of excess fat, but hydrates your skin with oils. It works as well as facial moisturizers.\n\nFact: vinegar has the odd property of interacting with your stomach's digestive chemicals in such a way as to make you feel fuller than you really are.\n\nBreak up your cardio routine: do the elliptical runner one day, the stationary cycle another day, and treadmill it the next day. Get in a group cardio class and to further break it up, do a very brisk 60 min power walk. This way, you won't get bored: your mind is restimulated by a change of scenery, as well as your body.\n\nFact: sweating. Underrated. You are burning calories galore when you get a good sweat on: low intensity cardio routines burn fat better than high intensity cardio routines. This is because high intensity cardio routines require quick energy, which is provided by carbohydrates because it is easier for your body to process them, but carbs are in smaller quantities in your body than fat. Fat is harder for your body to break down, but is a great energy source, so, lower intensity cardio burns that excess fat right off of you. And, sweating hard will detoxify your body. You will improve your complexion tremendously.\n\nDo not eat food after 6 pm. Chrono-metabolic processes start to slow down as our bodies prep for sleep. Food takes longer to digest and won't be digested as well. You will wake up in the morning feeling hungry, which is good because I want you to eat that large, balanced, healthful breakfast example I mentioned.\n\nDo not rush weight loss---bad thing to do. Let your body do it at its own pace. You have a lifetime of a particular nutritional habit that your body doesn't want to give up, so go easy on yourself, be kind to yourself, set a realistic goal, and you will enjoy the lifetime of benefits from your very hard work.\n\nAnd, hang out with other people who have similar health goals. Surrounding yourself with people who are positive and upbeat about what you are doing is some great motivation.\n\nI don't know how long it will take you to achieve your fitness goals, but be realistic. You will be kind to your soul, you won't get discouraged, and you will be successful.\n\nPeace by with you ! ! ! !

When it comes to sports nutrition, your weight makes you and ideal candidate to eat anything you would like, within reason.  There are a number of factors, other than the surface question to take into consideration, such as what is the length and/or duration of your run and the intensity with which you run.  If you are currently not eating before your runs, try having a snack consisting of carbohydrates and protein (i.e. a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole grain bread).  You will need to find what works best with your body, and this will take some trial and error.  Hang in there, and you will find the right balance of when and what to eat.  Also, look for articles and advice from Nancy Clark.  She's a sports nutritionist with great advice and number of columns on sport websites in addition to other publications.

the only serious studies, involving professional or near-professional, athletes, have not come to any conclusion regarding this.\n\nthere also does not seem to be any correlation between the time people usually train, and their performance during a race, if held (or not) at the time they usually train.\n\nto lose or maintain weight, it's simple thermodynamics, it's a matter of how many calories are spent, and how many consumed.  Running, for example, will consume about 70 to 75 calories for an average adult male of normal weight, and that's irrespective of when in the day the person runs.\n\nexercising intensively in the morning, if not had time to properly warm-up, can lead to injuries.  But exercising at night, on tired muscles, can also lead to injuries.  Exercising too close to bed time is said to lead to lower quality of sleep in the early sleep.\n\nexercising early, if it takes so much time that the person has to skip breakfast, could accelerated weight loss - but the effect would be opposite if the person then felt so hungry that they'd have two chocolate bars at 10am.  Same for exercising over lunch.\n\n\nBottom-line: I'd say that all times of the day are pretty much equivalent, and that each person should just pick those times that they feel better about, and /or that best fit their daily schedule.

Be careful with this one mate. There are times when that is correct, and times when that is slightly misleading. At times, if all you think you need to do is get some sugar into you that you're doing more damage than helping yourself out.\n\nNow, a really hard run, are you referring to a short and hard run, or a longer hard run?\n\nFor long runs->\n    Important things to think about are the basic biological processes of aerobic respiration. You can find yourself incredibly tired after a long (especially  when it's harder, but that's common sense) run. During long runs most of your activity will be aerobic, meaning that your body uses glucose and oxygen to go through it's normal respiration. Your body doesn't have that much glucose in your bloodstream though, so where does it get it from? Glycogen is a larger molecule used to store glucose in your muscles. As your body uses up the glucose in your blood, the glycogen is released, and therefore more glucose is available. Glucose = sugar. You're pretty much not going to be using up your glycogen supply unless you go around 18-20 miles (you'll notice in marathons that for some reason a huge portion of the dropouts stop in that range when they "bonk" or "hit the wall" ... this is the wall, and the reason for that).\n\nSo you say,  what does this have to do with eating sugar? You need to replace all this used up glycogen (called glycogen replenishment) in your body. This is where you hear about carbo-loading and similar things. That's an attempt to store all the glycogen you possibly can before a race or game or whatever you may be doing. Carbohydrates are what they call complex sugars. Complex sugars are what make up glycogen, and are basically long strings of glucose bonded together that your body can break apart and have a very efficient fuel source from. On the other end of the spectrum, you have your simple sugars. Things like table sugar, the sugar in an apple (or any fruit), sugary candy, etc etc are all examples of simple sugars. This is just glucose (or another sugar molecule, but that's getting into unnecessary complications) and does not form glycogen in your body. It hits your blood stream as simple sugars, and this is the reason for the "sugar high". Ingesting this sort of sugar after a long run has it's purpose as well, but much less so. If you've ever felt like taking a nap after a long run, you're feeling the effects of the lower glucose levels after you run and use so much of it. A little simple sugar hits the bloodstream quickly and helps to keep you going until the complex sugars can provide your true, longer term energy. \n\nSo ... long running = you need to replenish glycogen stores in your body, and you're kinda crashing a bit. Drinks like powerade contain simple sugars, but also your more needed complex sugars. Don't rely on powerade alone though, the ratio is all wrong there, and one little bottle is not enough after a run. This is where the idea of eating something after a hard/long workout comes into play. Complex sugars need not be ingested immediately, but remember that eating pasta (full of carbs aka complex sugars) doesn't give you an immediate energy boost, but the sort that lasts all day. Only simple sugars and no complex will serve as a quick boost, but only drop you even lower. You run the risk of all sorts of unhealthy complications, but most commonly (aka it happens everytime, the complications happen rarely) is that you are just that much more exhausted. You really can run as long as 20+ miles in the morning and be awake for the day ... that wouldn't be the way though.\n\nFor short runs->\n     Much of shorter/hard running is anaerobic. This means that your body needs so much energy so fast that you simply can't afford to be going through the normal aerobic respiration cycle. Here your muscle cells switch to anaerobic respiration also called fe

When my already crazy-skinny sister ran cross country and got even skinnier- we made her drink a big milkshake every night before bed.  That way her body could absorb at least some of the calories before she burned them all off.  If you exercise, always be sure to refuel with carbs and proteins within an hour.  Timing is critical!

try to burn as much as u eat that will keep u fit
835967
no as long as you are not overdoing it make sure you are replenishing your fluids and eating enough carbs try energy bars and eat (healthy food)

None.\n\nYou need to lower your bodyfat levels.\n\nTo do this you need to burn more calories than you consume.\n\nThis can be achieved through a combination of calorie counting and exercise.

I would eat a healthy lunch that may consist of a turkey sandwich on wheat bread, an energy drink, and a fruit like an apple.  Not too heavy, because you do not want to feel sick after the run/walk.  That has happened to me before...refrain from eating at least one hour before moderate/intense exercise otherwise you may experience stomach ache.  Be sure to drink fluids before and during the run/walk.  Have fun.

You would only see fat on your body if your daily intake of calories was more than you used in activity. Also, this ratio has to occur over time, like a week. If you eat a Snicker bar tonight and nothing all day you will not get fat. If you eat 3,000 calories today AND  Snicker bar tonight you WILL  get fat. It's that simple. Fat is created from excess calories.

You may never get it, or you may get it tomorrow. If you are fit and exercise and are keeping active, you are no doubt burning all the carbs and sugars before they turn around and bite you in the butt. However, you may build an intolerence to your insulin, and if that happens, you will no longer be able to get rid of those sugars quickly. Diabetes is a silent preditor, so if I were you, I would simply watch the amount of sugar consumed and find out what the healthy amount of carbs and sugar are consumable for someone your age and weight and height. Moderation is always the key. Why push luck?

yes but it depends on wat ur eating and how u exercise
1187026
Yes.You will loose a little at first and your body will used stored fat.But as soon as you start eating again,your body is going to replace it and then some.I would try sensibly dieting.Thats the only way to keep it off

Depends on what kind of exercise you will be doing.  My reccomendation is that if you plan on doing ANY running, DO NOT eat within two hours before you go.\nIf you're planning on just doing lifting or aerobics or stuff like that though, eat a Powerbar before or after with 8 oz of water.\nYou can eat whatever you want after, that's all on your eating habits and weight loss/gain goals.\nMake sure to stay hydrated though!

No.  In fact, it is a good thing.\nYou will be charging your body with glucose (sugar), and likely potassium, sodium, and other essential electrolytes.  So long as you actually workout (not just prance about the gym trying to attract attention), you will be fine.\n\nThe danger is in drinking too much of these drinks...and not working out.  You will overload your body with these electrolytes and actually dehydrate yourself...and potentially cause organ damage.\n\nGood luck, and stay active!
