Nutrition Tip - Can Protein/Carbs Before Exercise Help to Burn Fat?
As we all know, nutrition is a key part of any fitness program. This especially applies to your workout nutrition. Here is a great tip from John Berardi on the topic:
Protein/Carbs Before Exercise To Burn Fat?
by Dr. John Berardi
While nearly everyone nowadays knows that pre, during, and post exercise nutritional intake is critical for improving protein status and glycogen synthesis, most people fear that the ingestion of protein and carbohydrates during these times will decrease fat oxidation (burning).
Well, put simply, they’re wrong (sticking out tongue).
Studies have demonstrated that even in the presence of a relatively high carbohydrate intake (and large insulin response), the addition of protein to a carbohydrate meal can increase fat burning during exercise.
So it looks like a well-designed pre, during, and post exercise intake will not only improve protein status and glycogen resynthesis but it may actually increase fat burning. Bigger and leaner? Say it ain’t so.

I have tried so many diet programs without success and nearly gave up, and then I bought and tried Fat Loss for Idiots. It is a no-nonsense approach that really worked for me!
Protein help build and recover your muscle, not help burn fat.

When I was a child, I studied it is better to exercise than to go on diet. The diet will help a lot in getting good shape if you carry out exercises daily for a good one hour or more time.

Very useful Information..

I normally have a whey/oatmeal shake preworkout.
My trainer told me that its okay to eat all the things I love to eat but with moderation, and accompanied by exercise before the day ends, and i think he’s right, because I already shed 26 lbs of my weight, but I want to try whats written in this article too.

Your post hits the nail on the head. Eating right combined with regular exercise will pretty much always result with a leaner body. Unfortunately, carbs have been given a bad reputation the last 10 years. I try to educate my patients that it is the type of carbohydrates they eat that are the problem. Keep the good information coming!
I’ve always wondered if proteins before exercise has benefits. Someday I’m going to put on a bit of a experiment. Thanks for the post!
i think protein is a great supplement for diet .
Whey protein has shown to increase fat oxidation. Having carbs before a workout will give you the energy to give a hard workout and thus help you burn the calories and work your muscles to hypertrophy. Increasing your lean mass will raise your RMR.
this is pretty cool ..
i’m gonna try this .. i wish that it works ..
thanx for the post ,its good for me that protien addition in diet can increase the fat burning ,i was searching like that
thanx
hmm, i never thought so before i read this article but now it’s clear. Now i know that they are wrong.
I think I’m pretty sure that Protein is one of the Main Factor/Point to increase diet goal possibility, and also it’s a good supplement for us while doing a diet program. Which means it can’t be separated from diet programs.
