Question Posted Thursday December 28 2006, 10:32 am
I used to excercise 1 hour before I eat but actually I don't think my stomache digested the food in an hour because I get a stomache ache so I started excercising right before I eat my meals and my Dad told me to stop because it's unhealthy. I need a professional to answer this one. If it's not healthy to excercise right before eating lunch, then when is it a good time to excercise?

When you do this it helps to stimulate your metabolism and burns energy more efficiently throughout the day. There is even evidence that people get a better nights sleep if they work out in the morning. I've included a couple of websites that have information you may enjoy reading.
Working out after you eat is a bit difficult at times because you have to wait @ least an hour before you can get a good workout in. If you don't wait at least an hour your workout could be sluggish and/or you could make yourself ill. I'm sure there are people who it doesn't affect, as in all things, but most people don't fare well doing it that way.
Each person is different and you have to figure out what works best for you. What may work for your father may not work for you. You need to listen to your body and do things that works best and helps you achieve your desired results.

Exercising after a meal can make you sick...as you have found out.
