What's good to eat before excercise?

Date: May 05, 2007 03:59PM I've been drinking 16oz of Orange Juice in the morning before taking my dog for a walk and towards the end I get symptoms of low blood sugar. I usually feel better not having food in me digesting while doing any form of excercise... but not lately. I thought OJ was good for blood sugar too. Edited 1 time(s).

Date: May 05, 2007 05:01PM The same thing happened to me recently (I had watermelon, not OJ). I don't like exercising on a full stomach either, but since I'm fairly new to raw (3+ months) I'm finding that I do not yet have the capability to store enough so that I can exercise on empty. Hopefully someday I will get there.
My vague guess is that 16 oz of OJ isn't enough. When I had 1/4 watermelon and then worked out - same symptoms as you. When I had 1/2 watermelon or 6-9 bananas, then no problems, but I still ate again afterwards for quick recovery. HTH. Actually, I'm about to head to the gym after a big banana breakfast!

Date: May 05, 2007 05:05PM i cant eat citrus's stuff before working out either ...bananas work great for me, i find i need this carb boost before working out, about 30 minutes before ... then lotsa greens for protein and calcium to start muscle repair after same withen 30 minutes ...Jodi, the banana eating buddhist  Re: What's good to eat before excercise?

Date: May 05, 2007 06:40PM bananas are great...i can have three and be good for a couple hour workout.
before running i like orange juice though, or melon...i run about a half hour after eating, so maybe thats why it works for me. Re: What's good to eat before excercise?

Date: May 05, 2007 07:42PM If your still in your cleansing/detox period it doesn't matter what you eat before exercise you will still feel it or get symptom of low blood sugar because your body is busy at work, even if you don't realise it.
I don't have anything before exercise and I do great! I've also done 3 ultra marathons on 16oz of OJ each time. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/05/2007 07:44PM by The Fruitarian One. Re: What's good to eat before excercise?

Date: May 05, 2007 07:42PM I found the same thing.
A little nut butter on the banana or a few nuts gives me more stamina. Also watch out for dehydration - that gets me more than the blood sugar. Re: What's good to eat before excercise?

Date: May 05, 2007 08:25PM Before yoga, I definitely prefer an absolutely empty stomach.
I've usually eaten bananas or bananas and oranges before I run. Lately I've been adding a half avocado just for stamina on longer distances. I can pretty much eat anything raw before doing aerobic/weights, as long as I'm not too full of course. Re: What's good to eat before excercise?
