Exercice, when?

Hi, I'm wondering if it makes a difference when I exercise during the day? I normally exercise after diner and I was losing weight almost every day and last week I started exercising before diner and I'm stuck at the same weight. Any suggestions!

Exercise whenever is convenient for you. You don't lose more weight exercising at certain times of the day. I personally don't work out close to when I need to go to bed because I'm too amped to fall asleep. If it's only been a week that the scale hasn't moved, don't worry too much. Weight loss isn't linear. Give it a couple more weeks.0

Exercise at whatever time you are available.
Eating at a deficit is for body weight loss.
Exercise is for fitness and good health.
If you burn enough calories with exercise, you can also eat some more food.
Good luck in your healthy journey0 -
The best time is whenever you'll do it. I only get about 6 hours of sleep as it is, so no way in hell am I getting up earlier. I workout after work in the evenings.0

Same here, normally after diner but lately I get on the treadmill while diner is cooking.0

Doesn't matter when, unless you have problems sleeping already. I had insomnia as a side effect of bipolar, so my doctor suggest getting my more intense workout done in the morning because the raised body temp would keep me up.
But if that isn't the issue, whenever is convenient for you. And weightloss isn't linear. Because you didn't lose this week has nothing to do with the time of your workout.0 -
Whenever you're motivated to do is the best time.0

Whenever you can get it in. Like many people, I do it earlier because unless I exhaust myself, I cannot sleep for a few hours after exercising. I try to get a walk and swim in first thing in the morning. Peps me up and is an easy habit to form and keep.
Whenever works for you is best.

Start a thread and no, that's normal daily activity.0 -
Not sure how accurate this is but could there be issues with lifting weights first thing?
My understanding is your spine becomes more hydrated at night and early morning there is greater risk of injury.
Probably not an issue if doing cardio/body weight exercises.0 -

I've been lifting heavy at 5 am for the past year with no issues. This is the first I'm hearing about spinal hydration. Do you have a source for this information ?
Just make sure to warm up properly and stretch and you should be good to go op.0 -

@syl20rochon based on your info it sounds like exercising after diner works best for weight loss in your case.
We know the hormone Insulin can best help convert carbs to fat and store them when blood sugar is >100 (USA). When you exercise AFTER dinner I expect you may have been burning glucose so dropping your blood sugar levels before bedtime giving your body a better chance to lose weight.
If possible you could try to exercise after dinner again and see the results.

Carbs don't become fat, excess calories do.0

It doesn't matter when you exercise. Only a few IF protocols call for exercising on an empty stomach before your 8 hour eating window for complicated biochemical reasons. It's all theory.

Please stop giving out advice!!
OP exercise whenever you want it.
To lose weight you need to be in a deficit.0 -

You DO realize that exercise is unnecessary to weight loss right?0 -
Exercise for health not for weightloss. Diet for weightloss. That is create a calorie deficit based on diet alone and only exercise if you feel like it and enjoy it. Don't get me wrong, exercise is great but people often lose motivation or don't feel like it and then their whole project falls apart becuase they get the guilts and which adds to the spiral.
So if you are doing it because you love it, fine. And exercise when it fits in with your day and energy levels.
if you have not lost anything over hte last week because or exercising before dinner, i'd suggest its your calories are too hight and not when you did your exercise.0 -

Nope. Just nope.0 -
ETA: Sorry, I should at least contribute something for the OP. The time of day you exercise shouldn't have the impact you are attributing to it. Keep doing what fits in your day. It's only been a week. Weight loss stalls for any number of reasons.0

Frequently, throughout the day is good.
I walk as part of my commute morning and evening.
I walk at lunch.
I climb 25 flights of stairs in 5 stair batches throughout the day.
If I don't have a mountain of homework in the evening, I walk or cycle or something in the evening.0 -

I did say I'm not sure how accurate it is. Just something I had heard. Unsure where originally.
Just googled spine hydration at night.
First results mentions giving you an hour before lifting stuff. So it isn't something I made up. But still not claiming it to be true or accurate.

Let me see if there is a better site. Something a bit more scientific or reputable.0 -

That's a big presumption that everyone has sex.

It's not a presumption about people having sex. It's commentary on the fact that it just falls into daily burn. I would argue no one is having sex that burns such a substantial number of calories that it needs to be logged.0 -
