A member asked:

I'm wondering if i exercise right after i eat will i still be burning calories/losing weight?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes exercise anytime: Exercise anytime burns/consumes calories. But it is easier to exercise more when your stomach is not full of food. So eat lightly if you have to eat, so that you can exercise more and remain active for longer than 30-45 minutes daily.

I eat lots of protein, slow burning carbs, and I STILL can't lose weight, even with a 6 day a week exercise routine. Do I have insulin resistance?
