Reply from Kristina, Age 17 - 05/03/06 - IP#: 70.97.14.xxx I exercise immediately after i eat sometimes too...i read somewhere that it really isn't good for you because instead of blood flowing to your stomach to work the muscles and filter out the good and bad carbs and fats, the blood goes to the muscles that you are working and so instead of burning the calories you just ate you absorb more than you normally should...u would think that u would burn the food in your stomach but i guess not....i guess its better to exercise before you eat because your metabolism is really high while you exercise and also afterwards, so if you exercise and then eat, ur body will still be burning calories while you are eating!!! i'm a bit of a health freak, if you want to know more my e-mail is: miss_blondy_2007@hotmail.com
