from Men's Health report:
British scientists found that people who downed a carbohydrate-rich, high-fiber breakfast before working out burned twice as much fat while running as they did after a similar meal without the roughage. Why? Eating low-fiber, refined carbohydrates significantly raises the amount of insulin in your body, which limits your ability to use fat for fuel, says study author Emma Stevenson, Ph.D. Specifically, the study participants burned the most fat when they'd eaten about half a cup of muesli cereal with 1 1/2 cups of milk and 2/3 cup of plain low-fat yogurt [greek yogurt]; they burned the least when they'd had cornflakes with milk and white toast with jam. If you don't like muesli, eat any low-sugar [high protein], high-fiber cereal, such as All-Bran [Grape-Nuts].
