Cardio First Thing in the Morning?

In a recent San Diego State University study, scientists found that that people who exercised after they ate maintained lower hunger levels 5 hours longer than those who exercised before a meal.

The researchers haven’t yet pinned down the mechanism, but speculate that exercise may lower the concentrations of a peptide-YY, a hormone that increases appetite. The study participants worked out 2 to 3 hours after they ate.

Most people do cardio first thing in the morning when trying to lose weight speculating that a lower insulin level in the body will facilitate better fat burning. But is that benefit being canceled by increased apetite?

Cardio first thing in the morning might be a good idea when trying to gain size, but it looks like there's better ways when dieting down. Personally, I have never noticed a difference in fat loss.
