Run and Lose Weight
The primary cause of you gaining weight when you start running is because you are not burning enough calories! When you run, your body is working intensively to move you forward which also causes your heart rate to rise and increase the amount of oxygen that your muscles need to function properly. This actives and releases the energy stored in your muscles and body fat to help you run longer or faster. But this energy can also be used to create excess body fat too.
While running, you should eat balanced meals if you are looking to lose weight because when you are running your body will burn more calories than usual in order to keep up with the increased demand of energy. My doing so, you will ensure that your body is getting the right amount of nutrients and not overloading your system. This will help keep your body in balance and prevent any unwanted weight gain or loss.
