HI! I love to get exercise outdoors but humidity kills me and causes IBS problems. So I would also look at what time of day has the most comfortable weather if that affects you. I wouldn't exercise strenuously right after a meal but a brisk walk would work. Otherwise I would eat lightly before exercising. You want to have something in your tummy so you don't get lightheaded. For example today I ate some pita bread with hummus before biking 10 miles. We stopped halfway and I ate a small piece of banana bread and of course drank water the whole time.Then I took a swim. This seemed to work rather than a really long bike ride, which I'll save for when the weather is cooler (it's 83 and rather humid here today)Good luck! Linda
