Negative consequences of exercising before eating breakfast?

I'm not a big fan of having food in my stomach before running. On top of that, I figured exercising before eating allowed your body to burn fat while my body was in a low glucose state, although I do get tired a lot faster without the carbs. I'm wondering if there are any long term harmful effects of exercising before eating.

    As long as you don't over do it, everything should be fine. Nothing long term, anyhow. You may experience dizziness, blurred vision, or dry-heaving if you don't eat before hand though.

    I read somewhere that your body starts eating your muscle tissue 30 minutes after waking up. I don't know how true that is, but I know it's better to eat something very light and wait 15 minutes before your run
