00:00:00.700 --> 00:00:03.344
Fasted cardio can change the fuel used during

00:00:03.364 --> 00:00:05.902
a workout. That is different from losing more

00:00:05.922 --> 00:00:07.594
body fat over weeks.

00:00:07.893 --> 00:00:10.644
A claim about fat burning needs to say

00:00:10.823 --> 00:00:13.441
which of those outcomes was actually measured.

00:00:14.189 --> 00:00:17.859
Acute research finds higher fat oxidation during fasted

00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:21.562
exercise. A small four-week trial in twenty women

00:00:21.582 --> 00:00:25.305
found similar body-composition changes with fasted and fed

00:00:25.325 --> 00:00:27.436
exercise during a calorie deficit.

00:00:27.709 --> 00:00:30.447
Those are different measurements with different limits.

00:00:31.175 --> 00:00:33.872
An easy walk and a hard interval session

00:00:33.892 --> 00:00:35.431
ask different things of you.

00:00:35.744 --> 00:00:38.202
Eating first does not cancel the benefits of

00:00:38.222 --> 00:00:42.211
exercise. Compare comfort and whether you can complete

00:00:42.231 --> 00:00:44.422
the session you actually intended to do.

00:00:45.188 --> 00:00:48.751
Try both routines on similar, manageable mornings.

00:00:49.064 --> 00:00:52.002
Keep the route and effort reasonably consistent.

00:00:52.315 --> 00:00:55.052
Notice energy, hunger and how the rest of

00:00:55.072 --> 00:00:57.663
the day goes, instead of judging the choice

00:00:57.683 --> 00:01:00.660
from one unusually good or bad workout.

00:01:01.433 --> 00:01:03.291
If you use medicines that can lower blood

00:01:03.311 --> 00:01:07.620
glucose or have specific meal instructions, discuss fasted

00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:09.245
exercise with your clinician.

00:01:09.545 --> 00:01:11.323
Stop when you feel unwell.

00:01:11.623 --> 00:01:14.600
Completing a fasted session is never a reason

00:01:14.620 --> 00:01:16.039
to ignore symptoms.

00:01:16.814 --> 00:01:19.592
Choose the breakfast routine that helps you repeat

00:01:19.612 --> 00:01:23.082
useful training. In Bali, starting earlier may help

00:01:23.102 --> 00:01:25.706
with heat, whether or not you eat first.

00:01:26.019 --> 00:01:28.104
Keep the whole week in view instead of

00:01:28.124 --> 00:01:29.955
chasing a fuel-use slogan.
