Should I Workout While I am Fasting? - Dr. Berg Answers!

[@AdventureElliot]

I laugh at the fact I used to eat bananas before my workout and I would quit early because I was too tired. Now on Keto and lifting on a empty stomach, I can easily spend two hours in the gym and increase my energy throughout the workout and continue fasting another 6 hours. It’s like a super power!

@@cheyenneliu1346 i dont see why not. Im thinking from survival perspective. Imagine lion have not eaten for days. He is fasting as you are. If physical activity would be bad or make it harder to do while fasting, I think lions would have disappeared:) Its the opposite. When we have empty stomach, we can have more energy, because it is not used for digestion. Also other processes are involved like growth hormon.

I always thought I had to have a recovery meal within the hour of my workout and that’s always tough for me.

[@darrellholmes2880]

@@peaceluvnhappy I look at it like this. When you exercise your body is working at a high rate. That high rate stimulates certain functions in the body like an increase digestion and absorption rate. When this happens the body is pulling what it needs because of the increase stressors of the workout. What you eat during the window has to be broken down and stored for use the next workout day and for normal body functions. This concept helps me tap into stored energy reserves.

Prior to training, you would need to eat a healthy simple carbohydrate snack that has a good source of potassium, sodium, and all your other electrolyte. This can be one or two bananas/apple an hour prior to working out. If you want to increase your intensity during working out, you can fill a water bottle up and add a pinch of sugar and salt and consume during your workout session.

Should I Workout While I am Fasting? So the short answer is YES!! I am doing Interment fasting. I have a cup of coffee with a table spoon of milk. Sometimes I have a couple of mugs of tea . I I cycle 25 miles, then I use some light dumbbells ( 3kg each arm x 100 reps each exercise ) and then have my breakfast around 4pm. ( 2 egg and tomato toasted sandwich & 2 cups of tea with skimmed milk). I then try finish my evening meal by 7 pm.....and then start again. In 3 months I have lost 33lbs or 15 kg. I have cut out ALL sugars / sweeteners including fruit. I have never been on a " diet " Feeling 😆.😊

The way Dr.berg explained the way to exercise on Intermittent fasting that i view the best is the food eaten the day before say for instance,i ate one meal by 1pm that meal is then absorbed in the blood stream 12hrs after,so the way to exercise on Intermittent fasting is during the no eating window space of 6am-11am and choosing a specific hour first having a glass of water 30mins before starting exercise.

I am an endurance cyclist with very low body fat. I do ride sometimes in a fasted state and practice intermittent fasting as well; however, prior to longer rides of 2 - 5 hours, with hills and at altitude, I have to eat carb rich gels and foods before and during the rides to maintain energy. Post ride nutrition is determined by what the next day's training entails.

[@JMAMI03]

I think KZbin read my mind. I was about to search this, but it’s as already on my feed. I just started doing intermittent fasting . Didn’t work out first few days to give myself time to adjust. Did weights this morning and it took all of me to finished, kept feeling dizzy. Almost had my cup of decaf- coffee and almond milk to be able to finish but managed to pull tru. I will wait keep trying for a few days to see if my body adjust to it. Needed this video👌🏼

Hello, I just wanted to say thank you for all the amazing content. I'm definitely noticing a change in my life. I wondered if you had any advice in terms of a structural for first-time intermittent fasters, for instance a timeline of exercising, hydrating resting, fasting and eating. I'm just a little confused on exactly when I should eat in corelation to my exercising , as I am alittle overweight but im noticing just after one week that I'm not hungry, but concerned I'm supposed to be eating. LoL I have bad sleep apnea and inflames lymph nodes and was hoping to flush the toxins out and im alittle out of my depth. Any advice would be so amazing. Thank you so much again.

[@MJChannel-h9j]

That is a win. I was using carbs dirty keto, and I was taking walks up to 50 min over 4 hours and a cold shower to help with digestion and neurochemical stimulation for motivation and reduce stress. I can do these walks while in a fasted state, and that should improve things. More repair would mean better recovery from exercise, and I would be better rested.

[@yamaryanariaafg8052]

I worked out on and off at least for 10 years. I have been fasting for 3 weeks I have never felt this powerful and healthy and happy from within in my entire 10 years at the gym. I fast for 18- 19 hours. I walk and run for 2 hours 20000 steps or 10000 steps depending on the day. I have lost 10 kgs so far, this has been the best decisions I have made for a long time lol.

[@nandocarvajal712]

I remember years back experimenting doing weight training on a fasted state and getting so weak and dizzy to the point of puking. It happened once and I said never again. So I have always done the typical preworkout/post meal....until two weeks ago. I decided to do intermittent fasting and gave my body about a week to adjust before hitting the weights. I was really hesitant at first because of that past experience but lo and behold, i trained legs on the 15th fasted hour and had the best workout ever...and leg day for me is very demanding. I felt lots of energy and strength. I couldn't believe it. I'v been working out the same way 4 days a week and I can assure you I don't get dizzy or nauseous or feel weak. You just don't know until you actually try it. The next thing I will do is "ride the wave" after my workout to take advantage of the GH rise. And I will not have my post workout meal until about 4 hours later. Will keep you posted. :)

@@krystelmittnacht5331 Hi Krystel, your body will definitely adapt...you will see. You'll need to introduce working out in a fasted state in such a way that it won't shock your body. Try eating a carb rich meal the night before and that should give you enough glucose to get you through your routine. Something I did also was hitting the weights on the 10th fasted hour and progressing to the 15th hour over the course of a week... this way you give your body some time to adapt :) I hope you're able to make it work for you

What I lile about intermittent fastinf is that you start listening to you body again. It tells you everything that you need to know. I personally tried to work out on different times throughout the day, but I have the most energy around 7pm to 8pm. I usually eat my last meal around 6pm, wait like 1 to 2 hours and then I'm exercising. It's the best time for me and I feel great throughout and after the workout.

[@TheMercifulAndJust]

The best is to sprint 🏃‍♂️ 2 hours before your OMAD meal time, say it is at 7 to 8pm sprinting cardio would be 5 or 6 to 7pm. This is top notch 👌 ! The best is to eat, keto, clean!
