Hello everyone,
Just trying to get back on track here.... I have had some success with IF. Question to those who do IF and workout in the morning:
My fasting window is from 2pm until the following morning (~7am). Due to my tight schedule, my workouts (both strenght and cardio) take place in the early morning hours (5am-6:30am) in a fasted state. The only thing I take prior and during my workouts is BCAA.
Of those of you who do the IF regiment and work out in a fasted state.... how do you deal with the low energy levels? The cardio days are a breeze, but the lifting days are a different ball of wax.... I am finding out that taking BCAAs before and during the workout helps with my stamina and overall ability to lift heavier. Any other suggestions? supplements? nutrition you consume? - though I have a problem consuming solids upon rising up at 4:30am, so I'm not sure if eating anything will be doable for me.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
|

I usually train on empty. I do this because I find I have more energy as opposed to training fed.
Perhaps training fasted isn't optimal for you.
As stated above, there is no advantage to fasted training or IF as opposed to fed training or a more conventional eating protocol. The only advantages are preferential to the individual. Optimized training, appetite, convenience of ones personal schedule; these things all differ from person to person.
If it doesn't work for you, don't do it."There is no reason to be alive if you can't do deadlift"

Waiting 7 hours to consume protein after your workout = not a good idea.
