Episode notes
Fasted Workouts Trigger A Metabolic Symphony
- Fasted workouts produce multiple metabolic effects: insulin drops, catecholamine rise, AMPK activation, mitochondrial biogenesis, and autophagy.
- These combined changes boost fat loss and cellular cleanup beyond just caloric burn.
Do Morning Fasted Workouts
- Do your fasted workouts early morning before your first meal to maximize fat oxidation.
- Start with 30–60 minute walks for beginners and women, and do 20–30 minutes of strength or HIIT for advanced men.
Pre-Workout Drinks That Don't Break Fast
- Drink black coffee or organic green tea and water with electrolytes before fasted workouts to boost fat oxidation.
- Add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in water for blood sugar support; avoid carbs, sugar, and protein pre-workout.
