Re: [fast5] Re: Exercise And Fasting

I notice that you all work out during your fasting time not during your eating window.  My schedule is a bit rough so I end up on Tues & Thur nights (when I work out with my trainer) having to work out during my eating window. My normal window is 6:30pm to 11:30pm, but on Tues & Thur I don't get to have my meal until 10:30pm, which leaves me only really 1 hour. My workout is from 8pm to 9pm, but I can't eat at 6:30 because I have to take care of the dog, change clothes, and get to the gym to stretch out before I meet with my trainer. So eating ends up when I get back to the house.

I try to cook on Mon and Wed enough for 2 days, that way at least all I have to do is warm the dinner on Tues & Thurs, but it is still so much later to be eating than I like for me. I am usually not even hungry when I get home from the gym too, but going 24 hours without eating really isn't a good idea twice a week?? or is it????

Any ideas? This is my biggest stumbling point right now. Thanks so much

 

Sincerely
Jennifer Lupo, D.M.

Great blog post! The last time I worked out with a trainer, I actually got sick in the bathroom after my "torture" session LOL!

I worked out yesterday while fasting and it wasn't a big deal at all. I felt like I was slightly more hungry during my window than I usually am but that could have been psychological as well. I'm just entering the third week and am still struggling with portions and limbic hunger.

Anyhow, I got through my workout just fine. Didn't feel dizzy or lightheaded or any more tired than I usually am after.

Hopefully someday people will get out of the stigma that we must have contant food to "fuel" our bodies!
