If you’ve been contemplating what you should eat before exercise in order to improve your total fat loss, here’s an idea... don’t eat anything! It may well sound strange to subject your body to exercise and training without properly fueling it first, but when you think about it, it’s a primal way of living that you might think as a way to trick your body into burning more calories.

The Most Significant Fear Is Not Having Energy To Finish The Exercise

One of many common questions on not eating before physical exercise is “If I don’t eat before doing exercise, won’t I feel tired and not put forth so much effort?”. Although this is a real concern, it genuinely only is applicable to workouts that extend beyond 60-90 minutes.

According to the study Pre-Exercise Carbohydrate And Fat Ingestion: Effects On Metabolism And Performance through the Journal of Sports Sciences, consuming more carbohydrates in the previous days and/or 3-4 hours before exercising can supply adequate energy to hold a substantial amount of endurance which could last beyond 90 minutes.

Consider Some Of The Benefits Of Fasted Exercise

A study was done in 2010, Training In The Fasted State Improves Glucose Tolerance During Fat-Rich Diet, to see the beneficial and detrimental aspects of fasted exercise.

For this study, 3 groups were created. The “CHO group” or carbohydrate group consumed food approximately 1 hour 30 minutes before their workout, the “F group” or fasted group ate the same meal following the training session, and the control group ate the meal, but didn’t exercise. The meal was comprised of 50% fat, 40% carbs, and 10% protein additionally, the calories were hypercaloric meaning that each participant was eating slightly more than what their body would use to keep up a stable weight.

For the CHO and F groups, they trained 4x a week with 2 workouts lasting one hour and the others lasting 90 minutes. The workouts involved a series of cycling and running.

Some important  takeaway components of the investigation was that glucose tolerence and insulin sensitivity increased favorably for fasted participants instead of participants who consumed a pre-workout meal. Glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4) is a crucial transport for glucose to the muscle cells and this increased by 28% for the F group and just 2-3% for the CHO group. So, less glucose was left to become turned into fat for the fasted group.

Even though the CHO group could train a little longer due to the carbs providing sustenance, one of the main finds from the study was the volume of weight that each group gained being on a hypercaloric diet over the 6-week period. The F group gained 0.7 kg while the CHO group gained double the amount at 1.4 kg doing the same degree of exercise and eating the exact same food... just at a different time. This might set off some bells for anyone attempting a ballerina diet.

Don’t Be Worried About What You Should Eat Before Working Out

Hopefully this straightens out any concerns you may have had on the subject of pre workout food. While a high-carb meal seems to be a good thing to eat before physical exercise, it would appear that this method is better-suited for a competitive physical event. Regardless if it appears difficult at first, there are a variety of powerful fasting strategies which you can use to combat hunger cravings and assure that you’re burning excess fat rather than food calories within your workouts.
