What Will Cause You to Lose More Fat -- Exercising Fasted or Non-Fasted?
Fasting Before Exercise Helps You Burn More Fat....
Tips for Fasting and Exercising Safely: A Post-Workout Recovery Meal is Crucial
Exercise and fasting help counteract all the main determinants of muscle aging, while boosting fat-burning compared to working out after eating. However, fasting incorrectly can cause more harm than good. To start, you need to make sure that you're not fasting to an unhealthy extreme. In other words, fasting does not mean that you starve yourself for days. Instead, intermittent fasting involves either fasting completely or simply minimizing your food intake during the day to small servings of light, low-glycemic, mostly raw foods such as fruits, vegetables, whey protein or lightly poached eggs every 4-6 hours.
You then do your workout while fasting (30 minutes after your latest snack) followed by a very important recovery meal (whey protein) and then you eat your main meal at night. It's very important that you eat an appropriate recovery meal after your workout session, as this will prevent brain and muscle damage from occurring. Ori explains:
"When you implement intermittent fasting you put your body into a strong catabolic state. Your body is literally eating up and destroying damaged and injured brain and muscle cells. You rapidly accelerate this process when you exercise in this state. It's this very powerful synergy that will allow you to effectively rejuvenate your muscle and brain. This is the radical new approach that very few know about and even fewer have implemented.
The MAJOR danger though is that you will need to rescue your muscle tissue out of this catabolic state and supply it with the proper nutrients to stimulate repair and rejuvenation. If you fail to supply these nutrients at the proper time you will hurt yourself.
Your post exercise recovery meal is critically important. It's needed to stop the catabolic process in your muscle and shift the recycling process towards repair and growth. If you fail to feed your muscle at the right time after exercise, you won't just miss this window of opportunity to restore and build your muscle, you'll actually let the catabolic process go too far and potentially waste and damage your muscle."
So it's crucial that you eat within 30 minutes after your workout, and your meal must include fast-assimilating protein. Whey protein is an ideal option here. Then, as mentioned, you will eat your main meal of the day at night, so your "fasting" time consists only of the daytime hours, either fasting completely or eating light, mostly raw foods every 4-6 hours.
Additionally, if you don't have enough energy or don't feel good then it is likely time to shift your experiment and reduce the hours of fasting. This process should make you feel better and if it doesn't then it is best to reevaluate.
