Great information. Thank you. I always prefer running on an empty stomach as any food I eat just seems to sit there for a while and make me feel heavy.
I can tell that you have done quite a bit of research, thank you for this video!!! Made me think of a lot more questions…
I ran 22 miles today on a VERY empty stomach and I didn’t like it very much at all. I didn’t even eat dinner. I know I went over board with the mileage but you live and learn
This video is all wrong. First of all your body never runs out of energy until you die. If you run out of energy your brain and heart shut down and you die. Ironically people that starve to death usually die because their brain is dissolving your organs to keep the energy supply flowing. During starvation people usually die from organ failure. The diaphragm is usually the first target and when its been broken down too much, you can no longer breath and you literally asphyxiate all the while, your brain still has energy until the very end. Secondly, your muscles store about 500-1000 calories of easily digestible carbs at all times and your liver stores another 2000. Even on an empty stomach youd have to exercise for about 2500 calories worth before stored fat is utilized, which is alot more exercise than you might think. Sprinting at your top speed with no rest for 60 mins burns about 1200-1500 calories and thats a pretty fucking intense workout. Ive never seen one person at the gym come close to that. Thirdly, you have fat tissue on your body that can easily be converted to usable energy on demand. One pound of fat is about 3500 calories. If youre a 200 pound man with 10% body fat do the math. You have a whopping 70,000 calories sitting on your body ready to be broken down during your workout. To put things into perspective, in his prime michael phelps was about 200 pounds with about 10% body fat and he was shredded and built like a human tank. The average american is much higher than 10% body fat. Muscle protein breakdown starts really having a noticeable effect after you burn through all those calories. So calculate your body fat percentage, figure out how many calories are sitting in fat reserves, add 2500 and thats how many calories you’d have to burn through before you really start running out of energy. And even then, your body has more calories in your muscles it has to burn through. After all that, you start dying. If you calculate how many calories you burn in a day with how many reserve calories you can figure out how many days you can last without eating a single calorie. And guess what? As fat and sedentary as America is, most people can go an entire year without eating a single calorie before they start really running into trouble, assuming youre still getting water and electrolytes, neither of which has any calories. So the idea that working out on an empty stomach or in a fasted state means you run out of energy is absurd. Think of how weak our caveman ancestors would have been if they couldnt run away or towards things after not eating for a day? We never would have survived in the wilderness. The genes that adapted our ancestors to a world filled with food scarcity exists in you now. It just feels like you run out of energy working out fasted because your brain is so addicted to three square meals a day. But with a little conditioning and those anti starvation genes will activate and youll survive for awhile.
I just eat a banana 30 mins before going for run in the morning it gives me just enough energy it works for me, after I finish I take a protein shake.
I am trying for 1600 meters in 5 minutes.
I mostly run empty stomach in the morning. So should eat carbs like few black grams before run?
Hi Lee, as this is the month of Ramdan, I’ve been pretty much extremely limited in lifting because I cannot get my proper protein in…I know this leads to losing gains but how long do you think it will take to recover?
I like your humble approach because no one has all the answers. You ask 20 people and you will get 20 different answers. Drs don’t know it all. That’s why it’s called a practice. They change their mind every year as to what you should be doing physically, eating, and how to lose weight lol. Great video!
No background music please. Thank you sir. I enjoy your clarity of thought.
Breakfast, to me, is essential. Why on earth should we omit breakfast before running if we do eat it on a daily basis WITH NO running?
The best treatment I ever found is on McMillan’s website. He explains specific situation where eating breakfast is mandatory (i.e. intervals/repeats, pace stepping-up long runs, etc.), and other ones i.e. steady long runs where it could be omitted.
Sugar is also far from being the best choice as a nutrient in advanced marathoning. Cereal crackers or so, 1 to 1,5 hrs before training, will work best (IMHO). As a ruler of thumb, I used to eat 1 or two bananas when 21 km distance is overcome, prior to continuing my way. Thanks!
Is it true that eating breakfast before running triggers appendicites?
Wow such a complicated topic and essentially the best answer is just do what feels best. The body is funny like that.
Great subject. Thanks for the info. I always run on empty first thing in the morning and often feel sluggish and my pace is around 6min/kms. I will experiment with maybe eating some fruit before I head out and see if that improves both my energy and performance. Btw Mikkel, do you drink coffee??
First off I don’t like the music in the background lol. I have ran over 40 marathons with ten Bostons in a row and I have found that for me eating prior to running is the way to go. I feel that I need the carbs to help me run my fastest. For a marathon I eat, then take 4 gels, one every 40 minutes or so and about 20oz of sports drink per hour during the race. Marathon fueling is different for everyone, you really need the experience of racing to find what works for you.
This is a great discussion. I run 4 days a week, anywhere between 3-10 miles per run. I intermittent fast on most days and typically run fasted for all my runs with the exception of anything over 10. On race (1/2 marathons and marathons) days I always eat and wonder if my fasted training is helping or hurting me on race day. I typically don’t bonk during the week and I do not steer away from complex carbs:). But admittedly, I do love nut butters and avocados: ). Thanks for bringing up the topic, I look forward to learning more. I am going to try your suggestion of bringing some gels on my longer runs to eat after an hour or so 😉
I ran 22 miles today on an empty stomach and I won’t be doing that again. I did lose 5lbs but I know I went over board with the mileage.
Run 4-5 miles each day fastedfollow 16-8 intermittent fasting routine. Have been shedding pounds regularlylost -15 lbs in 2 months
I’m not a breakfast person normally, so fasted run/walk is my preference.
Always run on empty. It feels great. Any other way just feels sluggish
I love my fasted runs, wouldn’t be without them! It’s made a massive difference to my race times when I do have fuel in the tank ��
Long run wise I have to have something in my stomach. I feel like toward the last 1/3 of my run I can tell that I haven’t eaten and I get nauseous. But maintenance runs I definitely can go without. Thanks for the information!
I learned to run fasted during my first TLAM training cycle, took about 3 months to get there, but it is a game changer! 15 months now. So freeing to be able to get up to 3 hours running in on an empty stomach and not have a change in energy levels during that time.
I have been doing my weekend runs on an empty stomach because I do them so early, but I’m only up to 3.5-4 miles so
it’s fine. I’ve wondered if longer ones in the future will need food; good to know you don’t think it’s necessarily so. I suppose it’s experimenting. I ran my first race last Saturday and it was a couple hours later than I normally would run, but it was still just fine not eating or drinking coffee, although I want to experiment and see what coffee might do for my next 5K. I finished in 30:38, though, and was thrilled with that for my first so maybe if it’s not broke, don’t fix it!
now I am wondering that if to lose weight is it better to run in the morning or night?
I run fasted because I just don’t have time to let all the food digest, get in my run and make it to work on time and I don’t normally eat breakfast until three hours after I get up on non running days anyways. What has really helped me is to have a small post workout snack right after my run. It only is about 60 calories but it keeps me from feeling starved all day. I’m also working on becoming fat adapted so that my fat burning pathway becomes really efficient.
I guess I am a fasted runner! I have had a bagel and peanut butter…or some sort of bread item….but only a couple times and always before half marathons. I like running fasted, for the most part, as I feel it is less dangerous in the bathroom/upset stomach department. I can eat my energy gummies during if I’m feeling “low”, then eat all the foods after ;). Haha, I’m hungry, too!
Obviously I didn’t hear anything you said as I was far too busy admiring the remarkably well organised shelves behind you.
On the off chance you were talking about running/fasting I find nutrition and running a very difficult nut to crack.
I have often had a morning run without previous nourishment. It was ok. May go back to having a couple of gentle runs without food every week.
I wouldn’t want to race run without having something pre run!
I have just been able to rejoin the gym! Partially because of the 2 small group sessions per week these are not quite HIIT but they certainly push me (sweat, raised �� rate) which I know I need to keep my (pretty good) weight steady, perhaps even lose a little more fat and increase my general fitness. No easy solutions.
By the by this evening I have been planning (and booking) my runs as I build up to 1 of my goals for next year which is to run a �� miles in 24 hours….if I can….. if I get the nutrition correct!
I typically have a stroopwaffel before my runs. I have tried fasted runs but didn’t like it.
I have done it. I wake up very hungry in the mornings. So the first couple of miles I am in a VERY bad mood lol. But I’ve done it and surprisingly I have run faster when I have run fasted
What kind of cardio exercise to do if wanna lose fat?? Please give some tips… Iv’e been training about 3 weeks. But nothing changing. Really need some advise.
I’m usually up at 5am and out the door before 6am, so I pretty much always run fasted. This can be challenging when you’ve got a race and are awake hours before you start running. In those cases, I may have a small thing of oatmeal before hand, but I usually struggle to get it down because of nerves and it being so early. So fasted it usually is. I also have stomach issues when running after eating right away. But lesson learned last week, don’t take cold meds and run fasted. Yeah, never doing that again.
This guy was not in a state of ketosis, which takes a few days of fasting to occur. Exercising in ketosis has a different outcome.
I run up to 8 miles fasted, anything longer than that I eat something.
At first I felt lack of energy when I went for a run on a empty stomach, but after some time I got used to it, my body adapted and now I prefer running in a fasted state. The more important factor is hydration.
Stop lying you fucking bitch. Why body will break down muscles when fat storage in there
I usually like your videos but this is complete rubbish. Your body adapts and burns fats especially the more you do this. People On keto are walking around alive and well. Their body dosnt eat away at all the muscle Tissue once glycogen is tapped out.
Fasted cardio is for girls cus it burns muscles as well and make you thin not slim.
In boot camp there were mornings we ate before we did PT, then there were days we did PT first then ate. Either way I was a worn out piece of shit recruit, but I guess I can’t judge it because that’s the point of boot camp, to break you down.
In civilian world, I tried it both ways, I lose more if I workout before I eat than after, but watch what I eat the rest of the day as well
Well, if I just did begun jogging, I would believe this video, but given my personal experience, I did performed better when my stomach is empty. The most important thing is to have enough fat….
big bob tried the paleo diet tried for two weeks and has given up after seeing 2 lb lost but keto kevin said to try the keto diet he gave it a try and lost 5 lb but big bob gave up because he needs bread
I don’t like cardio but i love to train in a fasted state. And no,you don’t lose muscle that fast. Especially if you overweight. Just stop doing only cardio and lift some weights! You lose a lot of fat first and than,if you over train,maybe you can lose some muscle.
This video is false. Many people do fasted cardio and you dont burn muscle for energy that fast.
Big Bob probably could have kept going but was telling himself he could not. If your workouts dont make you want to stop then your not working hard enough.
Also, Longer is not always better. My HIIT workouts are 15 minutes and I burn more calories doing that then I do Running for 1 hour.
I never eat in the morning, because if I do I feel sick, tired and lazy. I eat my first meal about 3-5 hours after getting up and I have a lot of energy and feel very good that way.
I do fasting and training lost 23 kilo within my first month and 2 weeks. also i have gained muscle cuz off staying in ketosis + breaking my fast with mtc oil or rice crackers then adding inn carbs + protein with as small amount off fat as i can. doing 48 hour fasts. Feeling energized and great so seeing this is kinda weird:/ was 121 kilos. I will continiue since it works gr8 for me.
2yrs i run without eating….1 because im on a diet 2. i dont like heavy body while running…it was good for 9months 15months of the 2yrs no weightloss��
Would you not get different results if you’re in ketosis though? I’ve been on keto for a while and started doing intermittent fasting and started to only eat after I work out. Would it make sense that your body would convert fat into ketones, rather than muscle? I think that when your body is geared towards eating carbs, you would typically see it trying to eat away at muscle since it is easier to convert protein to glucose than fat, and in that case fasting would not be good for you, but there could very easily be different results if your body is in ketosis.
This is how i do fasted cardio
1 eat breakfeast
2 go to school or work
3 dont eat ANYTHING while doing this, but remember to stay hydrated
4 go run and after your run is over eat lots of food
5 see those results
fasted cardio worked best for me I already lost 20lbs in 4 weeks, well that is combined with interval weight training, high protein high fiber diet, and a caloric deficit, intermittent fasting
I am not agree with this video. Not bcoz you are tired you will stop. You need to push your self until your body adopt your training.
Sound advice, Lee. In an ocean of Bro/Pseudoscience, yours is an island of reason and sense.
What ive been doing during ramadan is a day on day off workout, so workout monday, take tuesday off, workout wednesday etc etc..
the timings ive been doing is approx 45mins before its time to eat, so if I can start eating at 9.10pm I start my workout at 8.20pm, from what ive experienced is that our bodies are designed to be pushed, and as long as you take in your fluids during the night you’re good to go.
From the food point of view, in london we have a 6 hour eating period at night, so I have 3 meals, all inc proteins, carbs, vegs.
This has worked for me for the past 3 years and hope it helps everyone else.
Id say his first option is best. Go for a walk on an empty stomach then get your meals in and train later. And i say go for a walk because if you do really demanding cardio work on an empty stomach youll start to burn muscle instead of fat because its a better source of fuel for the body.
Between this video and dr. Jason Fung and dr. Berg videos, I prefer the real doctors videos. You need to watch those doctors videos and let us know what you think.
Stop being a lazy bitch ass and go work out before you have breakfast. It works for the ones who are hard workers
Two fuels fat and carbs. You’ll work out better wirth carbs solely on the fact that it can be stored directly in the muscle.
Fat can be stored in the muscles as well but needs tk be broken down first.
Who the fuck wakes up hungry? I don’t get hungry until like 11am
I have been doing this for a long time but on coffee with a combination of intermediate fasting. With some good music and some friends you can go on. But yes, I do worry about the breakdown of muscles so whey protein is the best I can do combined with some orange juice.
Bob should have talked with Scotty before going out with Fiona…
As someone with experience…if I exercise and didnt eat enough before hand I will end up in the hospital
Big Bob knows fuck all’s. I lost 60 pounds in 5 months by changing my diet and fasted HIIT cardio for an hour 6 days a week.
There’s no evidence showing you burn more fat on an empty stomach. So long story short do what makes you feel most comfortable:)
All you need to lose weight is to burn more energy than youve eaten. Do any excercise without eating carbonhydrates your body should start taking energy from its reserve: fat
I lift on an empty stomach so I can use up my glycogen stores and then run after and my body has no choice but to use fat as fuel c: lost 20lbs in 2 months and would just eat good protein and carbs after my work out (.)
Fasted cardio gives you alot of energy and you need to workout in a certain heart rate window for it to work right. If you do it right it will work. If not your just wasting your time
There were a few times I tried waking up 0500hrs everyday to run. Couldn’t make it. So I stick to evening run after work. Its always so so so so so so difficult to wake up early to run.
