 Next question is from Lance Zach for people working out in the mornings Is it better to eat breakfast before or after the workout? This is a really popular question Yeah, you know, I don't I work out every morning. I worked out this morning at you got you were got fasted though, right? Yeah 545 I was in the garage lifting weight So I work out between 545 or 630 is when I'll start my morning workout And I never eat before because if I did I'd have to wake up, you know I have to eat breakfast at 4 a.m. In order to work out at 545 and feel okay Cuz I don't like to eat to work out right after I eat, but here's the thing a lot of people forget If you work out first thing in the morning, it's not like you've had no food ever the food You had the day before you're still storing some of the energy. Yeah, especially if you had a big dinner Yeah, if I have a good dinner, I'm gonna be okay in the morning But there's a large. There's a really really big variance here between individuals You know, I've worked with some clients that if they don't eat a couple hours before they work out They feel terrible. So they had no matter what time they work out They have to have some food in their stomach, you know an hour and a half to two hours before they work out me personally I'm okay. I'm perfectly fine working. I'll work out fasted completely I'll not eat at all and work out at noon and be totally fine So it really does depend what makes you feel the best the only challenge with having to eat breakfast before you work out Sometimes it means that you would end up compromising your sleep because if you like me like for example If I work out at 6 then that means I wake up at 5 to get worried But if I want to eat breakfast that means I want to work out, you know, wake up at 4 30 or 4 15 I don't think that's a good trade. I think sleep is more important than you know Having the food before you work out Well, the truth is you're not getting any value from that breakfast unless it is a minimum of an hour before that We're right. So it doesn't matter like so why why have breakfast unless you can get it an hour more than an hour before It takes that long it takes that long for your body to digest it and then utilize it So it's not even if you ate, you know, 30 minutes before a workout. You're not utilizing that fuel yet That's still getting converted over into glucose. Your body is not using that for your fueling your workout So you're still running off of last night's fuel anyway So unless you're getting up and more than an hour to eat before you do your workout I would all almost always recommend it to somebody to eat afterwards Yeah, I wonder if it's more psychological than anything else like somebody who hasn't fasted before and just hasn't really understood like those Signals of like, you know, haven't had a navigate through that. They're just so used to have to having food before they do something It's like this conditioning is this programming that they've set their body up for where, you know I have to have food before I do anything rigorous But again, like there's variances and I'm sure there's people that don't do very well when they don't have food at a time But I'm just wonder I put that out there if you've never fasted before Maybe this is the type of person who should, you know, really introduce that well not only that it also matters like, okay To like what Sal was saying, right? So most people you're probably utilizing the fuel that you ate at dinner the night before but You know, if you do eat a very light dinner and you eat it at 6 o'clock or 7 o'clock There's a good chance that you've tapped into most of that so your your your fuel levels are lower So but then there's benefits of burning fat when you go to work out because of that So there's benefits for you not feeling but I could see like if you're somebody's just you don't have the energy You get lightheaded or you have if you're giving me that feedback as a client Then yeah, I'm gonna have you have probably have you do a liquid like I'll have you do a shake I would have you do because that your body will break that down digest that faster And so if you're giving me feedback as a client that man Adam I have to work out in the morning and I just your blood sugar drops, right? I'm yeah light headed or I just I can't get any energy to lift and maybe that's because you're eating a 400 calorie or a 300 calorie dinner at six or seven And so by the time five six clock rolls around you have tapped all that you have a glass of juice You know 30 minutes before that's what I used to do I had clients that I would train at 7 a.m. And they would you know So there was a couple of them that would say that like oh I get a little light headed and so I tell them Hey drink a glass of orange juice on the way here and that solved it right there It was really easy just you know an eight ounce glass of orange juice gave them what they needed to so that they weren't dizzy During the workout, but the huge individual variance here But I did I have found that the vast majority of people that I've worked with are perfectly fine All the challenges and difficulty that they find with the morning workout did not have to do with the fact that they Didn't need to have the fact that I had to do with the fact that it was an early morning workout Then they would eat everything moving. Yeah, it's like and then they'd eat and feel better But why because now you're working out an hour later So it's it's the morning part that usually causes the challenge
