4:50 What type of exercise to do
In this video, we’re going to talk about whether or not it’s a good idea to work out while fasting. People have this idea that they have to eat before they exercise to have enough energy.
The purpose of the exercise is to make you more fit, to increase the health of the system, to build more capacity, to have less stress, etc.
During a workout, you’re stressing your body, your body adapts to that stress, and then it improves various things. But, make sure you don’t overtrain because overtraining will inhibit your sleep, keep your inflammation up, and reduce your gains.
The four variables of exercise:
1. Type of exercise
2. Intensity of exercise
3. Duration of exercise
4. Recovery after exercise
Things that happen during recovery mode:
• Glycogen reserve replenishment
• New capillaries are grown
• New mitochondria
• Cell structure repair
• Restored enzymes
• Cleared lactic acid
• Increased growth hormone
• Increased glucagon
Disadvantages of eating before you workout or doing carbo-loading:
• You can decrease the amount of growth hormone you produce
• You can increase lactic acid
• You greatly diminish the ability to burn fat
• You can create insulin resistance
Benefits of exercise while fasting:
• A massive additional increase in growth hormone
• Amazing reparative actions
• You can enhance fat burning by 20-30%
• You can improve insulin resistance
What to do:
What type of exercise you should do depends on your recovery. If your recovery is poor, you could do low-intensity workouts like aerobic exercise or walk. You can build up to high-intensity interval training and compound resistance exercise.
In summary, yes, it may be very beneficial to exercise while fasting, especially for reparative actions.

Damn you Dr Berg!.. I've been watching your videos for 6 months now I have to buy an entirely new wardrobe because I lost 70 lbs
How you lost which rules you are flowing
I think Dr Berg should chip in for a few new shirts! Congrats
I've been watching for 6 months.. nothing happened

Bhawna Manghani I eat between 2-9 pm everyday and cut all sugar from my diet ( minus and ice cream cone every night or so) I do full body weight training 4 days a week (squats, press, deadlift, bench press)
I fasted for 5 days and during that did compound exercises with heavy weights. I was expecting to feel weak, but I was not. Human body is more resilient than you might think.
Our bodies are magical. And I say that without exaggeration.
Would you recommend doing cardio while prolong fasting?
@@cheyenneliu1346 i dont see why not. Im thinking from survival perspective. Imagine lion have not eaten for days. He is fasting as you are. If physical activity would be bad or make it harder to do while fasting, I think lions would have disappeared:)
Its the opposite. When we have empty stomach, we can have more energy, because it is not used for digestion. Also other processes are involved like growth hormon.
@@gbolt111 That lion example makes so much sense 😯
true!!
It’s difficult to believe that one great person cares so much about public health and provides great info for free. In times when it’s greatly needed! 🙏 you Dr. Eric Berg, I honestly don’t have enough words to praise and thank you for me and fellow humans. God bless you.

Thank you 🙏🏻
thank you
Thanks 😊
I laugh at the fact I used to eat bananas before my workout and I would quit early because I was too tired. Now on Keto and lifting on a empty stomach, I can easily spend two hours in the gym and increase my energy throughout the workout and continue fasting another 6 hours. It’s like a super power!
how old r u?
MatureAge Developer 27 but before keto I had the energy of a retired person lol
This answers my question cheers haha, was gonna ask how it feels after it,are you hungry?
@@GTF85 yes hungry but hungry for real healthy food when you break your fast
@@AdventureElliot 👍🏻
I always feel much better after exercising on fasting. It makes any hunger go away and even removes tiredness and aches. It's basically medicine to me.
Same I love the feeling!!!
@Boober I exercise one hour before I break my fast that way I can eat right after my workout is done
Endorphins

In the US Military, during boot camp, we would always work out and exercise pretty hard before feasting on a big well earned breakfast. Even though it was 5am in the morning, we would actually feel highly energized working out /or exercising first. Part of the reason why I was able to lose 45lbs (20 Kg) during those months. Dr Berg, you gained another subscriber 👍
I remember those breakfasts! Powdered eggs and bacon were surprisingly very good when you are hungry!
But now, since I work out in the afternoon, I will oftentimes skip breakfast because I am not hungry! I am currently working on getting my US Army physique, with the help of Dr. Berg. I should be there in about 2-3 months.
I remember those great mornings at Ft Benning Ga.

I'm a powerlifter who fasts until midday and I train usually 9-11 am. I've pulled 500lbs for reps in an empty stomach, you just make sure you eat enough when the time is right!
Hey. It's been two years. Hope you've added at least 100 lbs to your pull.

I am road cyclist and as a Muslim used to reduce my weekly rides in Ramadan almost 80%. We are in month of Ramadan right now and instead of decreasing my cycling activities I have increased the weekly trip count but reduced my total distance to an average of 22.00 miles per day. In Ramadan we fast and abstain from and food, liquid even water from dawn till sunset. What I have noticed is my recovery time has significantly reduced and I feel more energized during the day when I m in state of fasting.
Catholics used to do that for Lent. I think more people should follow that practice. Fasting is the best practice.
For Autophagy is important to use Water. You for Ramadan don't drink anything. That is not fasting same as Autophagy. Autophagy is lifestyle daily

I can only workout fasted! How the hell can you workout with food in your stomach, it makes it so much harder! Lions don't chase down another kill if they're already fed!
physical activity just after a meal is bad... fast, work out and THEN eat, rest and fast again...
Yes!! Exactly.
Eating and then exercising even makes me nauseous so Why eat u dey ment?
I don't think Dr. means fast as in skip breakfast & work out. He means fasting 3- 40 days & working out.
That is why you don't go to the gym directly after a meal. You eat, you relax for two hours ... and then you work out.
Lost 6kg en 1 months following vaguely 60% of his suggestion, favourite doctor out there, thanks from europe
What was your Routine? Which type of intermittent fasting?
6kg in one month? Be careful
I fast all day, wake up at 11am fast all day, when 5pm hit I go to the gym and workout from 5pm-8:30pm, lifting weights and playing basketball..then I take a shower and go to work at 9pm-5am and I eat at work, and do it all over again the next day, I lost 45lbs in 2 months and I’m maintaining it and getting more gains.!💯
I'm starting a 72 hour fast tomorrow (Friday) for the first time. I'm 75 years young and hope that I can still do my steep hill walk which I do everyday, without problem! Thanks doc for all your great tips.
start low then build up amigo...
fidel catsro thanks. Glad for tips. Do I need to take anything special for a short fast?
@@pammiedoyle30 i do dry fast 14hrs often...electrolytes, nutritional yeast b complex help...you do get a bit temperamental when fasting
Salt, if you feel light headed
I like how you say 75 years young
I think that's why people back in time were strong because they ate less and work more
now we eat way too much and work less, obese people everywhere.
That actually makes a HELL of a lot of sense!
Good call!
I have always been told not to exercise when fasting. However thanks to your video you have informed me that the best results can be obtained when you do a combination of a fast and workout. Thank you Dr. Berg for sharing your insight and knowledge in this area. I appreciate you!!!
I've worked out fasted in the morning's and stayed fasted till evening many times. And amazingly had energy all day.
And your body is skinny, right?
What your eating window? What hours do you eat?
What beverages were you consuming?

Been on 16/ 8 fast for years. Loads of energy when working out..also makes you feel happier on actual fast... good for dopamine receptors...well explained video.
EDITED: People were laughing and wondering when I said I did a fasting a month ago, and I started to lost weight step by step. ( 63.4 on May now 60.5 kg ). Still doing fasting and exercising too, my target is 52 kg, I'm 165cm. Who's with me ?!
DECEMBER UPDATED: After 6 months, I'm back. I am 63 kg now, but I don't look like 63 and slimmer than my 60.5!
I just done my 1 week of OMAD and also do some exercises. Feel healthier than ever. Going stronger and stronger. Sometimes I'm doing a fasting, skip breakfast because I don't feel to have one. I had a fatty liver back in Nov 2019 NOW I AM FREE! I'M HEALTHY.
You go girl!
All of my friends made fun of me too. I do 20:4 fast every day and once a month i fast for 72h. I also exercise and eat a lot so i don't lose mass. I am 172cm 74kg the same as when i started a year ago. Everybody noticed chages on me and now the same people that made fun of me are asking for advice about exercise and diet
I'm the same height and i have the same goal, i started OMAD this week with some exercices during the week
Omg I'm 160cm and my goal is 50kg and now I'm 66kg so wish me luck imma start today with my mother
I am ! Keep it up 😉
Working out deep into a fast takes my mind off the discomfort and the workout winds up amazing. I feel clear headed and mentally quick compared to workouts when not in a fast. Its amazing!
Thanks again my second A1C in a row that's 5.6 and a 5.5 yesterday. Everyone his methods work hear him out and he will extend your lives.
Are you following a keto diet or low carbs?
@@tones_2466 i follow a keto intermittent fasting life style. With daily exercise with fasted cardio
Listen, I’m no doctor here but what I’m about to say has and will continue to hold merit. If more and more people incorporated some sort of intermittent fasting into their lives, they WILL live much healthier and longer lives...all by just not eating, simply put. The science on the benefits of IF go so far beyond weight loss that it’s truly astonishing how revolutionary it can be.
I've been fasting for more than 2 decades every Ramadan. It's amazing how our bodies adapt to exercising while fasting over the years. At 32yo, I ran my biggest monthly mileage ever while fasting (more than 350km) and this Ramadan I'm already on the road to break that PB with 345km in 23 days, so another 7 days to go.
What would be your advice to someone who’s going to train for the first time ever during Ramadan? I’m scared I’m gonna pass out in my gym class 😂
Thank you Dr. Berg. I started listening to you after I got my heart scan done in early July. Since July 5th, I am down 32 lbs! Your videos keep me motivated and I really like how you teach the how and why of eating! Fasting has changed my perspective on my health, I feel great!!
I workout 5 times a week while fasting. I typically break my fast with a protein shake after I get home from the gym. It is mind bending how much better I feel after a fasted workout versus when I'd eat 3 meals a day. I've also seen much much more muscle development now versus when I would exercise and eat the typical 3 meals + snacks kind of diet. At 38 I have more muscle compared to when I was a 4 sport athlete in my teens!
I workout during my fasting mornings, three times a week and feel fantastic
So why I do I feel dizzy and out of breath if I did not eat before working out !🤔
mariam lbn may be it is about heart rate and you overwork, may be it is good idea to use heart rate zone to monitor your heart too, take care😊
@@MaRiAm936 What you mean with the word "far"? Are you also taking electrolytes, salt, minerals?
@@MaRiAm936 breath, you need to learn how to breath while working out
@@artmakesUfree sorry it is "eat" not "far".I am not in keto, I'm 167 cm and 64 kilos,and I do Pilates and training with weights (3 kilos each hand) and that s all ! I am not trying to lose weight,I just want to tone up my body.
And sorry for my English, it s my third language
Surprisingly it feels great and euphoric after an intense full body workout on a fasting day! I was on zero cals for 20hrs and finished the complete workout session for 1hr! This definitely feels great
What is your schedule like? I'm trying to figure out when and when not to eat
Been fasting for 18 hours now and about to do my HIIT exercise. Really love this Dr. Thank you for these videos.
I've learned so much from you Dr. I'm 30lbs down in 2.5 months and I've used your advice for the entirety.
Same here, I lost 50 lb in 3 months . but be careful where you get your advice from , not every Keto channel is safe like Dr Berg
@@markoantonio6720 J rods said they used Dr. Berg during the entirety. Doesn't sound like they are using any other keto channel.

Its scary lol
Assalamualaikum ♥️♥️ Happy Fasting!!
W K Where i live we fast for 16 hours! So i can say i do a mandatory intermittent fasting for 30 days in a year ☺️
I can't eat and workout. For one, I workout at 4/4:30am and two, I don't like the feeling of having something in my stomach while lifting or doing cardio/HIIT.
Agreed
Good for you.
If you are going to do cardio/HIIT, you need carbohydrate. It is essential for this type of exercise regime. Prior to training, you would need to eat a healthy simple carbohydrate snack that has a good source of potassium, sodium, and all your other electrolyte. This can be one or two bananas/apple an hour prior to working out. If you want to increase your intensity during working out, you can fill a water bottle up and add a pinch of sugar and salt and consume during your workout session.
@@datoneaznboy I don't believe you. Why does the body store energy then?
@@raymeester7883 There are two places the body store energy as glycogen: muscles and liver, but predominately in the muscles. That is because if something were to chase you back in the wild days, you will have the energy to run away. So when you are scared for you life, adrenaline/epinephrine/cortisol kicks in, and then you are able to break down glycogen to glucose.
Dr Berg, you are changing my life!
Cannot absorb too much of your content.... everything I'm learning from you is working!!!
I tried by myself training in the mornings and can confirm what de berg says. I was chocked to see how powerful I am on empty stomach. I listened to my intuition and my smart body told me to train on empty stomach.
This is so true! I developed so much muscles once I started working out fasted. This is so right !
Started fasting 2 days ago, reviewing thru Dr.B's vids for any tips on fasting combined with working out as I'm doing a prolonged water fast. So far so good I have tons of energy.. Thank you Dr Berg!
Great great content! Thank you so much Dr. Berg! Could you do a more in depth video on recovery after a workout? That would be AWESOME!😃
Thank you Dr, your teaching are the best I have heard from any Dr. Am sure if patients listen to you, 99.9% of all sicknesses will be prevented. I watched your video on fasting and decided to challenge myself to go 48 hours on only water, am few hours to completion, but I felt a bit weak in the morning, so I did some breathing in, and now I saw your video, am just going to do some energising exercise. Thank you. I love you Dr.
2019 I tried running during Ramadan for the first time (I drank water tho...) . The time I was fasting 23:1 during Ramadan is went for a run right before eating. It felt awesome. Before I was scared of collapsing and stuff like that because of lack of energy.
I tried hiit during my fasting window, i was reluctant first about the energy and the first time was hard but after that i feel that it is better to exercise before i eat anything, i feel lighter and can do all the movement very well.
Me too x
36 hours into my last fast and I felt like jogging, so I did no problem! So happy to see you talking about fasting more! The longer I practice keto I see that it’s more about not eat!!🌞💋💋
Super helpful, thank you Dr. Eric! I'm doing a video series on fasting soon, so this helps answer that question I was wondering about. Great video.
It's true I do 30 to 48 hour fasting and I'm losing a lot of fat but getting muscle in return. I feel amazing I look 22 but I'm 32. I workout like I did when I was a teenager.
Do you work out first and then eat your first meal? How many meals do you have during IF?
@@rs7458 he does 2 days fast bro..not intermittent
@@soze5159 so he doesn’t work out during that time?
Your probably not "getting" muscle in return, it's just that now you can see those muscles because you're losing the fat.
Dr. Eric Berg fasting and exercise really work for me, thank you so much sir!
Listening to this video while getting ready to exercise while fasted/fasting 🙌🏼 Fasting changed my life!!
How the heck did this just pop up in my UA-cam, I'm just about to do it fasting and working out I have this instinct that it is good and then I stumbled upon your video...Thanks man, you're a blessing to humanity
I've done 1 or two day fasts (water only) and I worked out like normal, which was yoga, cardio and weights. It didn't feel like I was suffering from hunger. But when you do 40-60 minutes of cardio on a water only fast, it destroys the places that fat is hard to burn, like the love handles and pects. Also, it will restart weight loss if you are in a plateau, but you have to go to the gym.
There's nothing closer to this channel when it comes to exercises and nutrition. The guy knows the deal!
Today on Thanksgiving I'll fast all day.
On dates that are associated with people consuming lots of foods, I'll go against the tide and fast.
Why? To oppose. To go against. To fight. You are not so much who you associate with, but who you oppose.
I'll go for a long walk. Then I'll study, then I'll clean, then I'll sleep. Then I'll be on my way to work tomorrow morning.
One of the things I'm thankful for today is having found Dr. Berg's channel on UA-cam. He's the one who made it all clear to us that something is wrong with the way most of us were eating and living.
Thanks Dr. Berg. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. 😀🦃
Nice!
That’s awesome!!
Great job! I do 8/16 and ate wayyy too much food toady and now I feel like poop! Back to normal tomorrow
Yep, we all deserve or should allow a cheat day now and then! Today was certainly mine also!
Udar Pavarota I like your philosophy which is similar to mine. I always research when people are against something and I hardly ever do the norm! It has served me well, until now!
What an amazingly structured and annotated video. I was able to jump back and forth as I needed. Super cool. I wish more content creators did that.
Thank You Doc!! You. Da. Man!!! This video was GREAT! Watched it again and again. Anyone that has tried it knows first hand that exercise while fasting is GREAT.... But your analysis and explanation SERIOUSLY helps my comprehension/ understanding, and therefore my confidence in what I am doing. In short: You. Da. Man!!!
Very educational video. Dr Berg is a great teacher when it comes to health and wellness. Keep up the great work Dr Berg.
Amen to that, I learned so much from Dr Berg over the past 5 years. one other thing I learned, not all Keto info is safe and not all Keto youtubers should be followed. I had very bad experiences with well known channels. Dr berg is on another level. God bless
and a bit of a merchant too ) - those bio-additive's prices are pretty steep. I still would prefer pharmacy grade bulk supplements for a fraction of cost. But it is capitalism after all, there is no one to blame. I am just saying. Also, he sounds as if he worked in a psychiatry - the way he talks has a very calming effect.) His bedside manner must have been very good back in a day.
Weirdly when I exercise in a fasted state, i get lethargic at the start but stronger as the workout progresses
Hairi bet it’s your body revving up and tapping into its fat stores
I feel the same way walking the first thing in the morning....sometimes I feel slow and slightly sore....then at around 10 or 15 minutes in I suddenly get a bounce in my step!no pain and my head feels clear and alert...I feel a rush of energy and happiness...it’s like I’m literally feeling my body switch from burning glycogen over to fat and ketones!
I feel the same way....
Workout? Or just cardio?!! Lol cardio is good with empty stomach. Dont say weight lifting with NO CARBS.
Same

Thank you Dr. Berg for all your videos, they are so informative.

Combining exercise with fasting give a huge growth hormone! Fasting at low pace! Dr. Eric
Yes!!! It absolutely works for me. I do walking, HIIT and some running. I fast 21 hours per day. Thanks Dr. Berg!
21 hours/day? Wow...
I do 20/4. It works wonders! It's all mental. My sleep has improved alot. Green tea, Acv, maca root is my go to pre- workout. I'm not even hungry after intense training. I literally have to force myself to eat at my window. When I eat it's high protein, healthy fats with potassium and minimal carbohydrates. 8AM to 12PM mostly. Sometimes 10-2 even 12-4. Dr. Berg is amazing!
@@darrellholmes2880 so am i understanding this right? If I’m exercising at 5:30/6am for about 1 hour every morning, I can continue to fast, drink water, but start eating around 1pm like my body is used to? I always thought I had to have a recovery meal within the hour of my workout and that’s always tough for me.
@@peaceluvnhappy I look at it like this. When you exercise your body is working at a high rate. That high rate stimulates certain functions in the body like an increase digestion and absorption rate. When this happens the body is pulling what it needs because of the increase stressors of the workout. What you eat during the window has to be broken down and stored for use the next workout day and for normal body functions. This concept helps me tap into stored energy reserves.
That doesn’t sound healthy..
I was eating an hour or two before workouts, and it gave me some energy to high hard and heavy, but it caused issues with timing. Now I just got the gym, usually fasted, and I still have plenty of energy. I can't go super heavy, but I can be very consistent and that is far better.
Omg yes yes yes! Thank you Doctor

Should I Workout While I am Fasting?
So the short answer is YES!!
I am doing Interment fasting. I have a cup of coffee with a table spoon of milk.
Sometimes I have a couple of mugs of tea .
I
I cycle 25 miles, then I use some light dumbbells ( 3kg each arm x 100 reps each exercise ) and then have my breakfast around 4pm. ( 2 egg and tomato toasted sandwich & 2 cups of tea with skimmed milk).
I then try finish my evening meal by 7 pm.....and then start again.
In 3 months I have lost 33lbs or 15 kg. I have cut out ALL sugars / sweeteners including fruit.
I have never been on a " diet "
Feeling 😆.😊
Ben Par thx for the answer
Ben Par thanks because I was getting slightly confused lol
The milk in your coffee is breaking your fast you need to drink it black
@@DrDBYE as long as its less than 50 calories it should not break the fast
Everything that has calories breaks a fast
I eat supper at 6:00pm, get up at 5:30am and run 6 miles at around a 7:20 per mile pace, then don't eat anything until around 12:30pm that afternoon, 18 hours after my last time eating.. I'm 49 years old and I do it Tuesday thru Friday with no problems whatsoever.
I do the home workout and IF while quarantine. I do exercise during my fasting. Hope it'll burn my fats 😂

Well the exercises are difficult, but you have to eat A LOT in the meal times ( in the 8 hours) BUT: healthy!
So, when you have cravings, just eat healthy snacks, like: a few nuts, fruits, an apple with
peanut butter ( but not that much of
peanut butter). You can see a lot of videos of healthy snacks on yt.
But you can also see many videos of sports!

I started intermittent fasting as was always In sport, due to lockdowns and a new home move from Oct to May I did Nothing active, and balloon out, since starting 2 weeks ago I'm back down 10lbs in two weeks. But the most amazing thing I never thought was the mental clarity from fasting, thanks for your videos doc, would love to see you do one on why when we stop being very active to completley sedentary why we balloon so fast, love to know the science of it 👍
Thanks for including the fact that it can even help with bodybuilders, as that was my prime concern whilst watching this video (one you helped to alleviate).
Will be exercising first thing in the morning, even before breakfast now.
I do functional training exercises while on my 23rd hr of fasting. I’ve never seen my body so full of energy & capacity to do the workout. If I had a meal prior im usually easily fatigued
I do fasted relatively low intensity cardio 3 times per week and love it. However as a CrossFit athlete, I’ve found 45-65 carbs, with sub 10 grams of protein and close to no fat about 1 hour ore workout is optimal for my performance. I’ve done many wods and lifts fasted too and they go ok but some simple carbs always give me a competitive advantage. Thanks for the content Dr. Berg.
Good to hear
Yeah this advice is primarily for vanity and not performance.
I guess it really depends on the the type of workout. I am 57 and have been an avid cyclist (mountain biking) since the late 80’s. Agree “carbo loading” is not necessary however for long distance endurance events I don’t know if it could be done without putting carbs in your body.
Berg’s advice is popular because it caters to those who exercise primarily for beauty instead of health or improved sports performance.
Go tell a Tour de France cyclist to race in a fasted state and see what happens. Lmao
@@neoneherefrom5836 dude carbs nearly killed me. This isn’t about vanity it IS about health
THANK YOU!!
So much helpful information that I needed. Thank you!
I love your short to the point videos they are a wealth of information.
Thomas Delauer and Dr Eric Berg are my go to UA-camrs for Fasting and Keto
Look up cole Robinson
I pushed myself to my limits this week, I eat once a day, workout twice a day and I have so much energy while working out and I don't know where it comes from, I do heavy lifting in the morning drink water through out the day, have dinner which is my first and last meal and do 30 minutes cardio and I'm done for the day, I'm happier, have unlimited energy and I feel like I'm 19 and I'm 27.
😮😮😮😮😮
The greatest doctor of all time on UA-cam
Dr. Eric Berg
Thanks you!
I’m on week two of fasted cardio and I love it!!! I sweat a lot!!!! But I get this crazy energy boost that I love. I was avoiding it because I thought I would die and now I’m regretting not doing it sooner
Dr said "gainz" 😂 my maan
Haha, I caught that too. Good stuff.
All kinnnnz
Let the gainz begin!
I’m the one who enjoy fasting workout even though most of my workouts are just low impact ones.
Wow thank you doc! Your videos are all very educational! This channel is a Gem indeed 💯
Amazing content!💛 Thanks so much for all the information... I'll be honest, I'm the first person to usually argue don't workout while fasting you'll burn out and all that...You just gave me a reason not to. Now that's it's Ramadan, it's the best to get up, get moving but also don't overwhelm yourself. Thanks again:)!!👌😊
I always workout for 1.5 hours towards the end of my 16 hour fasting window. Then eat. Feel great. 61, BMI is 21. Muscular build.
Can you do a video for the optimum training time for food and water fasting as well???
Would be highly appreciated 👍👍👍
Love you Dr.Berg... you have changed my life and my perspective about many things...
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Dr Berg!
in this fasting month, i gain more muscle than usual. thanks for sharing the analogy.
More hgh is produced when you fast.
I do workout before I break my fast. I'm glad I'm seeing this😃
I am an endurance cyclist with very low body fat. I do ride sometimes in a fasted state and practice intermittent fasting as well; however, prior to longer rides of 2 - 5 hours, with hills and at altitude, I have to eat carb rich gels and foods before and during the rides to maintain energy. Post ride nutrition is determined by what the next day's training entails.
It really depends on what kind of workout you do.
If you go for light weight + running + aerobics, then sure.
But you can't lift heavy or do 1RM type of training on an empty stomach.
Great video Dr. Berg. Thomas DeLauer also covered this topic recently. Between You, Thomas, Dr Ken D Berry and Dr Annette Bozworth (Dr Boz) I am not only getting all the great life saving information I need, I can cross reference the information from one source to another- That's fantastic.
When I exercise while fasting I notice a great increment in my stamina and performance.
Aisa kyun???
@@thetree7694 I think process of digestion is a burden on the body. When you have enough calories in stock and empty stomach then I think it helps.
So, you exercise on an empty stomach and have your first meal afterwards, correct?
@@rs7458 no i have breakfast only. I exercise in evening. 1 meal in 24 hours.
Wow. I’ve learned a lot from not only watching this video but from the comments section as well lots of good real life experience. Love it!!!!!
Thanks Dr. Berg for sharing such awesome knowledge
🙏🙏
you'll see a major difference in just weeks when you walk in a fasted state for at least an hr every day
I am going to try this. Walking for an hour seems doable.
@@flowersmile123 hey! any results you’ve seen? :)
@@zoeong9034 Honestly, I been lazy. I need to just force myself to get up, show up for myself and move/walk. So I still need to incorporate walking and prove to myself it's doable.
@@flowersmile123 you can do it! i walked 7km to 10km daily~ took me 2 hours to reach 10km and my weight on that day gone down 0.5kg(water weight, i know) after walking~ i started on 23rd Feb and i lost 1.2kg as of today.
Absolutely, I started fasting 3 months ago with 1 hr of walking/HIIT alternate, and I'm down by 20lbs
Im a muslim age 33 yrs i have been fasting one month of every year since i was prob around 10 yr old. Fasting is from sun rise till sunset. In fasting you dont sin or fast breaks which means ur body recovers powerfully and with no smoke or bad things in a month you really restart your body and mind in a powerful way. Training becomes nothing because you learn to control you stamina and energy amazingly
صحيح☺
Fasting effects only show after the 2nd or 3rd day. Eating daily, specially huge amounts actually negatively affects the body.
what does muslim have to do with processes of human body that all humans have? Im filled with Gods spirit and can testify that Jesus Christ is the way ,truth and the life. Is 58 simply states that your health should spring forth speedily doing fast. That you break every yoke to live a daily holy life
I think UA-cam read my mind. I was about to search this, but it’s as already on my feed. I just started doing intermittent fasting . Didn’t work out first few days to give myself time to adjust. Did weights this morning and it took all of me to finished, kept feeling dizzy. Almost had my cup of decaf- coffee and almond milk to be able to finish but managed to pull tru. I will wait keep trying for a few days to see if my body adjust to it. Needed this video👌🏼
All true. Typically during rest days from strength training, incorporating yoga or some kind of stretching definitely helps as well
So I am ultra distance cyclist
Month back I went on 7 day fast
I dint do any riding first couple of days
But on 3rd day went on a small ride 25km was really bored
But after getting my energy back on 5th day I started riding again. Did 70 km ride very easily
On 7th day did a 100km ride with 28kmph
Moral of the story you can do exercise. When you are doing fasting.
Also my 2nd meal is at 2pm and no food after that
Go for riding early morning 5:30
Don't eat on bike if distance is less than 60km.
If it's hardcore or longer eat on bike
Have my breakfast after ride
Really?
Thats insane, so you drove for at least 4 hours on a bike continously in a fasted state, so no food or water? respect tho.
Share my experience during I.F. I had a light headache when I run during fasting morning. But no problem when I run during my eatting window in the afternoon. 10 days in 16/8.
Legend ,so happy I subscribed to Dr Berg. So much truth and results.
I workout for 10-15 min., in the morning, twice a week, in Mondays and Thursdays, while fasting (dry fasting) from sunrise to sunset.
