Question
I can't remember if I asked this or not... For BFL, I only have to do cardio on an empty stomach, right? Do I need to space the meals out any certain way for weight training or should I do that on an empty stomach as well?

Pam, I split your question off from my gym log and placed it in the BFL Forum - I think it's something others will definitely benefit from :)

The reasoning behind a.m. workouts are twofold.
If you do lift first thing in the morning I'd suggest having a half a cup of coffee first and popping a vitamin C tablet (250mg) then having your glutamine and protein shake immediately after your workout, along with more vit C, some E and your carbs to get cortisol under control and to switch from catabolic to anabolic. Lifting in the p.m. I'd advise having a light meal an hour before working out and again your post workout meal w/in 45 minutes. HTH Nat |
As far as I recall...
You should always work out on an empty stomach. If I remember correctly, the timing comes into play more AFTER the workout...
Cardio - don't eat for an hour Weights - Eat within 45 minutes I try to make my last "meal" at 3pm... I workout around 5:30 and either eat right when I get home after weights, or shower and change and THEN eat after cardio. Hope that helps! You go BFL Babe! :lol: |
Thanks Kate and Nat! That's a big help. You're the best! I think I'm getting it.
Kate, I also bought some EAS shakes this morning. I had to get some wires for a customer at Wal-Mart and took a side excursion to find the RTD shakes. That should help a lot. |
