weight training

So those are all perfectly reasonable.

There may also be differences in your metabolic signaling and fuel utilization between fasted and fed training, although researchers are still working out how meaningful those differences are over the long term.

so review comparing fasted and fed exercise found evidence of different metabolic responses while also concluding the more research is needed to determine the significance of those adaptations

so basically do what feels best for you if you want to eat before you work out that's completely fine pay attention to how much you're eating if you workout without eating.

then you're going to prioritize getting enough protein for sure and that total nutrition across the day your body doesn't need to suddenly erase your workout because you hadn't eaten breakfast But if fasting causes you to consistently underperform, then you're probably solving a problem you don't really have at that point.

So the final verdict here, we're answering this question that we started with.

Does working out on an empty stomach cause more fat loss?

Not necessarily.

We're talking tweens and working out.

So, For many parents, the words strength training and tween immediately raise a red flag.

I mean, is lifting weights safe for a growing body and could it damage growth plates? Is a child who spends time in the gym becoming too focused on appearance or simply learning a healthy habit that could serve them for life? My guest for that conversation is Janita Kumalo, a wellness entrepreneur.

So social media is a very, very key and problematic issue when it comes to teens and fitness and health.

We're speaking of wellness, health and wellness right here on 702.

And we're talking about tweens and working out.

If you have a young tween who is obsessed with working out, I know many boys at 13, 14, they just, you know, they develop this interest.

If you are someone whose adrenals are flat, so if you are waking up and you are just walking through the day in a whole fog and you are slogged and you are feeling exhausted from your workouts...

Working out is like spending money that you don't have.

It's like trying to invest money on at the 10% return when you've got a credit card accruing 24% debt in the background.

That is not a smart move.

It has to be in a safe place to do that.

This is why, and you know this, I think this is the thing.

Sister, if you are out there, You are working out, you are watching your nutrition, and your body is not changing.

After two to three weeks of consistency, your body is in health debt and it is time to look deeper.
