Re: Morning Workouts & First Mea

[Guest guest]

You'll never get a consensus on the workout/meal timing. That's always

been a raging debate. The bottom line is that the best time to workout

is whenever you're most likely to do it. The morning has benefits -

getting it out of the way, the kick in the metabolism. The evening has

benefits for some people, maybe it fits there schedule better or they

have more energy then. A lot of people would rather die than get up an

hour earlier. :-) They might have more success working out later in

the day. Do whatever you feel gives you the best chance of success.

The empty stomach thing is another raging debate. If this is your

first challenge, follow the book and keep it simple. You have plenty

of time to freak out about timing and cortisol and insulin spikes

later on. The only exception would be if the empty stomach thing makes

you feel horrible. Some people get shaky and weak from low blood

sugar. If that's the case, you need to eat beforehand.
