Try to slowly but surely eat less for breakfast. Then once you get used to it do "fasted cardio". If you plan your transition period well you will have no problem doing sports without eating and you will get additional benefits like increased fat burning. Lifting weights shouldn’t be a problem as well. I personally only eat every other day one meal (48h fast) and go to the gym daily. So I can talk from experience that you shouldn’t have a problem. Plus it’s a great mental and willpower exercise. Depending on your shape and capabilities your transition period (eating less and less for breakfast) should be between 2-3 months. However, if you do not want to do such a thing try splitting your breakfast. Before the gym eat a small fruit, or some small protein bar (although both will spike insulin) and coffee/tea/water after the gym eat your second, slightly larger breakfast. In a nutshell eat less before the gym and more after.
Why not pack a smoothie to eat after you exercise? If you really need to eat beforehand, a banana is an easily digestible option that shouldn’t make you feel nauseous.
I always exercise while doing other things like choosing my outfit or get ready, and also i just drink a glass of water so it’s easier to not get nauseous
I actually do my exercising before I eat to avoid that problem. I feel like I’m more inclined to eat a healthy breakfast if I have already done a workout. Don’t want to waste the calories I just burned on junk! Hope that helps.
Honestly I count morning as anytime between when i wake up at 630 am to when my son goes down for his nap around 1130. I do my 30 min exercise during his nap. But when I would work out in the morning, before I got pregnant, I wouldn’t eat before hand. Of course I was working out at 4 am and I would have a protien shake afterwards.
I don’t – I get up and have some water and a yogurt drink (small) and sometimes a single dried date or prune (I prefer not to exercise on a completely empty tummy!) and then exercise and have breakfast afterwards. This works well for me.
I find that getting up drink water and excersise, before doing anything else works best for me, water helps me with the craving and starts hidrating the body.
honestly, I do a short 5 minute workout every morning to get wake my body up. after I have my morning water, I like to then go to the washroom to brush my teeth (which wakes me up a little more) and then I go back to my room where I have two 20lbs dumbells hiding underneath my bed. I put on some music and do a quick workout! I’m not a morning workout person so i’ll go to the gym either in the afternoon or evening. But every morning I do a 5min routine to feed my body with endorphins. 🥰
Usually I have breakfast after exercise, because I think my full stomach will feel bad after exercise. And I do morning routine, because I will have to check it in this app)
Drink plenty of watertas soon as you wake up to lighten up your day and pop in some nuts to your mouth to kickstart the powerhouse.
