It's time to take charge of your life.<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Start today<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Felix C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I am not trying to. If you exercise hungry you will get more fat burned. Plus your mind power becomes even more powerful. And thats what we want right? Power.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ma Lia Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes I like to have something small and light if I can find it. A piece of fruit is my go-to pre workout snack. I like to have it 20 min beforehand.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Christine U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes, I always have some fruit or coconut water 45 mins before work out. If I am very low on energy then couple of chunks of chocolate is my go to pre workout. It&#39;s best to eat something at least 30-45 mins before workout, but don&#39;t work out empty stomach unless it&#39;s yoga. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Felix A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes! If you\u2019re hungry and you\u2019re energy levels are down, a small snack won\u2019t hurt you. I would suggest a light, healthy snack that won\u2019t weigh you down but keeps your energy levels up!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Urbano S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes. I have experienced the negative effects of not doing that first hand, such as getting light headed or even starting to black out a little. It&#39;s also important to let yourself digest a little first.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Josephine O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I do have a snack before exercising to make sure that I have enough energy to succeed in whatever workout I choose to do!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tha S N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If I&#39;m feeling especially low on energy, then yes, I would take a light snack. Be sure to keep it light though. It&#39;s difficult to gain momentum exercising on a full stomach.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Irene P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Nope! I never thought about doing that. If my energy is low before a workout, I\u2019ll have preworkout. I try not to eat before working out because it makes me feel nauseous while excercising. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Faith J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends. I would say that I usually won\u2019t, because I eat pretty regularly so if I have a snack, I run the risk of being too full for rigorous exercise. Also, I\u2019m not really inclined to workout when my energy is low. If I haven\u2019t eaten well enough that day, or had enough water, or I\u2019m sick &#8211; these are all reasons, not excuses, to give my body rest. Don\u2019t eat for exercise, eat for your day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Pierre E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes.  Usually I exercise first thing with a mostly empty stomach, tho I always have water and sometimes a piece of fruit before I go out.  If I wait even till ten or after, I eat something a bit more filling &#8211; a protein smoothie, egg white bites, protein waffles. I can\u2019t get as intense with my runs if I go out to long after waking without food. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Na L Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">No, I prefer to drink some water or another beverage (but not too much) because I find that a full stomach makes me nauseous when I Exercise. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Craig Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes. Especially if I know it will be a hard work out. Usually it would be a banana, some nut butter, or a protein bar. Nothing too filling, as it would make me feel nauseous when exercising. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Catherine F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Sometimes. I usually don\u2019t like to eat before working out, and once I get going my energy levels usually increase. So it\u2019s more if I\u2019m really hungry as opposed to low everything levels. But I try to avoid eating before. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Erika O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I generally like exercising before getting any food in my system. I feel lighter and more concentrated. If you feel low in energy perhaps some tea with a drop of honey or a morning coffee could help  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Roli Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Nope. I&#39;m on keto diet and I have fuel attached to my belly \ud83d\ude09<br \/>\nWhat is more I don&#39;t feel barbaric hunger, because I don&#39;t have carbohydrates drops. Try to read about keto diet and if you like it talk with your doctor. It&#39;s not for everyone but it works for me and some of my friends.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mel Nia N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Sometimes if I feel very low in energy, I drink some water, and eat a fruit. I feel like that builds up some energy to go forth with starting and completing the exercise <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Oceano Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">More than a snack I think I will go for something to drink, maybe with some fruit or sugar inside. I think it&#39;s gonna make me less<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Socorro Q. I exercise early so if my energy is low I use a prework mix in a water bottle.
