So, is it really scientific to exercise hungry?
Fasting aerobic exercise is very scientific
For fat reduction, fasting aerobic exercise is in line with scientific principles. When we exercise, we need to burn sugar and fat to provide power. When exercising on an empty stomach, if you don't take in extra sugar through diet, you can mobilize fat decomposition earlier, so as to achieve the purpose of fat reduction. Studies have shown that fasting aerobic can significantly bring a higher proportion of fat energy supply than non fasting aerobic.

Although fasting aerobic exercise is an effective fat reducing exercise in line with scientific principles, many people have encountered problems in the actual exercise process.
one
Poor performance
Exercise on an empty stomach will lead to movement deformation, decreased intensity and poor endurance, but it will reduce energy consumption and increase the risk of sports injury.
two
Increase calorie intake
The key to fat reduction is to create an energy gap (for example, exercise consumes 200kcal of energy, and dietary intake is reduced by 200kcal compared with normal, creating a 400kcal energy difference). Although fasting aerobic can burn more fat in a single exercise, it can bring a stronger sense of fatigue and hunger in the whole day or even longer, which often increases the intake of calories and plays the opposite role.
three
Cause hypoglycemia and other adverse reactions
It is especially common in the elderly during fasting exercise in the morning. Due to the low blood glucose content, fasting aerobic exercise is easy to cause hypoglycemic reaction, which can lead to coma in serious cases, and even irreversible damage to brain cells and myocardial cells.
Who is not suitable for fasting aerobic exercise

If healthy people feel unwell when doing fasting aerobic, they should also stop immediately. However, fasting aerobics is still a very effective way to reduce fat for many people.
