We often consume more calories than we burn. And that\u2019s the reason why we gain weight. But when you are on intermittent fasting, everything is different!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have a time window in which you can eat. And most of the day, instead of eating, you just drink non-calorie beverages. As you can imagine there are moments when you\u2019re feeling really hungry…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when you are hungry, whether is OK to work out?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Definitely YES, here you\u2019ll understand why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Can You Exercise During Fasting?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our bodies use carbs to produce glucose. Glucose is saved as glycogen in the muscles and liver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glycogen is a form of energy.Our bodies are accustomed to using it as an energy source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using fat instead of carbs(glucose) transforms your body into a fat-burning machine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as soon as your body adapts to the new energy source, you\u2019ll feel ready for intensity workouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working out will help you to be and stay fit. Fasting will do the same. And if you decide to combine both of them, you will increase their positive effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But why and how?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re going to burn some more calories during training. But actually, that\u2019s not the main factor when we talk about losing the annoying belly fat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
