Lifting While Fasting: What You Need to Know

Jack always wanted to lift weights in the morning, but he didn’t eat breakfast first. He thought it was okay since he wasn’t hungry. One day, he felt weak while lifting and got frustrated. “Why can’t I lift like I usually do?” he wondered. His coach smiled and said, “It could be because you’re fasting and not eating before your workout. Your body needs fuel to be strong.” Jack didn’t understand at first. “But I’m not hungry,” Jack said. “Even if you’re not hungry, your muscles need energy to lift heavy weights. If you lift while fasting, your body might run out of fuel quickly,” the coach explained. Jack learned that eating a little snack before working out could help his muscles get the energy they needed. He wasn’t told to eat a huge meal, just something small like a banana or nuts. With the right food, Jack felt more energized and could lift more easily. Jack felt better knowing that eating before lifting made him stronger, and now he had the energy to push through his workouts with a big smile!
