Today I decided to start the day with a swim. I arrived at the pool at 11am. I just don't get how people do it. Also, if I do any sort of physical activity without having had a full meal that day, I can literally feel myself run out of energy within minutes.
It's so interesting how people's bodies differ! I feel 2x better when working out fasted than with food in the last 4 hours or so. Otherwise I feel sluggish or a bit nauseated while running and my stomach will turn with heavy weights.
Isn't it?!
When my stomach is super full with fatty stuff, I get that too. Something like a medium portion of oats with soy milk like 15 minutes earlier is ideal. When I swim, I need something like a müesli bar at 1.5km if I want to continue.
It might be because I have autoimmune hyperthyroidism, and, as a result, hypotension and a below ideal weight.
Maybe you could drink calories, like a sugary liquid, then postpone eating a meal after the run? If you even need it by then, bc the exercise may release enough stored in your body. We are all different - no shame should be attached to that, imho, we just each need to find what works for us individually.
Like I can't exercise first thing in the morning - I'll get nauseous most days. But I can for sure exercise in the evening or any other time! Thus... I do that then. It really helps a ton! 😀
I also just exercise in the evening or afternoon! It's ok that, like you said, our bodies are all different.
I avoid sugary liquids because I'm worried for my teeth.
