		<description>Robert - Here&#039;s some past posts on the benefit of fasted workouts that will help:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fitnessspotlight.com/2009/02/23/fat-loss-fasted-workouts-hormones-speak/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The hormones of fasted workouts&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fitnessspotlight.com/2008/05/19/reasons-why-you-should-workout-fasted/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Working out fasted for better results&lt;/a&gt;

As far as getting dizziness and weakness, sounds like low blood sugar issues. Which means either your muscle glycogen stores are low in the first place, your liver glycogen stores are low or your workout is too intense/long for you to maintain (esp with the combination of the other 2 issues mentioned before). Solutions include allowing more glycogen replenishment to muscles (somehow adding in more carbs once in a while, aka carb loading), adding more fruit the day before (help restore/replenish liver glycogen), shorter or less intense workouts fasted. The best workouts fasted for fat loss are usually short/interval style (10-15min max) with additional slow movement to continue the &quot;fat burning&quot;. Trying to do a 45 min workout fasted with heavy lifting will probably &quot;bonk&quot; most people. Just change something up and see what happens....remember you are always in control of what you can try (and what you can learn from it).</description>

		<description>Hi Mike!
I have been reading a lot lately about working out on an empty stomach (fasting). What is the benefit of this? What is the science?  I have tried it and had to cut my workout short due to dizziness and weakness. Thoughts?

		<description>Charlene - quickly it will depend on your workout intensity. If you are walking then you probably want less carbs, if you are more intense with your workouts then you can probably tollerate more (because it will be used to refill muscle glycogen). Remember most weight loss is because of calorie deficit (total daily calories). Carbs should be spread out and all sugar/process carbs should be avoided as much as possible.</description>

		<description>Hi Mike!

You mention &quot;low carb&quot; eating.         What percentage of someone&#039;s daily calories should be coming from carbs/fat/protein?        Understanding that the carbs should be veggies and not processed sugars.  Also understanding that there should be a balance of all three in each meal percentage-wise.  This is geared toward weight loss not weight gain.  I&#039;m 167 lbs :(  I&#039;m averageing between 1000 and 1200 calories, light activity, plan to step it up to 30/intense 3 days a week.  I was highly successful on a nocarb diet for weight loss with no exercise!  It wasn&#039;t healthy.  Our bodies need all three components :)  I read that the new show DIETTRIBE is on 1500 calories 50%protein 30%carb 20%fat.  30 pounds in 90 days and they are all over 200 pounds.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been doing 20-18 hr fasts for about two weeks now and feel fantastic. One question I have about my exercising is, since I have no interest in gaining muscle size, only fat burning, can I lightly work out my muscle groups everyday with no rest day?</description>
