I’m glad I saw this, because I was going to ask about it today.
I keep hearing people saying they are doing fasted rides or fasted workouts, and I always wondered if there was any real good science behind it or if it was mostly anecdotal.
I’ve had a few good bonks over the years, before I really knew how to fuel better. I used to get exercise induced migraines (they would also happen at work from extreme sweating, stressful conditions) until I figured out I was super dehydrated, electrolyte depleted and haven’t had one in a long time.
for a bit though, I went to the opposite extreme and over fueled to the point of weight gain.
I’m way better now and really try to stay what i think is only slightly ahead of the game so I don’t bonk, or over do it.
