Episode notes
Fasted Cardio Boosts Overall Activity
- Fasted cardio works, not because it burns more fat during the session, but because it increases overall daily activity and promotes better behaviors.
- It is not inherently superior in controlled lab conditions but effective in real-world scenarios due to human behavior.
Mind-Muscle Connection Matters
- Mind-muscle connection may not always show increased EMG activation, but it improves technique and muscle growth outcomes.
- Focusing mentally on the target muscle helps especially beginners in getting better exercise performance and gains.
Fasting Breaks Food Attachment
- Fasting is helpful for breaking unhealthy attachment to food, creating a better relationship with eating.
- It’s not a magic fat loss tool but works well for people overly tied to regular meal timing.
