Hello everyone,
First time posting on these forums — be gentle.
This morning I did my usual HIIT cardio workout but on an empty stomach, before breakfast; something I don't always do. I noticed post-workout shower time that I was feeling as if I couldn't quite catch my breath. After my shower, I made my breakfast (I follow an IF plan every single day of 16-18 hours) and began feeling a little light-headed, dizzy, faint, and still quite breathless. As I sat down to eat I felt very weak and had to force-feed myself. It took me some time but I began to feel like I was recovering. My first inkling was: low blood sugar. Does this sound like it to you?
It may sound like a stupid thing to do (HIIT cardio on an empty stomach — especially when following IF and a low-carb diet) but I have done it multiple times before and been OK. Suffice to say, I did feel similarly the last time I did this, I do remember but it wasn't as bad.
If anyone could clarify if this was a low blood sugar level issue and explain why this is a bad idea for my knowledge I'd highly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance.
