I don’t workout before breakfast either.
The reason is that when sunlight from sunrise enters the eyes the cortisol awakening response turns on a multitude of metabolic functions in the body.
30 minutes after this the gut becomes highly permeable to fats and proteins.
The optimal time of the day to load up with fats and proteins is at breakfast after watching the sunrise and grounding.
I don’t workout before breakfast because it hyper elevates cortisol.
I also block artificial light before sunrise as I don’t want to interfere with the body’s natural cortisol awakening response.
Having this habit of loading in the morning gives the body sustained energy throughout the day and cortisol naturally reduces throughout the day.
