🏃 Running on empty isn't automatically better.

Fasted cardio has real upsides, especially if eating first makes you queasy. But the fat-loss claim is shakier than it sounds. Some studies show more fat burn, while others show no difference.

And it's not for everyone. Power and speed work needs fuel, and if you have a condition that causes dizziness from low blood pressure or low blood sugar, skipping food raises your injury risk.

👟 If you do try it: keep it moderate intensity, cap it at 60 minutes, and drink water.
