In reply to lisa. Hey lovely, Thanks for reaching out! Actually, studies say that there is no difference in calories burned over 24 hours between people who eat or skip breakfast. So to answer your question, your metabolism won't slow down if you skip breakfast and do fasted cardio and you will burn more fat if you keep your body in the fat burning zone :) Let me know if you have any other questions! Love, Marina

Hi, nice article! ive read that exercising without eating breakfast keeps your metabolism slow so you burn less calories. so if i walk in a fasted state does it actually matter that my metabolism is slow and will i burn fat?

Hey lovely,

Long walks are amazing for slimming down! Rachael suggests at least 10 000 steps daily for the best results! :)

Love,
Ana

I’ve started going the gym running on treadmill and stair master within 3 weeks my legs have gone huge. Thankfully I’ve found your page and I’ve been doing all the wrong exercise for my body type. So going forward just walking for me. Long walks do you recommend for slimming down big thighs?

In reply to Natasha. Hi lovely, Thanks for reaching out! <3 If you are a lovely mix of mesomorph/endomorph, Rachael wouldn't recommend doing HIIT because it causes you to bulk up. Walking is the absolute best way to get slim, toned legs :) I know you said that walking is not ideal at the moment, but you don't have to do all the walking at once. You can break it up throughout the day. Or if you have a treadmill, you can still get the same results! Just make sure that the incline is on zero :) As for intermittent fasting and resistance training, you can try it and if you feel that you’re pushing yourself too far, stop :) Rachael has an awesome blog on intermittent fasting that you can find here. The Air Bike will most likely cause you to bulk up. Rachael suggests that endomorphs avoid cycling completely, while some mesomorph can get away with it. But even for mesomorphs, she recommends cycling only 1-2 times per week to avoid getting bulky. I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any questions! xx Love, Sanja

Hi!

I’m in between mesomorph and endomorph. I’m trying to get walking more, but it’s hard because I have to shield someone in my home so have to wear a mask at all times which makes power-walking quite hard work. I’m currently following a Time Restricted Feeding schedule of 18:6 and generally eat my first meal of the day at 13:30 and my last at 19:00, which means I’m in a fasted state in the mornings.

I’m at an average level of fitness and was wondering how much benefit there is to doing resistance training (bodyweight exercises) or HIIT workouts in a fasted state? Aside from energy concerns, are there any risks I should be aware of? As walking isn’t ideal, this exercise is kind of what I’m limited to at the moment.

Also, my brother has an Air Bike (assault bike) too – is it possible to achieve my low intensity cardio needs on this (going slow-ish, rather than high intensity)?

Thank you!
