This is a stress to the body that I need to really try to figure out. But if I don't have food to counter the fuel that the muscles are needing from a contraction, I need to find a way to supply that fuel. So it goes into a little bit of a tizzy. And one of the first things that starts to get broken down is your muscle mass, because muscle is a pretty active tissue.

And the hypothalamus is like, well, I don't know if I'm going to be able to supply the food that this muscle needs. if I don't have any food coming in. So it's a very small amount of food that a woman needs first thing in the morning to then go be successful in her training. And it's even if you're going for a walk, a lot of women will get up and go for a walk on the auspice.

And when we start looking at it, I did a competition a couple of weekends ago just for fun. And I had so many women come up and go, the first thing that you did to change my life was to tell me to eat beforehand. And now my training's better, my outcomes are better, I have more energy. And I'm like, well, of course, because your brain is like, I can handle this stress.

So if you are supplying fuel to the empty tank, of course, you're going to go far. If you think about trying to drive a car and rev it up and get it on the highway at speed with it on E, it's not going to get very far. So I tried to explain to women, if you're going to get up and even if you're going for a walk, Like you want to maximize what you're doing.

You want your metabolism to fire on all cylinders. You want to get some aerobic fitness through that. You need to supply just a little bit of fuel. And it doesn't mean a full meal. It could be the protein coffee. It could be a couple of tablespoons of yogurt, half a banana. It's not a lot, but it's enough to bring your blood sugar up and tell your brain, yeah, I've got this. I've got this.
