Hi Ben,
I’ve just listened to your podcast 185 and wonder if you could share the video and or pdf of this topic?
Thanks!
Does the transcript help? https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/podcast/hormones…
Hi Ben,
Thanks! I found this article (nutrition breakthroughs) as it was referred to in no. 185 podcast. However, the video linked on this page does no longer work and I seem to be unable to find any transcripts for the video/article.
The page says:

I would appreciate if you could somehow share the following, rather old video or transcript, namely:

Many thanks.

Hi Ben, thanks for the relply, you rock :)
Hi Ben, i just learned about you from the get fit guy podcast! I am loving all the information you are putting out there.
I had a similar question as Pete and just wanted clarify, i like to do interval training in the morning, I have an infant and that is when I can squeeze it in without interruption, and I do it first thing on an empty stomach then I have breakfast. I see you say it is better to do light cardio first thing. I am not trying to lose weight, I get want get stronger and leaner. Is it productive to do a harder workout in a fasted state is my question. Thanks and I look forward to reading and listening to more of your info.
Harder workouts require muscle carbohydrate (glycogen). So if you're fasted to the extent that your storage carbohydrate is low, it gets counterproductive to do hard workouts fasted. But if, for example, you ate dinner 10-12 hours before, it's not a big deal.
Ben,
You have talked numerous times about intermittent fasting where you stop eating right after dinner and do some light/moderate intensity cardio in the a.m before breakfast. Due to my schedule, I was thinking of modifying this workout. Would there be any disadvantage to say: Eating my last meal around 11pm, exercising in a fasted state and finishing the workout around 11am, and then eating my post-workout meal after (about lunch time)?
The reason I'm asking is that I know skipping breakfast can have negative effects later in the day, but taking into account some cardio after a 12+ hr fast, will there be similar benefits to a more typical schedule (like the one you follow)?
Thanks- glad to see that your site is still going strong and expanding, it's a wealth of reliable knowledge among the sea of mis-information that is the internet.

Big difference Pete. When you finish a workout, your body needs recovery as some point in those next few hours, like amino acids and carbs. By depriving your body after that evening ride you restrict recovery and increase cortisol release potential…
Ben,
Maybe my question wasn't clear. I was asking about doing a fasted late morning workout and I plan on eating a post workout meal right after. Essentially I would be skipping breakfast all together with this approach.
Oops I did misunderstand! That approach would be fine!
ben
