My stomach said “no ma’am” and here’s why.
About an hour or two before my workout, I treated myself to a peppermint mocha and a pumpkin loaf (or two). It felt like the perfect cozy moment… until the middle of my workout.
Halfway through burpees, I felt lightheaded, sluggish, and very close to losing that mocha.
Here’s why:
🧋 Sugar spikes blood sugar fast
🍰 Fat slows digestion down
💥 Your muscles want energy while your stomach is still working even two hours later.
Better pre-workout fuel gives your muscles what they need.
Try:
🍌 A banana
🥣 Oatmeal with fruit
🥜 Whole-grain toast + nut butter
Fuel for performance, not punishment.
Let’s get your life back one healthy habit at a time. 💚
