There have been lots of questions about exercise in my reading about IF here and at Dr. Eades' blog. The general consensus seems to be that it doesn't really matter. I plan to keep doing my weight lifting workout, so I think just for energy, I plan to do it late at night after eating dinner after fasting until 6pm or doing early evening, after 6pm on the days I eat until 6pm so that I'm fed & have energy for it. Cardio, I'm not as worried about. Actually, now that I think about it, I tend to workout later in the evening, after dinner, most of the time anyway, and either will be fine. I'll have either eaten until 6 pm that day or have just had a dinner earlier. I would think either would be fine for me. I'm not particular about doing my cardio in a fasted state though, I know some are, those people tend to do cardio in the morning before breakfast. On IF, I guess morning before breakfast would still work.
Considering I did eat after 6pm last night, and I'm only fasting from midnight to 6pm, I'm awfully obsessed about food today. I'm assuming it's mostly psychological and will diminish with time as I get used to this. I'm looking forward to a nice dinner tonight!
