feeling like passing out

[bstudiogirl]

Okay so I started following the shadow project yesterday. I had no problem yesterday at all with working out on a empty stomach and the fat burners (Ripped Extreme by Twinlab no ephedra). But today During my workout at the end of my workout, I all of a sudden got real light head so I sat down and my legs felt like jelly and I felt like if I stood up I was going to pass out, so I sat there for like three minutes on the floor. This lasted about 5 minutes till I pick up myself from the floor and went to my car and just sat there another 5 minutes. I have been working out/ lifting weights since december with no problem. I never have worked out on a empty stomach with fatburns before monday. I have no history of fainting in the past or any medical condition. I actually had a check up last month with my m.d. and everything was fine. I have taken many types of fatburners in the past without any problem. Is this hypoglycemia or just a reaction to the fat burners?

Maybe you should have something to eat with the fatburner, ie: protein shake. See if it happens again, and if it still does...i'd quit the fatburners you're on.
Good Luck!

yeah tomorrow I'm going to try to take one capsule vs. the two I took today with a cracker at least or something.

Good idea! I'd go for protein rather than carbs though, before a workout if you're concerned with burning fat.
Good Luck!

maybe try taking the fatburner with 2 egg whites.

Yep some of that stuff I just cannot take on an empty stomach.

low blood sugar.. try having a small amount of fructose before AM cardio (its actually better than empty stomach- for those that ascribe to that)-- no insulin spike and reglycogenates the liver

how can u think of lifting wihtout food?? cardio is one thing, but you really need all the energy u can get before weights...have a shake if u dont have much time

thats is a sweeping generalizing statement.....for fat loss you need to be empty or close to it

After reading your diet log, I am assuming the lightheadedness came from lack of food. On Tuesday, in the ENTIRE DAY, you consumed less than 1,000 calories. I would pass out too.
