And women\u2019s bodies? Totally different stress response.<\/p>\n<p>As Dr. Stacy Sims (physiologist and expert in female performance) puts it: fasted workouts can <em>backfire hard<\/em> for women. Here\u2019s what might actually be happening when you train before eating:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your cortisol (stress hormone) spikes\u2014bad news for belly fat and muscle loss.<\/li>\n<li>Muscle repair gets short-circuited.

Cortisol spikes. Fat gets stored. Muscle breaks down. And your body protects fat stores by pulling energy from\u2014you guessed it\u2014muscle.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a lose-lose situation if you\u2019re aiming to feel stronger, leaner, and more energized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWomen\u2019s physiology is built to protect fertility and survival,\u201d explains Dr. Sims. \u201cFasted training?
