I’m not familiar with much of the rigorous science on gut stuff, a lot of it is fairly new. I will say that the Cue Action Reward model of habit formation works the best when you use the strongest cues and rewards, i.e. sex or food. I started training fasted a couple years ago. I didn’t realize that I was reprogramming my cue action reward from
cue: hunger
action: look for food
reward: calories
to
cue: hunger
action: go exercise
reward: a ton of calories
to the degree that when hungry my first thought is now to go exercise.
