Certainly research is starting to back this up more and more as well, quick high intensity training for me is WAY more fun than 45 mins on a treadmill.

Did this approach come from the advice you received on the show? I ask as it's a resource I trust. I just find it kind of interesting as it seems to go against a few traditional ways of thinking - particularly the morning fast.
I continue to hear that you should really get something...anything healthy...in your stomach quickly upon rising to kick-start your metabolism.
Then there is the advice I see more often than not to fuel yourself for HIIT and finally the recovery aspect and waiting again after your workout for a period of time before fuelling.
