I have also always worked out fasted -- starting as a result of me being a competitive swimmer from quite young. Remember how they always talked about how there was no way you could even think about going in the pool until a half hour after eating? Well, I guess it made sense to me. I can't think about working out with food in my belly. I started doing The Firm back when Volume 1 came out and I've always been a morning exerciser, so it just made sense to work out in a fasted state.
I've been extending that fasted state to 16, 18, 20 (why is it always an even number?) hours in the last couple of years and it's not a problem for me. As mentioned, it's important to get enough calories in during the eating window. The Gin Stephens books and podcasts are great -- both for information and also for inspiration.
