Fasting

[C-Mag]

easier for people with shit to do.

fasting everyday for 18 hours is easy if you wake up early and skip breakfast, and have something to take your mind off eating until lunchtime.

Yep.
I find one meal a day pretty easy. Where I get screwed is having drinks then waking up on the couch amongst an empty pizza box and beer cans feeling like a sororiry girl after rush week

I just finished 47 hour fast.

Not too bad.
Had some dry Italian Salami, Gouda and Blueberries

It will pass if you wait it out. It's just your insulin spiking because you normally would eat now.




It's just a thing, bro.

Can verify. Wrestling and fasting go well together. Can't say I've done 40 hours before, but I've seen a lot of the benefits (at least generally feeling better) from ~18 hours.

My second go is easier than the first.

One weird thing from both fasts: I get burps eventually at some point into it. I wonder if that's from bad bacteria in my gut dying off?

This week the main difference is that I ran 5k this morning to keep up with my training plan and to hopefully burn through my glycogen stores sooner so that I burn more fat.

Fasting last week cost me about five pounds on the scale. I don't think it affected muscles at all. I could definitely feel the testosterone boost from Saturday evening until about Tuesday. It felt like what happens when you first start a cycle of a SARM (but for about four days).

I think if you wanted to make a practice out of this, you'd want to schedule your heaviest lifting days at the gym for the days immediately following breaking the fast.

I think this might be a lot harder for somebody who didn't first learn intermittent fast with the 18/6 protocol, since their insulin and ghrelin levels spike throughout the day, out of control, whereas a person who does IF will have one to two manageable spikes around the time they normally eat. It's probably super easy for somebody like Carlus since he eats once per day.
