3-day fasting series: Week 4/5 done
Fellas - here's the week 4 progress report from fasting 3 days per week for 5 weeks. Attached: Training log, progress photos, scale weight 6-month graph, must hip thrust setup today Today was day 3 of the fast, here's some things I've noticed. - Energy on day 2 (yesterday) was massive. This isn't typical as day 2's are usually my least energetic days - Weight loss has slowed down. 0.5kg (aprox 1.1lbs) in 2 weeks (6 days of those fasted) is not a lot. I suspect it is because my food around the weekends was not tight, with a couple of occasions of going out and a big dinner party we hosted. But hey, since this whole system is about simplifying and having flexibility when needed, I'll take the 0.5kg. - My workouts on the 3 days did not suffer. Day 1 was very tight on time so did the minimum floor before having to coach clients that evening. Day 2 was incredible. Day 3 was lowest energy but a mixed bag in terms of lift progression. Hip thrust regressed slightly (same weight less reps), but I hit more reps on my RDL. (weights in the training log are in kg's. x2.2 for lbs estimate) Next week is the final one of the series and I'm excited to see if I can hit my 86kg goal. Onwards. /George

3-day fasting series: Week 4/5 done
Lesson of the week: Not every 3-day fast is the same
Week 2/5 done. 3.2 kg (7 lbs) down in two weeks and well on my way to my 5 kg goal. I usually feel my energy levels are very high on the 3rd day of a fast but not today. It has been a heavier week mentally than physically, and the caloric deficit may have been doing its part too. So I decided to end the fast at 1pm today, which is earlier than I usually do, because I still have a lot to do before closing the week off and I felt my body needed it. Curious what's the longest any of you have experimented with going beyond your usual window, even accidentally. What is the longest you have gone without food, intentionally or not?
