How’s it going comrades? How’s your workouts? Anything you care to report?
As for myself I had a rough start to the week. Pushed a little too hard with deadlifts on Monday and felt a “pop” of sorts along the lower back. Was a little tight for a few days but pain hasn’t been serious. Don’t think I hurt anything major and am at about 95% of my normal mobility. Taking some time off from back intensive lifts but otherwise think I’ll be ok in a another week or so.
It’s been really positive in ways I didn’t foresee… I don’t get as hangry, I don’t have to prepare as many meals and think about food all the time. When I do eat, I don’t have to calorie count.
Paradoxically I have more energy, since by the end of the fast you’re burning fat, whereas with calorie restriction your body only burns your short-term intake.
I love seeing others start to experience it lol. Like everything you described is exactly how I felt when I started doing OMAD and stuff. Extended day fasting is an even crazier thing. Like all our lives we are told we gotta eat and can’t skip a meal blah blah. Then you get into fasting and you realize… We are strong. Our bodies are strong. We have evolved for thousands of years and our bodies KNOW how to exist without food for days, weeks, if need be. Hell out bodies are so smart they use these times of no food to “clean house” and come out healthier for it.
