Heres my experiment/experience: The past 5 months Iâve conducted a pretty extreme experiment around fasting. I drew blood work early and after an extended experiment: I did weekly 36+ hour fasts. So I skipped about 25 days of eating since August. For reference I am currently a 205 lbs Male, 46 years old, 17% body fat.
Ilost a lot of weight doing ADF June-August this year. Info and progress pictures on my page x. Started ADF again on the 5th November and a week later on the 12th I had lost 3,9 kg and 3 cm around my bottom. I am a super impatient person, ADF is the only thing that gives me the results at a pace I am happy with. 6.
On9/12 I did a 4 1/2 day (111 hour) water fast (M-Thurs) then did OMAD Fri - Sun. Then Started dry fasting Sunday evening 9/19 and aiming to make it to next Sunday 9/26. After I pass a hard 72 hours, I may do a couple evenings with Salt water (ârehydrating windowsâ between 6-9pm) so that way I can extend longer if necessary.
Ieat one meal per day plus dessert/snacks within the 1-1.5 hour window. So I'm covering all bases nutrient/craving wise and don't feel deprived of anything. But also because I get full so quickly it's not a huge blowout or binge fest. Weightloss is slower than ADF but consistently going down. I throw in a 36 or 48 hour fast every few weeks.
Iplan to eat ~500kcal below maintenance for 6 days out of the weeks and fast for 24 hours once a week. Presuming you're 2500 TDEE, that's a 5500 weekly deficit. You could get the same thing by having an 800 daily deficit. Or, you can just do 500 a day and add a month or two of patience until you reach your goal.
Fridaynight I finished the last of my terrible junk food and started a 36 hour fast â my first >24hr fast ever! The first day was hard. I'm pretty adapted to IF so I didn't get hungry until the evening, but Saturday evening I was riddled with hunger and discomfort and anxiety. Day 2, I woke up and felt amazing.
34F just had twins. Iâm back to yoga and strength training, but want to accelerate my results. Also trying to use autophagy to help with excess skin that my twin pregnancy left
