Intermittent Fasting/excercise is the best weight loss tool i've ever done

[Shadow King]

Intermittent fasted for the month of May and lost 13 pounds, 3-4 more dropped after as I don't really eat 3 meals a day anymore.

Thinking of doing it on a quarterly basis for a while.

Thinking about doing a 2 day fast after completing an 18 hour one today. Ate chicken breast that was dressed in thousand island dressing after the fast.

Nah seriously I’m going to see how this goes & depending on how I feel I might stretch it.

Is it wise to bench press during a fast? Knowing you have to work 60 hours this week.

For anyone asking this question, the answer is no.

Is it wise? Not really, no.

Doable? Yes.

You won't be any stronger (you may in fact feel much weaker and you won't have glycogen to use for fuel), but if you're not a 3 plate+ bencher then what does it matter?

You're obviously not tryna be a powerlifter so at this point your performance is kind of irrelevant.


Not sure how much mass you can effectively put on during a fast but Imma assume building lean muscle isn't your goal right now.

I try not to step into the gym in the mornings with less than 1000 kcals, and at least 2500 or so in the afternoon but I also don't starve myself or intentionally lose weight so YMMV ofc.
