Day 2: 14 hours without food. So far I feel pretty good. I'm thinking of hitting the gym now then having my first big meal. My only worry is working out on an empty stomach. I never do that. I'm going to drink a cup of coffee before and take some BCAA's. Hopefully that can push me through the workout until I get used to IF.
Working out on am empty stomach is not much of a big deal. I asked a trainer and what he said is that is how you sometimes lose the last of your fat because that is where you burn your body fat instead of the calories from the food you are putting in your body.
What is the big difference between the 16/8 and the 36 hour fasts? I have never had much of a a problem going a full 48 hours without food but I never did it intentionally, I just have the ability to do it. I need water of course but I wasn't doing IF, I just was in a place where I couldn't get food.
Likwid, How are you feeling doing IF?
