Nearly there with a four day fast.... Lots of ups and downs. Day one was horrendous but more because of the hangover than the fasting I think, day two was ok, not too unpleasant, felt a bit weak doing weights to start with but improved as I persevered. Day three was quite hard work in terms of hunger pains but did a pretty hard interval session on the treadmill without issues. Day four (Today) felt awful when I woke up having not slept well and weak as a kitten but a gentle interval session this morning has perked me up for now! Daily weigh in as below:
01/04 86.4kg
02/04 84.3kg
03/04 82.6kg
04/04 82.1kg
So I guess there was about 4kg of water and digestive weight lost rapidly and now just ticking along with fat burning? Presumably will gain around 2 kg tomorrow when I start eating again!
*Disclaimer I am aware fasting beyond 72 hours isn't advisable without medical supervision but I'm irresponsible and will take it easy tomorrow when reintroducing food! YMMV!
