Veteran Log Why fasting helps you live longer, helps build more muscle. and my prolong fast LOG

[Mobster]

healing is great on my surgery. everyone i know is getting sick right now as there are so many bugs going around after kids went back to school. i didn't suffer any setbacks like infections or fevers like most people do. my body is STRONG and the worst is over. the area is red but no visible scars unless you look really close and they said it would take 8 weeks to fully heal. the surgeon did a great job so gotta give him props for that.

did my biggest cardio day/training day since this all started this week. 90 minutes of hell. felt really good. sweated like a demon.

this time of year with the shorter days and the fast sunsets i tend to get tired a lot more in the evenings... so i try and get in my workouts earlier in the day when i have more energy.

plan on fasting today and then tomorrow will be prepping a huge meal for the week. gonna make a big pot of grape leaves again. watching some football and gonna do housework.

That looks loads better

It doesn't look bad at all. Looks like it's healing nicely for you.

 

[sambee38]

All that fasting, you do definitely pays off.

Your body heals very quickly compared to other people.

 

[BookerTNY]

Very true about the surgery. Most people do get sick afterwards, very stressful on the body.

 

[Arabian]

Good to see that it's healing up.

Next step for you is to kill it.

 

[Zyglamail]

Nice job on the work out.
90 minutes of Hardcore training is really tough post surgery.

 

[Shrine]

you are a beast but take it easy.

This type of thing. Takes time to heal up.

Looking forward to seeing you back to yourself. Will be nice to follow that.

I’ve done it in the past but have found (what I assume to be) the blood sugar fluctuations make me crave way worse than if I do several smaller meals throughout the day.

I do the occasional 5 day fast as part of a detox routine, but limit it to once or twice a year

the cravings are your brain messing with you. could be the ghrelin effects which go up and down, it could also be addictions to food. if you go for a walk or drink some water with some salt it will go away after about 20-30 minutes. if i do longer fasts i simply stay busy and occupied

Meal of the day. Fresh caught mackerel. Brown rice. Broccoli and air fried potatoes.

Worked out Thursday. Friday and this morning cardio. Then tomorrow will do a midday fasted session.
