Hey fellow dry fasters!
I have done a lot of occasional dry fasts this year and I want to start doing them more regularly because I love my mental clarity and I love the feeling of lightness it gives me. I just finished a 48h dry fast again, but I keep reading starting from 72h is where the magic happens. Would it be safe for me to work out on fasting days? I’m thinking a 48-72h dry fast and then re-feed and start over. My BMI is 20.5, so not doing this for weight loss but the spiritual/mental aspects.
One of my goals in 2022 is running a half-marathon again, I am currently running between 3-6 miles on most days of the week and slowly want to increase my mileage. Are there any runners here who have a fasting/running schedule? Wanna share? :)
Don’t do longer dry fast with work as it’s just stressful and decreases the healing in my opinion. Also not recommend running as you might lose muscle mass if your body burns too much sugar. Walking and hiking is better and try not to do anything above cardio zone 2. I think longer dry fast will clean your mitochondria and you should get a PR to f you refeed with proper nutrition.
