Dry fasting 20 hours + exercise

Hi everyone, would like to do dry fasting for 20+ hours daily and would still keep exercising during the fasting hours. Currently i alternate between hot yoga and strength training and walk on the treadmill everyday (6 incline 3mph speed). Also spend 30 mins or so in the sauna. Which one of these exercises / sauna can i keep doing while dry fasting. Thanks

Answer

You are not saying for how long. I wouldnt do hot yoga or sauna on a dry fast cause you are just accelerating the loss of salts and water. The goal of dry fast is to allow your body to start using fats/ketones as fuel and eventually if you doing it long enough to trigger autophagy. The goal is not to deplete minerals and water asap.

Answer

I would err on the side of caution with all of that. Doing resitance training and power cardio can tax the body for water. Dehydration can escalate in as little as 2 hours if its too exhaustive. Id try and reduce all the physical activities you do and then add slowly based on how your body adapts.
