I’m not sure if I want to kick off with a 21-30 day fast (I have done 21 before) and then transition into 72s, or just start off with 72s. I’m leaning towards trying the 21-30.
So, now.. I am far too heavy and I’m in bad shape. I’m thinking of going to the gym (60 minutes of walking in total to get there and back) and then 30-45 minutes on the cross trainer and maybe some weights while I am there.
What is the modern advice around 21 day fasts and exercise, as well as 72s?
Don’t go longer than 7 days.
I read somewhere that after 7 days, the fasts can become dangerous and your metabolism begins to take a dive. It’s also torture to go 21 days without food. You might be able to do it, but why? Just do weeklies.
I wouldn’t work out past 72 hours though. If you’re doing pro-longed fasts, working out is going to be extremely difficult since after the 72 hour mark you’re not going to have much energy.
