Fasting for well being and not weight loss

Hey all!

So I’m interested in the experiences of those that have fasted and also weight train. From those that periodically fast for 2 days a week and from those that have done extensive fasts of 1-2 plus weeks while also weightraining.

I’m am considered a fit woman with a fit physique and I weight train 5 days a week. I was also a career Personal Trainer before I became a homesteader Mom lol. I eat the typical high protein diet of someone that loves weight training.

Anyway.. I’ve been wanting to do a fast for spiritual reasons and also because I have never done a true fast thus have never experienced the benefits.

I would like to hear from people that are also active and fit and that weight train and have fasted. Was your energy affected? What noticeable benefits did you experience? Did you notice alot of gains(muscle) loss? Especially if you are a female..did the muscle return quickly? How was your energy level during training?

I’ve been lucky to work with some Muslim clients as well that would come into training session during Ramadan fasted..but of course they did get to eat upon sunset so they were training on calories from previous day. But I did obv notice lower energy levels at training session.

Do share all pertinent info!

Thank you
