But, since this is only 40 hours Dry Fasted, he explains that his body is probably not functioning on 100% fat stores. Most likely, he still has glycogen which is throwing off these results.
After my 3-6 day dry fasts I regain a lot of the weight during a refeed (even if it’s Keto). The autophagy of loose skin and destroying fat cells is great, but not sure of the benefits past that. It makes me wonder if it’s worthwhile for fat loss.
