I’m 5’8 155-160, and down from 178 and I was wondering how many calories I should eat to keep losing fat.
What do you think is the best? Fasting for a fortnight or more at a time (dry fasting and water fasting in alternation) or dry fasting for two to three days and then breaking the fast followed by another dry...
