I have myself on a pretty strict low calorie diet + fasting and I know I'm missing a lot of nutrients. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best multivitamins they use while fasting? Thank you 🙏
I couldn’t find any good video on the subject except from the Snake Diet guy who said to 72 hour rolling fasts because that’s the sweet spot where you don’t lose too muscle (which I prefer not to do). Then...
hi! im a new starter doing alternative day fasting ! im in my in my 4th day now and i was wondering what are the best ways to break fast without my gut hurting me all day .
After day 2 it just doesn’t exist. At least it can never grab a hold of you on a dry fast. If it pops up it’s like a memory that fades fast

Does it matter whether one exercises during the fasting window or during the non-fasting one? I'd imagine that exercising when one is hungry would result in more fat burn. But that's just my personal, non-scientific assumption. During the non-fasting period,...
