Just curious how long it takes your body to rid that extra fluff from the overindulgence of holiday parties! Headed for a 36+ hr fast tomorrow! Wahoo!
I was just curious if you do. And if so what type of training. I’m assuming nothing too strenuous
Realistically if you eat adequate protein and workout throughout the week or month, would 1 day a week or a couple days of fasting result in any muscle tissue loss, during weight loss? I understand glycogen stores deplete and all...
As a petite woman (4’11) every calculator tells me to eat roughly 1200-1300 calories to lose weight because my TDEE is roughly 1500-1600. My BMR is roughly 1350. I have a sedentary office job lifestyle and I’m a mom. My...

I know that diet/exercise goes hand to hand and everyone should implement both. But can you be healthy without exercise? Or exercise is a cheat code to be healthy?
I’m a wimp and can’t drink salt water. I have sodium chloride tablets instead. They are 1 gram. In the wiki recommendations, it says 1-2g minimum of sodium should be consumed daily. Does that mean 1 tablet (1g) of sodium...
Or during a long extended fast, you kinda just have to rest and do nothing/relax?
From what I understand, it considers the influence in metabolic rate, but does it consider calories consumed during execution?
This is my 2nd time trying to fast, the first one was a few years ago and I was able to make it to the 3rd day, just tried fasting yesterday and the headache was killing me so I had...

Those who have or are doing an OMAD style eating/ fasting schedule, what is your experience with maintenance and returning to more than just one meal? How do you maintain any weight loss?

And how did you decide on that target?
Not, OMAD with a 4-6 hour eating window, but truly fasting every day for 24 hours and having one meal. What was it Like for you? Did you calorie count (even unintentionally)? What vitamin/ salts/ electrolytes did you take in, if any? How long...
I suppose this should be phrased as "why is 1200 calories considered a minimum, regardless of activity, gender, height and weight". I understand that this would be a substantially low number for a tall active male, however when you start dropping...

How much weight will I loose if I fast for atleast 50 days?
I've tried the 5:2 and 16:8 a few years ago for 6 months or so and didn't notice a difference. One key factor may have been that I live a very sedentary life (especially when I did 5:2, I was...

It's something iv recently got in my head, do intuitive eating for 3 days and have little to no calories for 4 using black tea/coffee as an appetite suppressor, would this work for weight loss if it's sustainable?
My wife is tracking her protein intake and the back of an almond butter container says 6g of protein is 4%DV. We both feel like this is way off. Or are we just eating way too little protein every day?...
