Or during a long extended fast, you kinda just have to rest and do nothing/relax?

I’ve seen posts of people saying they’re doing day long fasts during the week then going back to intermittent fasting. Does the back and forth not throw the body off unlike keeping the same eating schedule?
I want to lose fat fast! I'm 5'11.5 and 250lb I need to get like to 180lb.

Hello all, new to IF. I have recently started IF and looking to restart working out. For those that work out as well, have you noticed better and quicker results when you work out during the fast period? Thanks!

Decided to push my limits and going to be working 12h/day during Black Friday this week. The temptation is going to be huge since we’re having amazing food and snacks this whole week but I’ll survive. Planning on breaking my...
