Lifting Day
100+ carbs planned (my last 'carbing up' for a while!)
🍴 My 'Bulking' for weight lifting period is over! (for now) - - Fast restarts on Monday!
I have been on Fat Secret for years and was always obese until I discovered fasting. However, when fasting, I still take in a LOT of calories! 600-800 a day (through protein powder and heavy cream).
🧘🏾♂️ There are many ways to fast, this is simply just *my way*. I feel a 'water only' fast would actually be more 'spiritually fulfilling' (feeling 'free' by taking in 'less') but I like 'extended fasting' (3+ days), and consuming 'water only' for more than a day would be 'difficult' for me mentally.
So, really I am just 'not consuming solid food' and going 'ultra low carb (<10 carbs a day).
🤾🏾♂️ I get to run again! My plan is to run at least 5 miles every other day. I believe that this is what allowed me to lose an average of a pound a day in the past. However, I have no idea what my loss will be now that my body has more muscle and I am taking in more protein each day. I believe my body burns the high amounts of protein like 'sugar' and that may slow weight loss.
🏋🏿 I still plan to lift weights 3 times a week, but, I expect that the weight I will be able to lift will be *greatly* reduced when fasting. I will try what @Senseiande suggested:
"...crank out a set in between for no more than 30 seconds...then superset an opposing muscle group... 30 seconds rest and then back to the primary exercise for the next set..."
🍔🍟 I plan to go to McDonald's and then head to the gym today... So, I'm gonna go out with a bang 💥!
