Fasting in general is so good for the body ♥️
It gives it time to clean up all the old cells and repair them.
I did a lot of research into fasting about 3 years ago, and I can't remember everything 😅
Your body will adapt to fasting the more you do it and you will enter ketosis quicker as well 🎉
So don't give up, try it a few more times and see if the energy deficit gets better 👍
Healing:
I used to have lower back problems about once or twice a year, which my doctor told me are inflamed nerves that just sometimes "snap" and start sending pain signals until they recover...
These use to last 4-5 days and make moving and sitting very painful 😣
After I read about sugar causing inflammation, and how fasting reduces it and repairs cells, I had to try it 😄
In the last 3 years I tried to be as keto/carnivore as possible, but I do fall off the wagon a lot because of travel or family events 🫣
As soon as I feel a little discomfort in my back, I'm doing a 3 day fast, mostly dry or 2 day dry + 1 day water fast at the end of I get thirsty.
Haven't spent 5 days in bed since 🥳
I also do 23h water fasts basically every day with my OMAD schedule, which should trigger autophagy after about 16h if the meal was sufficiently low in carbs.
In general I feel great and it's so simple if you just have to cook once in the evening.
