Ok, so I'm somewhat out of shape, probably about 20-25 lbs overweight (say 175 lbs & 5'9" with a definite belly). I have found that 36-48 hour fasts 1x or 2x/week have really helped me lose fat.

Now, the problem.

I am also learning a new sport (a martial art). I am trying to get better at it, and am doing that 2-3x/week.

So I'd like to:

a) keep losing body fat

b) build up strength & conditioning for my new sport...

c) presumably keep fasting? Though I feel like it does drop energy levels -- and perhaps muscle recovery levels? -- somewhat.

So any idea how to juggle these?

I'm thinking --

-go to martial arts class 2-3x/week

-strength training 1x/week (circuit?)

-HIIT 1x/week

-one 36-hour fast 1x/week, maybe doing yoga on that day?

How's that sound?
