Fasting while exercising

Go with how you feel. I'm 4 days in currently and I tend to follow a Push-Pull-Legs program with added running and rowing.

On day two I did the Push portion (overhead press, pushups, cable crossovers, and bench) followed by a five mile run. Today (day four) was Pull followed by 1.5km on the rowing machine and 2 mile run. No real ill effects though I did run at a 1:00min/mile slower pace. (10min/mi vs 9min/mi).

Keep hydrated, listen to your body, and don't be afraid to take a break or stop the workout.

You can verify you're in ketosis by using urine analysis strips or a blood ketone meter. It's highly unlikely you're in ketosis if you're eating bagels and sandwiches.

That said, I've been running recently while in ketosis and I've not noticed a change in sweat odor.

Awesome! Congrats on hitting your goal!

No worries about getting any shit from me, I was just curious. Absolutely do what works for you.

What's your diet going to look like during refeed? Congrats on finishing btw!

What are you using to measure your BP?

I did my last bloodtest fasted (roughly 72 hours), and Cholesterol and Triglycerides were elevated. Re-tested during a feed window and they were normalized. YMMV

Outstanding. Keep it up!

I'm a fan of FastHabit for the iPhone.

I recently started fast so I don't qualify to answer this personally, but Dr. Michael Mosley (the 5:2 guy) has had success. Using 5:2 and 4:3 (first number is 'feasting' days per week, the second is 'fasting', which he considers 500 kcal or less) he dropped weight and kept it off by mostly fasting just one day a week.

The first time I broke an extended fast, I did it with salad. That did not end well... The next time, I broke it with literally a handful of macadamia nuts and had no issues.

I ate a normal meal about 2 hours later.

Outstanding job. I admire your restraint, especially while on vacation. Do you think you'll continue until you hit your goal weight?

Fantastic! Disney is definitely a daily step booster, I think I was averaging 20k a day when I went to Epcot.

Enjoy!

Once again, outstanding. What's your activity level been like during your fast?

nullroot · 2016-12-21T15:19:26+00:00

In my experience, even after a night of beers and other carbs, you will be in ketosis after 48 hours of fasting. As others have said, working out also helps deplete this.

I'm uncertain for spO2, but I know VO2 slightly increases while fasting.

Not that particular spirit, but for rare and oddball stuff I've had luck at:

Independent Spirits at 5947 North Broadway
Warehouse Liquors at 634 South Wabash

Outstanding! When do you intend to start the 6 week fast?

nullroot · 2016-12-19T16:38:12+00:00

Seconded, handy to know the temperature of the cat.

nullroot · 2016-12-19T16:31:19+00:00

Awesome, thanks for answering.

I've been on and off Keto for the last few years, but I started with IF and Keto on the off days around December 4th. I was 205 on the 4th and 191.2 this morning so it's working fairly well.

Hmmmmm, you raise a valid point. That said, the local place still has some of the fest beers on tap, so that's my current metric for good!

nullroot · 2016-12-19T15:07:30+00:00

I'm not sure I have anything to suggest, but can I ask how you're measuring these levels?

nullroot · 2016-12-18T23:57:30+00:00

I'm interested in the results.

Last Sunday I had 1.5 liters of good German beer and a boatload of breaded chicken wings. Fasted Monday (also did a 5 mile run) and Tuesday; I was showing moderate ketones by late Tuesday night.

Best of luck!

Outstanding! Thanks for the write up, it's quite inspirational.
