40 Hour fast?

[Xscoot]

Why do you like doing fasts of this length? SRS question.

Because of my superiority complex Seriously I started doing IF over a year ago then it just morphed into eating in a 3 hour window. I still get 1900k/day all my macros and micros and lots of comfort foods (IIFYM) The 21 hour fasts feel like nothing now. (bragging again I know) The 40 hour one is just to challenge myself. I will probably never go over 40 as I don't see any benefits from going further. Right now I feel like I can climb Mt Everest. Going to work out then break the fast with a few cups of veggies then its Pizza, berries, whipped cream, and lots of eggs.

I guess whatever floats your boat.

If you are seeing results and making progress that's ultimately counts.

Whatever happened to the days when people took pride and challenges in their training, PRs, getting stronger, faster, etc..Rather than how long they can go without food?

Been there done that. I am 46. In my 20's and 30's I was close to 250 and my lifts were huge. I would have thought the same thing as you but the years have changed my perspective and goals. The world would be a bore if all our likes and goals were the same.

Op: I wish you the best of luck and your continued fasts. Thank you for your response.

This was take a couple of days ago. I am not skinny. I am cutting to 165 for Summer then will add a couple pounds of lean muscle for the following Summer. I have done the whole bodybuilding thing. Just having fun with it now. (Hope by posting this picture I come out looking like my self centered self)

Tip for future: Don't work out after a 40 hour fast. I was dizzy, tongue kept going numb and it just wasn't a good idea for me.

Thank you. Appreciate it.

Just curious are there any fat loss benefits with doing fasts (ina 24 hr window like OP does). Outside of what you can lose by using iifym and eating in a defecit except without the fasting part? Or does it all really just end up being the same.

Um, yeah, the tongue going numb can be due to a lack of blood calcium (serious electrolyte problem). Stay safe, OP!

...That is something I wish to never experience.

Just lifted weights too intensely. Heavy squats was a bad idea. Would do again minus the workout.
