so I just completed 4 months of fasting (I had a friendly wager going, where I had to lose 15kg in 16 weeks, or pay $2000)

I did it via intermittent fasting (no breakfast, or lunch, black coffee/water only, and a normal dinner)

Basic routine was this

Monday, fast, overhead press at gym Tuesday, normal eating, deadlifts Wednesday, fast, rowing/kettlebells Thursday, normal eating, bench press Friday, normal eating, squats Saturday, fast, cardio/hiit Sunday, normal eating

came in under the target (needed 15kg, ended up losing 18kg) and won myself $2000 because the guy I had the wager with didn't hit his target.

Fasting really works, it doesn't cost you anything, and you save money.




Do you have any data on your muscle mass or lean body mass? Did you have a gain or loss in muscle mass? Or was it the same? thanks.
