First things first if you have any serious medical conditions or have not tried intermediate water fasting we recommend you visiting a doctor to ensure it is for you and have them give you recommendations about doing so.
There are allot of studies talking about how water fasting can help you lose weight, help skin health, help digestive system and other beneficial effects for you by water fasting. It’s best to start off by having small amounts of time fasting as opposed to long fasting for 7 days or longer. One of the things that many people fear about water fasting is that their current muscle mass will diminish due to the lack of protein and food intake for the time being. Understand that when you are fasting it should not be a thing you do for long periods of time, it’s best to use it to jump start the body fat cutting and then eventually begin to eat again to help your body and then use other methods to maintain it.
I normally don’t personalize my blogs although it is another thing to advise others without having done it yourself, so with that being said:
My plan was to do a 72 hour water fast, walking at least 7 miles a day(endurance and low cardio), going to the gym 2x during that water fast(to maintain muscle mass) and to drink water, apple cider vinger(not allot more like tablesppons) or green tea no sugar. If you were to add sugars or cream to your coffee then you have broken your fast. After doing the 72 hour water fast, then will do the one meal a day intermidetate fasting which will last for 3 days and then go to a 2 meal a day routine breakfast and lunch only for 7 days. Once this cycle has taken place depending on my weight goal from 230(35.9% body fat, 21.5% muscle mass and 31.5% BMI) to range of 220 to 210(33% body fat, 24% muscle mass and 30%BMI) after the 3 day water fasting; then from 215 going to 210 to 205(31% body fat, 26% muscle mass and 28% BMI) for phase 2 and during phase three the objective is to do more running and high resiteince training being the focus during phase 3
