[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fasting seems so unhealthy to me.  Wouldn't you be woozy?  Maybe if you just sit still all day..[/quote]

I get pretty hungry by early afternoon on fasting days but have dinner early and it's all good.

I have more energy while intermittent fasting than not.  I've upped my running game and feel really good in general.[/quote]

You go running on days when you only eat 500 calories?[/quote]

NP here who also has no problems whatsoever with fasted cardio. No dizziness, no problem. And I climb about 150 flights of stairs in 30 min.

I cannot, however, fast on the days when I lift heavy!!  :) [/quote]

What do you eat the day after you lift?  You can't recover and build muscle on 500 calories. [/quote]

You're absolutely correct. I only fast once per week on the weeks when I do a rest week (every 6-8 weeks or so). I used to fast weekly, but my workouts have simply become too intense to sustain the fasting. I still very much believe in it, however. I tried incorporating frequent fasting into my regimen of heavy lifting last year...and let's just say it was a failed experiment (to say the least). [/quote]
