Friday Fast

[BeeStung]

My body would hate me if I didn't feed it for a day, especially while working.

If Friday is your rest day then you should feed it if you want the damage form working out to be repaired.

If your cutting fat then continue eating under your tdee and working out.

I don't think you need to do anything fancy like fasting or a keto until you hit a plateau.

thanks for the advice from both of you.

trust me, my body would hate me to. my body knows every 2-2.5 hours that its time to eat.

i guess my thought is that i could have a cheat meal on thursday night and fast completly or just juice fast on friday

I'm curious, why do you want to fast for a day?

Hope I don't sound like a dick just don't understand why you'd want to do that to yourself on a regular basis.

i just figured having such a huge calorie deficit for the day would help burn the fat. i had the idea that if i dont eat my body will burn the stored fat for energy

It takes the body a relatively long time to ramp up the enzymes required to start burning muscle proteins as an energy source. On the flip side, the body is extremely good at pulling fat reserves at all times.

IF has been shown over and over to have a ton of healthy benefits. I am not a zealot about it but I use it to give my gut (GI) a break. It's a nice way to help reset everything. Secondly if you do it right and start kicking out Ketone Bodies, you get that added boost as well.
