I completed a 24 hour fast yesterday and was surprised at how good I felt. I was expecting to feel like shite and that was not the case. After dinner today I plan on attempting a 36 hour fast.

My question is - Is it okay to exercise (running in particular) while fasting? Will fasting also cause me to rapidly lose muscle, in addition to the fat? My goal is to lose weight, but I'd like keep muscle mass.

lsu777 turned me onto Leangains by Martin Berkha

The new book is good and there is a lot of info on his site as well that will probably answer all of your questions.

Just FYI, though, Martin himself seems like sort of an arse but his info is solid.

perfrectly fine and no you wont lose muscle mass doing this.

You will lose muscle mass running. Do walks and lift heavy arse weights for small amounts of oveall volume. no running.


If you are serious about losing fat, the fastest way I know possible is the follow:
48-72 Hour fast
followed by 24-48 hours of eating but staying keto.
repeat

Lift weights using an abreviated RPT or LP program focusing only on the big lifts twice per week.

walk, walk, walk. Shoot for 15-20k steps a day during the fast.

I'm pretty convinced that intermittent fasting is one of the best things you can do in terms of health/wellness. My fasts are liquids only, and will range anywhere between 16-30 hours. Only negative side effects I've heard for fasts over 24 hours is it disrupts your sleep cycle.
