Yesterday I ended my second fasting day on my Eat Stop Eat experiment.

I’ve deliberately fasted on the gym days to see if it had any negative impact on my training.

So far I’ve been able to add more weight on my first fasting day, I added more weight on the training day between the first and second fasting day and I added more weight on my second fasting day.

So I haven’t experienced any negative effects on my training so far.

I had sugar cravings on both fasting days, but nothing serious – and nothing a few cups of Rooibos or Green Tea couldn’t “cure”.

The weight so far have looked like this:

99.6 kilo

98 kilo

98.8 kilo

98.8 kilo

99.4 kilo

97.7 kilo

97.9 kilo

So my weight dropped by 1.6 kilo on the first fasting day, I gained back 1.4 kilo over the next 3 days, then I dropped 1.7 kilo on my second fasting day and so far I’ve only gained back 0.2 kilo of that weight loss.

I fully expect my weight to go up a bit more over the next two days, but as long as I’m not gaining back more than what I’ve lost then I’m pleased with the weight I’m losing.

Except for some cravings I’ve had no problems with fasting, and the best part about Eat Stop Eat is perhaps that I haven’t had to changemy diet in any other way.

I still eat what I used to eat on my non-fasting days and I haven’t had to read food labels and weigh everything before I eat it.

So far I can only recommend Eat Stop Eat – It works for me and reading the book really put my mind to rest about “starvation mode” and the idea that the body needs a constant supply of protein throughtout the day in order to build muscle.

You don’t really need Eat Stop Eat in order to fast, but it’s really good for answering a lot of the questions you might have about fasting and it’s definitely good to be able to back up your decision to include fasting as a part of your lifestyle with facts rather than myths and hearsay when people around starts questioning your sanity
