RE: Day 39 Intermittent Fasting (20hrs) Update
For what it's worth: I am not a fan of long, slow workouts - but you will be in ketosis shortly (if not already). I would skip the weights and stay with low impact exercise. If you are unusually sore, it's cause all your short term energy sources are gone - and you are burning fat - except when you step on the gas in a work out - then you are burning useful muscle. Good work - fasting is hard.
Yeah, I have been pushing my body towards ketosis but I keep carb loading every other day so till I finally stop doing that I won't be lol. I just started lifting weights as I use to lift weights back in the day before I got fat! I usually walk/jog/hike 5-6 miles daily but I kinda got bored of it lol. But, low impact would be ideal because through out like 30 plus days I had forced myself to walk/jog on blisters lol. I don't think my body is burning muscle though as all the muscles I had under my fat is pretty much still there and a little bigger now strangely lol. Expect my arms they never were that big. Yes, fasting is hard! It's day 40 now and I kinda keep forgetting that I have gone that far! At this very point it's starting to feel like I have been doing it for months! Kinda crazy lol. That is only because I can't really remember a day without fasting over 18hrs.
