Have you heard of super slow or Body by Science?

You lift heavy weights every 7-14 days and fire all four types of muscle fibers....if you’re lifting several times a week you’re not getting all four to engage or you literally wouldn’t be able to lift.

The whole routine is 5 machines and takes about 15-20 minutes. It’s awesome.


I’ve been lifting like this for a few years and I’ve seen really good gains in terms of numbers and muscle quality measured with my Skulpt.

I’m somewhat new to fasting but this seems like the perfect solution. I just finished a 3 day water fast and I could hardly walk 2.6 miles yesterday. No way I could lift.

My current plan is to lift after a few days of eating more than OMAD.

Dave Asprey has a few podcasts with the doctor who wrote the Body by Science book.

Here’s the book.

Dr. McGuff is a full time practicing ER physician and he isn’t a slick marketer.


Don’t be turned off by that. The science in the book is solid.

There are a lot of ways to measure body fat:

• Fat Calipers: https://www.amazon.com/Accu-Measure-Fitness-3000-Body-Caliper/dp/B000G7YW74
  
• Body scale: https://www.amazon.com/Omron-HBF-514C-Composition-Monitor-Indicators/dp/B007W82AZ6/ref=sr_1_18?crid=2ZSK9P0FX7IPV&keywords=omron+body+composition+monitor+with+scale&qid=1573130589&sprefix=omron+body%2Caps%2C264&sr=8-18
  
  Note that either method will not give you a very good absolute value, more of an approximation.
  
  In the end what is more important is:
  
  
• how you feel about yourself, if you like what you see in the mirror then you are at your optimal weight
  
• how healthy you are, if your have problems with your knees or you blood work then maybe it would be a good idea to lose some weight

Magnesium & Calcium along with potassium and sodium. This one has sodium, potassium, and magnesium and for $6, isn't bad. It's the one I use instead of salt on my food. I figure it may not be the ideal amount, but at least it's something. That may work for you if you want something simple.

This is pretty much everything you need as electrolytes go (and if not, please correct me) for a tenth of the price of Pedialyte and with better quality ingredients.

Anything with sugar or calories would break a fast I think.

EDIT: Added additional information and another link

I would recommend getting a scale they are around $13 it is not a must though. I realized after this summer that I was really underestimating my intake in terms of calories especially on things like cooked meats and grains, so I switch to a pretty vegetable heavy diet. I can eat a few pounds of carrots and broccoli and other vegetables and feel stuffed for less than 1,000 calories.

I am having the same issues. Well, to be honest, I've always had the leg-cramping issue, but in the past (before OMAD/IF) I would just chug Gatorade to get them to stop. Now, I can't do that, so I need recommendations as well.

Currently I'm taking these two things to try and help, but I was up all night last night with leg cramps, so they are not working as much as I would like:

Leg Cramp Tablets

Magnesium Potassium Aspartate

I recommend the book Potatoes not Prozac for people who need to snack at night might have sugar sensitivity or carb addiction. One of the points in the book is that eating a little simple carb just before bed on an empty stomach is good for brain chemistry, resulting better sleep and mood.

Hey, thanks for that! The only thing that I can give you in return is that my Doc told me to mix some fiber w/ my Orange Juice at the end of my OMAD dinner and forget about bloating and cholesterol. Enjoy yourself.

Thank you!

This is a good start... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0970679645/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0970679645&linkCode=as2&tag=zchealth-20&linkId=6SJ35PICOCRHWG6C

I went complete carnivore on Jan 2nd, 0 fiber or vegetables since then and have 0 issues with bathroom habits, bloating, etc. Fiber is not necessary for a healthy, normal functioning digestive system.

Dr. Dr. Bernstein (of the Diabetes Solution book) observed that almost 100% of his diabetic patients had psoriasis.

He didn't argue that psoriasis is caused by the sort of metabolic issues that fasting and low-carb diets tend to improve, but it does make one wonder.

good attitude on "trying means option to fail" have you read Never Binge Again (great book btw)?
