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.

If you wanna quit drinking too this book is a life changer:

Best of luck and never give up!

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.

I get this if I don't get some electrolytes in me in the morning hours. I do take supplements with my OMAD dinner every day, but I get to a point where I start to feel like I'm running on empty around 2P in the afternoon (I eat about 5:30-6).

If I take more of the potassium, etc., supplements I take with food in the evening, it'll make me sick to my stomach. But I have had luck with these - https://www.amazon.com/High-Zero-Calorie-Electrolyte-Drink/dp/B008KM5MJY. Other people supplement throughout the day.

Also make absolutely sure you're drinking enough water. I drink 3L of water per day and definitely lag if I don't - dehydration will usually hit in the afternoon.

another use for this, for me, is to dab some in my morning coffee. adds a nice flavor explosion. during holidays i add a drop of peppermint extract :P

Thank you!

would break my fast?

I put liquid electrolytes in my water that don’t taste like anything: https://www.amazon.com/LyteShow-Electrolyte-Concentrate-Rehydration-Additives/dp/B00EISFBYA

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.
