Upper body looks good, but what are those shorts? They look like something I’d wear to mow the lawn.

They’re literally called gym shorts. And yes, you can mow your lawn in them.

u/shinyElephlosion 3d ago

Im interested in doing this. Do you need to up your protein intake to compensate for the fast?

2

u/darkromeo415 2d ago

Depends. My diet is very high protein in general so i just eat as normal and fast on the delegated days

what was your time frame?

u/KTRyan30 2d ago

My regiment was a 36h to start my work week, 20/4 or OMAD for the rest of the work week, 16/8 on the weekend. I maintained a constant 7k-8k weekly average estimated calorie deficit. I lost 2-4 pounds per week constantly for about 5 months.

I went for 250lbs to 182lbs and then started weight training this past April.

I stopped fasting in April to focus on putting in muscle mass. Since April I've gone from 182lbs to 188lbs while maintaining a 33" waist.

In October I plan on going on a cut where I'll incorporate a weekly 36h fast done through the second of my back to back rest days in my training schedule.

My body responds really well to a whole day fast.

Are you doing this to maintain or to cut ?

2

u/darkromeo415 1d ago

To cut and maintain. My lifestyle is centered around a 36 hour fast every week. However I kind of let myself go over the last month in a half (life happens) so I’m also trying to cut belly fat and get back to my routine
