I've been doing intermittent fasting for about a year now in combination of lifting weights, training mma and bjj and I'd say that it would be very hard for me to go back to a "normal" eating pattern. I've always been in good shape before starting intermittent fasting but the difference is huge. Not only have I decreased my fat precentage but I've also gained muscle mass. I don't feel hungry even when I'm fasting, I…

i don't believe you.
I don't feel hunger at all when I wake up, I drink a glass of water in the morning and then a coffee in the office. Alas, I don't feel hunger as I used to, it's not a craving, I don't feel like "I need to eat now", it's a much more manageable feeling.
And I go to the gym in the morning fasted, it works really well for me. The only times I feel it's harder to have energy is when I'm cutting down weight (and eating with a 700 kcal deficit).

The thing with fasting/low-carb is that once you are adapted it takes quite a bit more to "feel hungry". In fact the feeling is qualitatively different.

This is exactly my experience with the diet. I've been doing intermittent fasting for about 3 months now. I fast for 16 hours, and have 2 meals a day (lunch at 12PM and dinner at 8PM), I eat 0 to low carbs, since my diet is mostly animal based products (meat and eggs, and I have protein powder from beef and egg which I occasionally take as well). I really don't feel hungry at all, never. It's insane. I go to the gym…
workout without breakfest does work, although if I go to very heavy weights, I tend to take a bit of BCAA before the workout.

> since my diet is mostly animal based products (meat and eggs
Bad news. I'd recommend a whole-food plant-based (WFPB) diet if you'd like to improve your health.
I just hit day 7 of my current fast. I’ve also completed a 60 day fast which was quite strict, as I didn’t allow myself tea or coffee. If anyone is interested in more details, let me know and I’ll do my best to answer any questions.
Have only done 72 hour fasts, but allow myself both black coffee and zero calorie soft drinks.

Monday night after dinner I only drink water until bed. Tuesday I only drink water and black coffee until dinner time. I do this twice a week. Fasting is flexible. You can do it whatever times or days you like. I prefer to fast beginning at night because I sleep through the first part and I've never been a big breakfast person. I pretty much never eat breakfast. Always been a big dinner person so it works well for me…
Do you have keto breath on whole of Tuesday? I work with people and probably can’t do this.. but very interested.

Good job on the fasting, but: > since my diet is mostly animal based products (meat and eggs Bad news. I'd recommend a whole-food plant-based (WFPB) diet if you'd like to improve your health.

Which supplements did you take, and what was the goal? Have only done 72 hour fasts, but allow myself both black coffee and zero calorie soft drinks.
If you shoot me an email, my username at gmail, I’d be happy to share my spreadsheet and before/after photos. Goes for anyone coming across this in the future.
>> "The research was conducted using mice, which were subjected to 24-hour periods of fasting." Nobody fasts for 24 hours. This study lacks to mention if say same affects were observed based on shorter amount of fasting time.
A lot of people fast for 24 hours. I do it once a month. Where did you come up with the ridiculous assertion that nobody fasts for 24 hours?
i am usually doing 36 hours starting after dinner until next day after breakfast and it's way too easy, even 48 hours would not be problem. the issue for me it's i am cooking for family and children sometimes don't finish their stuff so it's difficult to combine it with my fasting, if i would be single i would be doing 48 hours regularly
