I'm a Nutritionist and Ketogenic advocate, and my partner and I eat Keto six days per week but allow ourselves a carb day every weekend. We practice intermittent fasting and we weight train three to five times per week. We have both been in nutritional ketosis for six months now and it has supercharged our lives!
I've personally experienced a great improvement in body composition with a drop in body fat from 22% to 12%. Keto has given me increased mental clarity and focus, and it has brought with it a real sense of systemic calm. My blood sugar remains stable all day long and I no longer crave carbohydrates.
I’ve fasted before. I’ve water fasted. I’ve fat fasted. I’ve juice fasted. I once subsisted entirely on cold pressed vegetable juice and coconut water for 14 days.... and wanted to go longer.
So yes, I’ve fasted before. And these are some of the things I learnt.
