Do it. Make sure you add some salts to your water 

@Burgerrings Cheers, a pinch should suffice? Only made it 18 hours Tuesday but will build on that today, committing Tue/Thu to fasting every week. 

When I was doing 2 day fasts I was using a product called losalt. It's at NW or paknsav usually and was putting a tsp of that per litre depending on how much water I drank. Just calculate using the daily recommended figures on the back. This will keep your electrolytes up so you dont get headaches ir dizzy when not eating. Cheers 

Your doing so well, your exercise is def going to help 👍 

I add Losalt to my daily water intake as I sauna every day and it replaces the electrolytes lost from sweating and exercise on top of that. Potassium loss and sodium imbalance made me dizzy and body retained fluid to counteract the imbalance  

Thanks guys, couldn't find LoSalt specifically but Mrs Rodgers Low Sodium Salt Mix seems to be a similar alternative. 

Yes that is good to mate..same shit 

A word of caution. 40km in a week is a lot of running. If you are also fasting you could be putting your body under too much stress. And, it could lead to a binge/purge cycle. Sometimes when this happens you actually go up in weight, not down.  

Thanks @Runkarenrun. Yeah, totally makes sense. The 45 km week was a little out of the ordinary and I'll be scaling that back to 20 km/week max. now because binge eating has been a problem recently. I still feel a little heavy to be clocking too running kms for my knees sake also. 

Hi. I’m impressed your result. How you do it. Do You change your diet? Do you count calories? Please share your experience. 

@Tatuss Thanks! Yeah, my goal everyday is keeping my calorie intake in check using FatSecret, my main problem was eating anything and everything without a care. When I first took my nutrition seriously about 9 months ago, obviously I Googled around first and landed on tracking macros and intermittent fasting. I used tdeecalculator.net to get an idea of how many calories I should be eating and used the lower carb cutting macros to get started. Fasting was a good method of curbing all the crap I'd normally eat after 8pm and I'd never been big into breakfast anyway so a 16:8 split wasn't too hard. Earlier this year I got a lot more active with running as I mentioned before so shuffled my macros around a bit. Now that I'm running a lot more these days I need to look at this again and bump the carbs up within the calorie deficit I'm working with.  

Great. Thanks. I use xylitol instead of sugar. It's same sweet like sugar, but not increase insulin hurmon.
