How to Prepare for and Break an Extended Fast
The idea is that you'll generally have a little bit of a down regulation of digestive enzymes and some hormones called in Crete. And this means that when finishing a fast, you will be less equipped to be able to digest complex meals. Any aerobic exercise at a conversational pace, walking, swimming, cycling, yoga, and even just passive exercise in a sauna or doing something like cold thermogenesis should allow you to move and boogie just fine for long periods of time.
The recent Kion 5 Day Fast has now come to a close - and we had over 10,000 people participate (that's a whole lot of food that wasn't eaten).
During the fast, I received plenty of questions about fasting, such as:
Does coffee help or harm your fast?
What can I do to improve my sleep during - and after - a fast?
What is the hormonal effect of fasting on males? And what about for women?
What is the best kind of fasting if your goal is body composition (fat loss, muscle gain/maintenance)?
Does fasting - especially 3-5 day extended fasts - slow down your metabolism?
What type of training is best while fasting, and what type of training should be avoided?
What other things can you do to enhance the benefits of a fast? (e.g. cryotherapy, enemas, etc.)
How should you prepare for - and break - an extended fast?
Is it OK to fast while breastfeeding or pregnant?
Does your ability to absorb food and supplements increase after a fast?
What are your thoughts on EAAs while fasting? Do they break a fast? And what about BCAAs?
And many more!
