I think I am going to do this as well. I am not going to eat today

Coffee and crap is alright, right? I don't have to only just drink water?

Not according to unbiased scientific research.



In what context?

Weight loss?

Fat loss?

Muscle gain?



Here's a little excerpt,

"Research completed back in 1987 found that a three and a half day fast caused minimal impairments in physical performance measures such as isometric strength, anaerobic capacity or aerobic endurance13. In other words, they found that a three-day fast had no negative effects on how strongly your muscles can contract, your ability to do short-term high intensity exercises, or your ability to exercise at moderate intensity for a long duration."

Such a short period of time won't cause atrophy, but it will prevent gains/growth.

I wonder if you can count protein shakes and still be considered fasting? Need to check with the judges on this one

Wrong, do some research before you ignorantly make claims.

Yeah and can I blend a chocolate cake with ice cream? That's just a beverage so it's probably alright.

I can't fast. I'm diabetic and have to eat regularly.
