Would you have any nice references to the long-fast + strength training? Whenever I've tried longer than 3-day fasts, any sort of excess exercise would cause a significantly unpleasant feeling and light-headedness.

There is not too much scientific "papers" on this topic. But there's a guy named "Chris" on YT with a channel named "A Healthy Alternative" and he does interviews with people about their journey/progress/methods. I really like that channel for specifically this water-fast + strength training topic. There is something about taking some salts/electrolites/minerals with your water at some point to counter some things like light-headedness.

    Most welcome. I live for this stuff lately. It has empowered my a lot. "Kidney filtration", "mucoid plaque", "gall and liver stone purge"; and the names are Morse, MFS, Ehret, Spira. Search for the term just mentioned on YT - and do not follow blindly. I'm just getting started myself and already the results are amazing. There's also a lot about food when you are not fasting, and this more often IS backed by science (fasting is only recently picking up interest in the scientific comm); see names like: Greger(!), McDouggal, Fuhrman, Eisselstein, M. Klaper, Barbara Popper. The workout thing has also been very well researched (you do not need much time to get big results), here see the bodyweightfitness routine on reddit, and AthleanX. A couple of hours a week is all it takes. I do gym bouldering myself, as it is a more fun way to do strength training (and strength training give most bang for the hours). Good luck! I hope you get the same incredible results!

Oh, and check out Tim Shieff current videos, he's an athlete and now on a 35+ day water fast (prolly going for the biblical 40 days). Really cool guy also. He takes quite some inspiration from a guys named Shaun, who also documented some really long fasts lately.
