I stopped doing fasts because even though I did notice a boost to my productivity, most of it was due to not having to stop in the middle of the day to eat or waste time thinking about eating. In terms of cognitive benefits, going for a run for 30 minutes in the morning still seemed far superior.

- Goronmon 7y agoFasting combined with exercise sounds like a recipe for overeating after the fact.
- mcfunk 7y agoOnce the body gets habituated to using fat stores for energy rather than glucose or glycogen, there's no particular need or urge to eat after exercise.
- rossenberg79 7y agoWhat if you are low on fat stores?
- phonypc 7y agoDefine low. Unless you're a competitive body builder on show day, you've probably got enough fat to cover a few weeks worth of energy needs.
- rossenberg79 7y ago12% is not that low, but hardly weeks worth of energy needs.
- phonypc 7y ago12% fat on a 150 pound person is good for about 63000 kcal. 31 days at 2000 kcal per day.
