This is the main reason why I don't and won't fast. The author claims that food is not actually a daily need, whereas I know for a fact that I will injure myself cycling or climbing if I skip even a single large meal in a day. It's a noticeable difference.
- tkdubs 6y agoI do maintain a workout schedule but not as intense as yourself. Sounds like you're running pretty close to the edge of all your limits if you can't skip even a single meal.

(This is the first account I hear from someone who will get injured from missing a meal. That said, if you have to be addicted to something while keeping in top shape, food sounds like a better deal than opiates).
- grenoire 6y agoI didn't mean to exaggerate that badly but climbing is a sport where your ups and downs are very noticeable. If I don't have a solid lunch and climb in the evening, chances are I will get injured trying to do limit moves. I try to ensure I stabilise my diet and not risk that aspect, just no point for me to skip any.
- andreskytt 6y agoAgreed. If you do any intensive training for endurance sport, the math just does not add up. Even with a very efficient fat-burning metabolism (that I don’t have), there’s only so much fat on your body and muscle mass will be affected. Yes, I do do metabolism-focused sessions of long uniform low-intensity effort without prior eating to get my body used to burning fat. But it takes a lot of time for it to learn it
