> How is your muscle mass and health after this? Literally the best I've felt in recent memory was day 61 after I started eating again. Muscle mass was fine, I'm sure there was some decline in muscle mass, but I wasn't working out excessively during the fast. Mostly just long walks. I'd guess no more muscle mass than just sitting in front of a computer and not moving. I leveled out around 225/230 post fast and I was able to deadlift 450 for 3x reps within weeks of starting to eat again. > Any other side effects? Completely re-calibrated sense of taste post fast, probably partially due to a much healthier gut microbiome -- though I have no way to back that statement up. Massively heightened sense of smell during the fast too. Focusing seemed easier when running on ketones. Long term, it took a while until literally everything didn't taste obscenely sweet.
