    O-K-A-Y ! Time for some serious changes.
    This year, although trying to eat with moderation, my weight crept up, making me stronger but fatter.
    I started a one day a week fast, 36 hours, only water and coffee. This dropped my weight 2 and a half k, and kept it there, but no further.
    Spring is starting = beach = vanity kicking in.
    SO. Starting 2 days a week fasting. This will steadily drop my fatness, BUT, in my weakened state I am often unrecovered from my workous, even after 3 days. With a second fasting day – fasts slow your recovery, - I will crash and burn.
    Therefore, spreading my training to a Mon- Fri- Wed spread, instead of Mon -Thurs. This should fix the recovery problem, but the weight I lose will make me weaker. I don't know how my mini, scheduled weight increases will fair. My Clean and Press is probably doomed. Might try grease-the-groove at home.

    Wow, I sometimes I go a day without eating but 36 hours sure seems tough.I have read that much about the benefits of intermittent fasting, but also that it can slow your metabolism. Good luck with your plan.

    Thanks Jerry. Yeah, they talk about lots of benefits from fasting, especially the autophage, where the body thinks its dying, so it scrounges around looking for energy and breaks up faulty cells and consumes nasty stuff. Research shows that moderate fasting extends lifespan, and improves health.
    " 36 hours sure seems tough ". Well, I've done lots of week long fasts, and once did 3 weeks. After a few days you just don't feel hungry.
