Fasting does matter. Research it.

It activates the NRF2 pathway better I think.
Wont matter if you eat like shit
Fasting will aid a deficient

I could fast for 2 days
Then eat 10.000 calories and gain weight

Yes fasting aids in a deficit. But fasting has many other benefits other than weightloss. 2 day fast after eating in a surplus is legit.

Does it matter when the 16/8 fasting window is done?
Can chose myself to fast in the morning, or evening, or both, to get that fasting window. Or is it better to really fast both in morning and evening

Done this many times. On top of 3X faster weight loss. You get better autophagy from dry fasting. I would NOT go more than 3 days tho. Fasting in general is like the best thing you can do for your health, even just 1-2 days per week with or without water.

Enhanced cell regeneration
Reduced Inflammation
Reduction in aging biomarkers
Lowers blood sugar levels

Plus when you dry fast, your body still needs a water source so it has to create its own water internally by breaking down body fat into hydrogen molecules and binding with oxygen in the blood to produce water. This water is actually way better for your body.

Good luck

Damn bro that's high IQ. So if I wanted to drop like 20kgs of fat, should i do like 3 days of dry fasting every other week till it's done?
And btw how do you resist thirst, it literally drives me mad

I agree fasting is healthy but it's not magic for weightloss
Should be done as an aid and for all the other health benefits

Fasting is legit for overall health and longevity as well as resetting you're gut (which gets fucked up if u eat shit or you're overeating for example when trying to gain muscle) and being beneficial for overall mental clarity. In terms of weight loss its no better then any diet where you're in a caloric deficit

You can, but I you will rebound with water weight after a dry fast. I like water fasting, which is what i'm on right now.

Usually on a water fast, after the first few days of water weight loss, you will drop anywhere from 0.5-1lb (about 0.75lbs/day) fat per day & it slows down the further you get. Some people add electrolytes to their water (potassium, sodium, magnesium) on longer fasts, especially if they are on keto. Very good article, https://www.ketogains.com/2017/06/keto-flu-electrolyte-imbalances/

KG Electrolytes 1


So if you wanted to lose 20kg, 20kgs is roughly 44 lbs.
44 lbs x 0.75/day = 33 days

If you were going to go 1 month straight, I would add electrolytes. I usually fast 1-2 days/week with water. Or if i'm a bit fat 5-7 days. So I don't usually add electrolytes.

Here's a guy who was severely overweight and didn't eat anything for a year. lost 276lbs, with no added electrolytes


Good luck

Do you reccomend intermittent fasting or just a complete fast? Also, can I still keep gaining muscle during fasting?

You can't gain muscle on a complete fast lol, your body has no building blocks to work with. Fasting is for weightloss. If you are taking anabolics like testosterone or sarms, you could maintain what you have if you are crazy about every ounce of muscle.

You might be able to gain on intermittent fast if you cram enough calories for the day into your eating window. But it's not optimal.
If I was trying to gain muscle & get fasting benefits I would just eat 5-6 per week regular and water/dry fast 1-2 days. Repeat
