I’m thinking about doing a one-week starvemax / water fast just to see what happens. I’m already pretty lean, so this isn’t really about losing a huge amount of weight. I’m mostly curious about the experience and whether it would make me look any leaner or sharper. Has anyone here done something similar?
I’m trying to figure out what the real pros and cons are. Some people say you get very lean looking for a bit, others say you just end up looking flat and losing muscle. Since I’m already lean I’m not sure if it would even do much or if my body would mostly start burning muscle.
I’m also wondering about supplements during it. A lot of people recommend electrolytes, but I honestly don’t want to add salt for electrolytes because it tends to make me look bloated and that kind of defeats the point for me.
So I’m mainly interested in real experiences. How did you feel during it, how did you look, and was it actually worth it? Or would it make more sense to just lower calories instead of doing a full week with no food?
