Were you able to do the fast in the end?
No my shitting was to bad
You lose a lot of muscle mass doing it that way
7 days...
no i didnt lol it was one day and i even worked out
Working out fasted burns even more muscle than sitting on your ass fasted. Just FYI.
theres little to no evidence that you lose more muscle then normal
Studies comparing fasted to non-fasted resistance training on healthy or athletic populations don't look at extended (over 24 hour) fasting mainly for ethical reasons; even fasted subjects eat after training. This study on the effects of resistance training during Ramadan, for example, controlled for overall caloric balance by having both cohorts report their caloric intakes during their feeding windows to ensure both were eating roughly the same amount. Just looking at the basic well-known mechanisms behind protein synthesis and breakdown will enlighten you. When you lift while fasted and glycogen-depleted, your body needs to break down amino acids to convert into the glucose it needs to fuel that work. Because there are no amino acids in the bloodstream, amino acids must come from your muscle tissue. And you know how resistance training works: muscle fibers are damaged, provoking an adaptive response from the body to repair and improve on them. But it needs amino acids to do this, and because there are no amino acids in the bloodstream, amino acids must come from your muscle. So when you lift weights and don't eat, you're forcing your body to repair muscle with muscle, an extremely catabolic and counterproductive process that your body is only doing because you gave it no other choice.
Your body was expelling toxins bro. You should have continued.
