SO… I have fasted a bit you could say. In the past I have broken fasts with a diverse range of WOE’s…
After a long fast, assimilating carbs is a nightmare… bloating and awful weight gain… However, not so with keto (yeay)
What I have also noticed over the last few days is this: and I was wondering if anyone else has noticed…
I began working out, lifting, jogging, aerobics, cross-country, and off road biking… I felt compelled to - of course - because of my psycho energy levels which are so high its borderline annoying for myself and those around me…
BUT my findings are:
That instead of that nasty first week of sore muscles that normally happens when you start working out again - my muscles (as modest as they are) are actually tingling for more exercise and not sore one bit = all due to keto - as its the only variable in my experiment…
Secondly… Usually after taking such a long break and fasting the daylights out of my self… (7 dry, 7 water and another 8 dry a few weeks previous) I WOULD USUALLY have to start all over again with my weights starting back at ground zero lifting tiny things, not eve the bar lol, small sets, low reps, and pathetically light… even aerobics/runs/exercise in general I would have to start out so small… NOT THIS TIME with my keto fuel…
NOPE… started lifting from where I left off, no going back to square one for me, I just walked right in at the weight I was lifting prior to fasting… Which i have never been able to do… I am usually TIRED, SORE, and weak as…
I feel like a new lease on life, and my old lease wasn’t even bad, which say lots about this lease!
Does anyone else have these findings with regards to exercise after fasting on keto?
PS… I used to sleep a 8pm and wake at 4:30am every day… Now I cannot sleep till midnight and everyone in my house begs me to sleep earlier, but i CANT!!! too much energy (sending people nuts!) lol… inspired to lift/run/anything late at night!
