My New Fasting Strategy - Random Chaos


(Andy Hanson) #1

Everything I’ve read as far as exercise and fasting points toward unpredictability being a good thing. If you do the same workout everyday, the returns diminish. If you fast the same way every week, the returns diminish. So, I pulled up a random number generator on Google and generated numbers between one and five. Each number corresponds to either a fasting or eating day. I plotted them on my calendar. Next month, I’ll bump the range up to seven and see what happens. Fasting fun with random numbers!

(yes, I know they’re pseudo-random, not actually random)

Andy, I’m interested. To clarify, is this what you mean?

Suppose the random number generator generates the following sequence: 4, 5, 1, 5, 3, 4, 2. Does that mean that you will:

Feast 4 days
Fast 5 days
Feast 5 days
Fast 3 days
Feast 4 days
Fast 2 days

Sorry to be dense.

yeah i heard random is a good way to go also… alternating between a 4 day and a 3 day fast looks like a good idea i can just about do a 2 day fast but will have to try for 3 day fast soon…way to go !!!
