Good to do if you want to permanently ruin your thyroid and rely on t3 for the rest of your life.

Your thyroid output returns to normal after 3 days of cessation.

I did fasting cardio for a while and lost too much lean mass and not enough body fat.

30 minutes to an hour. Fairly intense but I forget the specifics. Most days I did it outdoors.

FFS get on the tabata. It's quick, effective & preserves the muscle.

Which, of course, bodybuilding is.

Thanks Kyomu!

You don't have to launch in to the 20 sec sprint 10 sec rest x 8. I started off at 30 sec sprint, 60 sec slow jog/brisk walk. It still worked. Then I shortened the rest & slowly upped the intensity. I couldn't believe the difference 3 weeks made to my cardio fitness & BF levels.

Anyways, good luck to you.

thats why i dont think you should do high intensity cardio. its just easier to maintain the mass with low intensity.

Yeah, and carb up every 3 or 4 days to keep you're metabolism going or it will shut down
and the fast will be for not.
