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.

It's all about calories in vs calories out.

Team wavelength and adonis approved.

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.

Jadethegladiator · « **Reply #21 on:** June 10, 2009, 07:45:18 AM »

30-60 minutes on an empty stomach (some coffee if needed) first thing in the am.
