Although my mother’s passing took a toll on me, I was prepared and at peace with that. We had seen it coming for months. However, being at the hospital for such a prolonged time at my current state (while seeing her wither away) burnt me out. It burnt me out really bad. As I mentioned earlier, I had done too much too soon and I was already on the brink of burning out when […]
Building muscle and shedding body fat. In my last post from April 14, I had re-gained about 7.3 kg (16lbs) since about February. In the last two weeks, although my back and ribcage were busted for 10 days, I gained another 2.2 kg and I’m now at 71.7 kg (158 lbs).

In my last update, I had just started ‘working’ again in a very limited capacity.

My nutrition is strictly animal based and I’ve done two shorter fasts this year (4 days and 6 days, both with a few days
Dry fasting measurements update! Since fasting boosts your metabolism and optimizes your hormones, I only managed to gain 210 grams of fat during my last 7-day overeating phase (I did eat a lot!) Therefore, because my body fat was so low, I only did a 72-hour dry fast this time (I would have loved a 72 with 6-hours rehydration and then another 48 hours or more). I’m now 0.3 kg (0.66 lbs) heavier than
I did a regular electrolyte fast on Sunday, June 3, and continued with a 48 hour hard dry fast (no contact with water), rehydrated for 4 hours, and then continued my dry fast for another 48 hours for a total of 4 days. After this I rehydrated for two days on my regular routine with a 2-hour eating window each day (no carbs, only strict carnivore/animal-based nutrition) and did a new weigh-in with caliper
