I tried caloric restriction: one 400-kcal meal a day.
Pros
- No electrolytes or supplements
- Temporarily satisfies food craving
- Body isn’t cold
Cons
- Easy to overeat
- Hard to track weight progress since not eating enough to excrete daily
- Still high food craving
- Lower anti-aging benefits (autophagy, HGH)
I’m going to go back to “dirty” fasting, with a couple of cheats: soy milk in tea / coffee, and a 150-kcal homemade muffin right before a run.
