This trainer makes gains while fasting for a month

He Makes Gains While Fasting All Month

One of the classic intermittent fasting questions is:

How do you work out while fasting?

Some people worry about losing muscle. Others wonder if they should fast on workout days… or have as intense of workouts. And sometimes they worry…

Am I going to have enough energy to even get through a workout?

Fortunately, fitness coach, Faisal Abdalla, shared with Insider some great insights into this challenge with his own experience. Except his involves keeping his workout routine during Ramadan (which consists of fasting from sunrise to sunset for a month).

So whether you are fasting for Ramadan or just intermittent fasting, his tips can help you navigate this terrain:

• Eats plenty of protein (usually he makes sure to get a double scoop of his protein shake each day to help with this)
• He doesn’t try to force himself to eat huge portions to get in all his calories
• Extends rest periods during his workout (so instead of 60 seconds between exercises he may rest for 2 minutes)
• Depending on the workout, he may drop the reps.
• He doesn’t try to break new personal records (he focuses purely on maintenance)
• Realization that during fasting “I’m not losing strength physically but in my mind I feel weak”

He describes that after this month he emerges leaner, mentally stronger and with a greater sense of fulfillment.

While you may not need to fast for 30 days straight – if you can keep these tips in mind they can help you realize that you simply do your best. Sometimes during fasting (especially a prolonged fast), you have to give yourself some grace and do the best you can.

This was one motivator for creating Intermittent Fasting Dojo.

Intermittent fasting is seen as either a ‘fad diet’ or such a daunting task that no one could possibly do it without feeling hungry all the time. After practicing it for years and coaching private clients on it – I’ve seen this is far from the reality.

And when it is approached the right way not only do you have higher energy levels – but you feel better and tend to get better results while working out less.

However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.  

The health-boosting impacts of this practice are far-reaching and enhance many different parts of the body (such as gut health, heart health, and even brain health)

And this is what I do a deep dive in with Intermittent Fasting Dojo.

If I were to give a one-day seminar of everything I’ve discovered over the last 13+ years on intermittent fasting – this would be it.

And until Friday, May 19th, you can get it for 40% off.
