I’ve found coffee and the occasional 200mg caffeine pill with 400mg of L-Theanine helpful to push through the first day of a multi day fast, when your body is complaining about burning up its glucose reserves.
Yes, I work out daily, 30 minutes on a row machine, 30 minutes strength training. Strength training has been found to protect muscle tissue from wasting during fasts, and the cardio is because I enjoy it.
