Final push to 10% Experiences

I’ve used PSMF, traditional keto, and rolling 48s and 72s to go from 40% to 13% bf in a little over one year. I’ve been trying very hard to get back into fasting or psmf, but I’ve been unable to and ultimately I’ve maintained at 13% for 6 weeks, which I’m actually very happy with. In the past, I did rolling 7-14 day fasts to get below 10% and wound up bingeing to my 40% state. I feel that I’m ready to fast again and finally finish up this cut. Has anyone done a single fast (I’d have to go for 8 days) and maintained the 10% status? Or would three rolling 72s be a better option in my case?

Answer

IMHO there’s no good reason to try to maintain10% unless someone is paying you. Take a pic at 10% for your dating profile and live your life at 13-15%, just knowing it’s possible to get back. That’s why there cutting and bulking. The hardcore fasting routines are for getting the very large going in the right direction. Models, bodybuilders etc don’t maintain that level of leanness long term. Just my opinion. Be safe.

Answer

Why are you trying to maintain such a low percentage? Are you going to compete or model with it? At this level of leanness, with regular intense training, 72 hour fasts are out, and 48s probably are as well. It’s also going to be pretty important to consider what gear you’re on, if you’re that serious. You’re probably going to be doing some sort of OMAD no matter the details.

Answer

I haven’t done that, but theoretically you will need to manage body heat ( cold showers/baths ) strict diet… lots of sleep , check Tim Ferris’s ( last 5-10 pounds ) protocol ! That combined with a weekly fast ( 48-72)should get you there .
